lol…. First few minutes basically the nightmare start for a watchable game. Cavs are treating this like a throwaway, I will too. Boring ****.

Just remember, ESPN felt there were 100 players in the league better than Derrick White.

The intensity I saw last night from the Wolves really can't be compared to any other team in the playoffs. These other games look like preseason.

Not Mitchell, but the others I most certainly do. Holiday and White are a different animal. He won't go off on us like he did vs. Orlando. Plus we can compare the benches if you'd like.
Mobley is going to have to have a great series for them to have a chance. He’s the X factor
We have a lot of X factors on our side.

ESPN also employs Kendrick Perkins so this shouldn’t surprise anyone

Brown is running into Mobley and Okoro going to the line. If this is how this game is going to be called, the Cavs should go to the bench early and rest the starters.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Celtics have already taken 3 contested 3 pt shots early in shot clock so far

Cavs offense looks much more comfortable tonight than they ever did against Orlando.
And the Celtics offense is just doing whatever they want against the Cavs defense.

Donovan giving me mid 2000's Kobe flashbacks, every time he touches the ball he takes a shot.

Has Holiday taken a major step back defensively or is this just a rough start for him?

I think Celtics defensive intensity will increase as the game goes on but so far it feels more like a RS game
