Game Thread – Celtics @ Cavaliers – Sun. 6:00PM, Dec. 1, 2024

[Lee Van Cleef]

Dribble for 20 secs then chuck a contested 30 ft 3 point shot. This has been our last-possession strategy for 3 years, under Joe Mazzula. Idiotic.

[Celts17Pride]

Nice first half for the Celtics. Hopefully Holiday has a drink from the fountain of youth during halftime

[NYCelticsfan136]

Tatum has to start shooting it better in the second half.

[bucknersrevenge]

Good foul. See. That's why this team doesn't scare me. Felt like CLE had control of that whole half. We spent chunks of time just missing shots. Many quite makeable. And I look up and at half we're down only 2.

[Deivork]

All things considered, not a bad halftime result. I'm not too worried, other than Jrue's funk...

[phincsfan]

Peterson. He's doing pretty good, with the Big club.

If we just signed Drew Peterson to a 2+1 minimum and traded #30 for some future assets, we’d probably be better off. I like Drew long term better than Baylor and they’re both turning 40 next year, so it’s not an age issue, lol… gimme more Drew Peterson !!

Unless Stevens has a target that can only be taken in the 1st, I think moving that pick for an another 2nd a future 1st is a good plan.

[NYCelticsfan136]

They’re fortunate to be down just two after laying a bunch of bricks in the first half.

[phincsfan]

Jrue will be fine

[playa-hater]

Oh my god this lady again.. Is there anyone else they can hirer?? Lol

[Parliament10]

JT has to STFU and play, jawing at the ref during an offensive set

That is just bad and unprofessional. Show it on the Court.

[kivancb]

Donovan Mitchell with a Voskuhl as well. We should take advantage of that, as he's been a notorious Celtics killer.

[phincsfan]

Gonna need a great second half to win this game.

Just have to out score them by 3 in the second half

[VeryMuchWoke]

I just woke up. Are we getting quality looks from 3 or no? How long is White going to be out?

I hear there's a Unicorn in Arkansas, that's worth a trade up...

[Celts17Pride]

Celtics shooting 36% and 30% from three point range, down 2 points. Good sign!

[Parliament10]

I just woke up. Are we getting quality looks from 3 or no? How long is White going to be out?

Not much word on White. But, I would expect Jrue to be out tomorrow, and D. White to play.
I'm shocked that Porzingis and Horford are both in the Game.

[Deivork]

If I'm a cavs fan, this is way too close for comfort. The cavs are making some pretty crazy shots, celtics are playing drew peterson big minutes with a bunch of people out, and it's a 2 point game going into halftime.

Well yes, but they'll also make adjustments for the second half. They're well coached and Mitchell should play better and can get so easily hot

[ConstableGeneva]

I just woke up. Are we getting quality looks from 3 or no? How long is White going to be out?

Not much movement. Tatum going iso when he gets his mismatch. He's missing his screening partner. PP ran out of bullets.

Abby said White might not be out long. No limp.

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

Solid performance by Peterson against the class/semi-class of the NBA, but honestly,
if Hauser was just shooting for his usual average, you wouldn't need him. Peterson is there
because Hauser is struggling...

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

1st time in 12 years that the top Two Seeds are playing each other on the same day: Boston/Cleve - OKC/Houston.
