Play like this and they'll lose to whomever wins the Knicks series.

Yeah that is not gonna happen. Those other teams struggle at times as well. That is the nature of the NBA.

This is how you win championships.

Win the ugly games.

Overcome adversity.

It's not going to be a 20-point win every game.

Just find a way to get the W.

Nah.

They gave crappy effort when they saw the Cavs best player out and it almost bit em in the ass.

The general board is the saltiest place on earth. Crying about the Celtics not winning road playoff games by 50 points lmao. Bunch of clowns there.

We would have lost that last year.

Jrue is such a massive upgrade for playoff experience savvy than Marcus Smart (and I loved Cobra)

Let's close it in Game 5 and give Zinger more time to recover for the ECF

Yeah, you're 100% correct.

That NBA is not 1 + 1 = 2.

There are times where something like this happens.

I mean nobody believed the Knicks would get blown out in Game 4 after losing Game 3.

The NBA is unpredictable.

Well Horford played only 28 minutes, that's a win.

Watched a little bit of the game at the start but had to leave. Looking at the stats, were the Cavs really that passive to only warrant 7 attempts at the line to Bostons 24? I get a couple were end of game but that doesn’t seems right.

Larry_Russell · Post #1152 » by **Larry_Russell** » Tue May 14, 2024 1:32 am

Man some of you guys are pathetic.

White sucked
Horford sucked

Cleveland playing back against the wall...and that is always a dangerous team. They had nothing to lose
. Nothing.

They did all they could...take 50 3 pointers and slap at everything

Celtics executed when it mattered
Team won.

If donovan was playing this would be a loss. I’ll take the win, but Jt’s play in the 2nd half, especially in the clutch so messed up.

Why sadly, that was the intention, nothing like some humour for relief.

The Knicks were due. Thibs is playing all of his guys for 45 minutes. They looked mentally drained.

And like said, stuff happens in the NBA.

The Cavs were also due for guys like Strus to get hot.

Strus has been trash in the playoffs until this game.

It evens out.

Don't necessarily agree. Garland is better at setting the table for the others and they all lifted.

All year they have been better with only one of Mitchell and Garland and one of Mobley and Allen. Despite what people might think, this was still a pretty good win on the road when you look at their season record in these situations.

Sorry, meant my post for the regular board.

Knicks don't have anyone left other than Brunson and Hart. I'm not even sure you'd need Porzingis back.

The Cavs had nobody tonight. That's why I said "play like this"
