2024 NBA Playoffs: East Semifinals: #1 Boston Celtics vs #4 Cleveland Cavaliers (BOS WINS 4-1)

[Chuck Everett]

Wade looks pretty good early.

[picc]

Like most injured players, all Dean Wade had to do when he wasn't playing was practice threes.

[2weekswithpay]

With Wade back Niang shouldn't be in the rotation.

[AussieCeltic]

Celtic killer Dean Wade

[Chuck Everett]

Hauser with a rainbow.

[picc]

Bro you can't get bodied up by Sam Hauser if you're Mobley. That was baby deer level strength and motor skill.

I recall one of the sports commentators saying of Porzingis move to Boston - that he won't be contributing come playoffs - seems to be coming true.

[JujitsuFlip]

Tatum being aggressive early, hunting his shot.

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Good Tatum game. I'm not sure what is worse between getting killed by Tatum or by the Celtics but I think the Cavs should keep enabling JT/JB to beat us instead of giving up good looks to their role players.

[Zeno]

Celtics seem committed to launch threes regardless of whether they are open or not.

All their 3’s have been wide open tonight aside from
Tatums last one which was a bit of a heat check and Holidays which he had to shoot because of the shot clock.

Agreed. But I wasn’t actually suggesting them forcing them was a bad thing. If both teams shot 50 3s, they will win going away 95% of the time.

kp being injured was always a high probability outcome. celtics should still have enough to beat the cavs but if they don't, then the kp trade was a bad risk by stevens.

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Wow really unlucky, killed by the 3 at last second of a broken play

[SportsGuru08]

Another Mitchell-over-Horford three pointer. Terrible defense.

[Black Jack]

This feels like such a consequential series. whoever loses is probably getting broken up as a team

[Iwasawitness]

So I guess we’re getting bubble Mitchell.

cavs did improve on last season in terms of post season advancement so they may try it another year. celtics lose then i'm not sure what they do. maybe they get rid of joe first.

[Chuck Everett]

Great fastbreak. Like high school weave.

I could see either team working out and eventually winning a title or failing and being broken up. its really iffy with both.

zinger on the bench is a bad sign for the Cs. Jafro not being there doesn't seem like as big a deal.

[AussieCeltic]

Tobias Harris looks good out there

If Boston loses this series, its gonna get nuked from orbit.
