ECF: P2 | (2) Boston Celtics vs (4) Cleveland Cavaliers | Tied 2-2

[Concernedcad]

I was hoping Lebron would throw the ball at the guy with the fake MAGA hat.

Celtics are beyond screwed if they don't win game 4 and they're not going to win a game 7. Not sure why they took tonight off.

All that Cleveland nightlife distracted em...

[Warchant]

Kinda bothers me that George Hill is so inconsistent...like why dont u just always play aggressive.

Cause hes a scrub that shot 4-11 FGs and 3-9 on 3s and gets praised.....KD goes for 38 on 60% FG and gets ridiculed lol

KD and Hill aren't even remotely comparable in talent or expectation. This is like comparing apples to radishes.

Its really not hard...Im not comparing Hill vs KD lol

Just a brutal performance from Boston. Not even sure Cavs were really that great tonight. Good for sure, but Boston made it so easy.

Up 2-0, Boston played with no sense of urgency or intensity. Clear from the tip. No way should the Cavs ever be more active. Boston didn’t set tempo, didn’t try and defend. Just content to play basketball.

No attention to detail I think they may have left Cavs off the hook. Game 4 may be titanic. Let’s hope Boston isn’t still in Boston mentally.

Brutal performance.

Cleveland does have a decent night life down near the Q...but still funny.

Are you really comparing George Hill to Kevin Durant? Dude wtf?

No I'm comparing a scrub getting praise for shooting less than 40% but KD gets the fault when GS loses and he plays great

KD didn't play great last game. Sure, he scored a lot but he ruined the flow of the entire offense with heavy isos. He shot them out of the game.

LeBron did the same thing to the Cavs in Game 2.

Bost had no chance 2nite....the NBA wasnt having LB go down 3-0 vs an undermanned Bost team...lets get real here

[Dupp]

Hopefully we get that Celtics team every home game and I’ll trust the goat to win game 7

[G R E Y]

LBJ's leadership has grown over the years in terms of supporting his young team, refusing to throw them under the bus when they underperform, encouraging them. As he goes, they go, but that's both on the court and mentally, too. It's a newer role for him, and he's adjusted well to it.

Celtics really failed to capitalise in this game...came out a step slow and never really got going. No urgency at the start, thinking they could just switch it on... which can be dangerous for a youngish team vs a team of vets. That slow start manifested hesitation which then allowed the Cavs defense to get encouraged which then caused more hesitation which led to this blow out.


Cavs to there credit came out with more urgency and ensured that everybody got going. George Hill was fantastic in setting the tone..getting the ball around and being aggressive early...and Lebron was his usual Lebron.

Whats kind of scary is that Hill, Love and JR didnt even shoot well. They played well in other facets, but LeBron and Korver were really the only great shooting nights. And several of Korvers came in garbage time. And for as many 3s as the Cavs made, most were wide open. Expect those shooters to knock those down. Still expecting an even better shooting game at some point - hopefully we can keep the defensive intensity up.

Huh?

Don’t just make stuff up. The key to the series is game 5. At 2-2, game 5 winner likely to take series.

Boston would be fine in a game 7 at the garden. I would rather be in Boston’s position, up 2-1.

Game 5 will determine the series IMO.

Boston never had a chance in this one. They were outclassed tonight.

He shot them out of the game? They lost by 25 and he scored 38 pts on only 22 FGA....man some people are clueless...who did u want to get shots Klay(3-11) or Curry (7-19)...cmon man wake up and admit KD is their best player

He averages 33.2 points per game with 9.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in Game 7s.

[ChromeKid]

Cavs should cruise to close the kids out in 6

He is their best player; however, to me and several others, he ruined the offensive flow of the game. Rather than the traditional pace and space Warriors offense, it devolved into KD ball.

Thats how weak he East is....the Cavs fn stink and people expect them to win 4 straight....man do we miss the good old days of Chic, Det, Bost, Ind, Philly, NY, etc

He’s won his last 5... first two he was young and on big underdog teams. Still played good.
