Allen needs to come back for Game 4 or we're in trouble.

It looked like he was anticipating a hit that never came.

Nice win for the Celtics. Cavs did well to keep it somewhat close through the bad shooting. Next game will be key.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Tatum had a great overall game but defensively was one of the best I’ve seen from him in a long time. Basically was playing center out there for the Celtics and got some massive boards. That’s how you **** respond JT!

This has been the least competitive second round series so far, which is what I expected. Two blowouts and a somewhat comfortable win.
