Basically two Fredo Corleones appeared insisting they were smart and demanding respect.

If Mitchell and Allen can’t play, this offense will have a hard time scoring more than 80 points.

Bummer sorry Cavs fans. Sounds like Allen is still out as well. Didn't take the court for warmups.

Hopefully the C's will not let their guard down tonight.

Had a feeling Donovan was out cause of the lack of news was concerning this close to the game. Calf injuries just blow can’t risk playing high level playoff games

However Cavs fans, if there is a contending team that likes playing ass when a star player is out, it’s always the Celtics.

Now they definitely need to finish this off in 5 and sit at home watching IND/NY go the distance while Porzingis recovers.

It is more about Cleveland. Boston is just a jump shooting team so their "play like ass" is based on whether or not they hit their 3's. The issue for Cleveland now is even if Boston misses 3's, Cleveland won't have enough offense to win.

Is there any chance Cavs did this on purpose, knowing Celtics will blow it if they sit Mitchell? Mitchell now well rested for game 5. JB Bickerstaff might be coach of the year if this works.
