Good win. Now finish them in Boston.

Celtics took just 41% of their shots from 3. They're just 9-8 (incl lone loss to the Heat) when taking less than that number from 3.

Cavs like the Heat are making extra focus on keeping us off the line. Good job finding enough buckets to pull it off without the 3-ball.

Re low assist number, we missed a ton of open looks via passes from the paint. Our potential assist number should be higher. And by "we", I mean you Al Horford.

Was this Cavs lineup worse than the Miami lineup from game 5?

Jrue owned that game when it was on the line in the second half. Phenomenal perimeter defence and some killer baskets when we needed them the most.

Hopefully he gets a bit more help from White in the ECFs.

Jrue was everything he was billed as tonight. His defense was AMAZING.

Also voted “Coach” for playing Luke real minutes instead of running Al into the ground.

I will limit my commentary on the Jays tonight to “they still need to be better and mentally tougher” to win it all.

And MY GOD can we not bleed the air out of the ball for a whole quarter like this? Please.

Kind of wild that Holiday has seemlessly picked up while D White has been a little cold. Great to have such luxuries kicking around.

Also somehow Horf had the highest +/- lol.

Celtics players with 30+ ppg, 10+ rpg, 5+ apg in a playoff game:
• Bird - 19
• Tatum - 12
• Havlicek - 7
• Pierce - 4

Yeah this is how the next (hopefully) two teams will try to defend us going forward. KP is huge for this reason.

Tatum driving, Jrue stepping up and Jaylen shooting 22-32 in these two away games helped us generate enough offense but it didn’t always look pretty.

Pritchard was good and should have established by now that “he can play” in the playoffs.

Al can miss all the jumpers he wants. Until the Finals. He’s still invaluable.

It's not going to be Bon Jovi in a bed of roses every game.

But the goal of getting a win or wins in Cleveland was achieved.

Some might want it to be perfect every game.

Not happening in the NBA.

JB making that dagger from a pass from JT is what winning basketball is all about.

JT made the right play and JB made the big shot.

All the whining about whatever is just entitlement.

I figure you were wearing your stainless shirt too? That was the unheralded key I think.

Is it whining to ask that our offense during last half of the 4th not resemble this?

It's always nice when you attack the fan base.

JT and Jrue tonight , could easily be JB as well. On the other hand Al and White killed us tonight, no clue why Tillmans not getting any burn….. defense was questionable in the first half as the Cavs shot over 50% from the 3 pt line. C’s need to turn it up for game 5 and send these guys packing with a gentlemen sweep!

It has been like 15 years since anyone put any stock in single game plus/minus.
