GG.

As I said before when the Celtics won the 1st game - the Eastern conference runs through Boston and tonight doesn't change that. I believe fully in the Cavs but we still have to prove it. Looking forward to more games between these teams and hopefully a playoff matchup.

Good Game Cavs.

Deserved that Dub.

Can't complain about the Celtics effort being dpwn 2 All Star Calibre Starters.

Spida was phenomenonal. Willied his team over the line in a super human effort.

Even though we lost, it definitely was one of the best games I have seen this season.

Happily we got a pretty cushy/soft schedule for the rest of the season !

I retract my comments about the city of Cleveland and Cavs fans, unnecessarily salt based trolling.

I don't know how anyone who watched that game can sit here and say the NBA is more boring than ever.

It was a magnificent close and hard fought contest between by far the two best teams in the East.

Tatum was gassed in the final quarter, I am giving him a pass for that.

Tight game in Houston. OKC without Chet give the Rockets a chance for the upset.

Felt like they played good defense. They weren't scrabbling in rotations. Tip your hat to Mitchell for making big plays down the stretch and making shots over the defense

I'll be honest, SGA constantly getting to the Free Throw Line is ruining my enjoyment/appreciation of his undoubtedly talented gifts.

Hartenstein was such a good addition for OKC, especially as Chet injury insurance.

Got nothing against this Cavs team though, they play Hoops the right way.


lol. It's always funny when people that live in **** holes like Boston talk **** about other cities.


Someone who’s never been to Boston. There’s a reason it’s consistently rated as a top quality of life city and the state of MA as a whole. Cleveland and Ohio aren’t usually recognized for anything prominent in life other than one of the top hospitals.

I travel for work and have been to boston quite a bit. Nothing at all to write home about.
Cleveland has Two of the top hospitals, not one.

The Celtics are vulnerable if games are close because Tatum isn't a good closer. But I have a hard time seeing a team getting more than 2 games in a 7 game series with a healthy Celtics' team this season.

And ironically Boston has it beat in healthcare as well having more volume of top hospitals and overall healthcare for its residents. Comparing it to Cleveland, Boston is other worldly. It’s a world class city which unfortunately Cleveland cannot claim.

Cleveland is a shithole.

No one books a vacation to cleveland.
No one thinks, "I hope to live to cleveland some day"

Cleveland residents dont want to live in cleveland.
