PLAYOFFS, Rnd 2, Gm 1 – Cavaliers @ Celtics – 7:00PM, Tues, May 7, 2024

Celtics are going to have a shock to the system when they have to play a real NBA team in the ECF.

Knicks (most likely) will be a good ramp up to whatever real team comes out of the West. They are good but not quite on our level.

Don’t believe there is one left in the East

[The Corey's]

I must be really heading into boomer territory because I remember a time where that foul was a over the back.

Now it's a defensive foul.

There's actually no such thing as over the back in the rule books. You just can't make illegal contact, whether it's over the back or under the back. It's one of those TV announcer made rules, like having your feet set on taking a charge.

Right.

And back in the day the player going over the back is the one making the contact.

Today it's the player underneath him.

Cs lead by 23 early in the 4th.

The objective is to win, not to let JT score 40 or 50.

He can’t score 40 even if he tried lol.

He did it in 2022 and 2023.

[Homerclease]

Do not repeat the regular season loss against these scrubs. Bury them and send a message

[Parliament10]

Sit JT in the 4th. JB got this.

Don't forget our 3rd Man, D. White.

[Bill Lumbergh]

A few more minutes and I want to see Springer.

They can get away with it against this team. JT looks a huge fraud.

It's a matter of time til we see Brissy bricking layups.

Wait I am confused.. I think this is a good thing
??

What team is that?

[Triple7]

We want Tatum to make his shots not take more shots. Your read isn't accurate.

I'm sure Jayson wants to make his shots as well... it happens, he's doing everything else.

No one is arguing that. If we can't hold JT accountable by asking what's wrong then what's the point?

He needs to be better and he will be the first person to say it.

He can’t be the face of the league if you’re not even the best on your team

Oh please, read through this thread. We are up 20 and the only focus is hysteria on Tatums missed shots. Negativity and short memories are the currency here.

[Parliament10]

A few more minutes and I want to see Springer.

I wanna see Tillman again, and Queta.

Jerry?

Knicks don't have close too enough fire power to keep up. By then Porzingis will be back.

[Celts17Pride]

Sam has been basically useless tonight.

Both Hauser and Merill??

Hauser/Merrill has been a draw

[SuperDeluxe]

Hauser with the Tony Snell stat line 0-0-0-0-0-0 but +21 lol

Merrill making Sam look bad (-12, but 1 assist).

[Triple7]

Sit JT in the 4th. JB got this.

Don't forget our 3rd Man, D. White.

Of course of course Dwhite!!!!

[GrandTheftRondo]

There’s been something off about Tatum’s game all season and it’s not just him being more unselfish.

We’re probably just lucky the East is what it is.

I can’t imagine 2024 Tatum doing similar things to what he did in the 2022 playoffs.

Thankfully the team is much better and the Bucks aren’t around.

[Fantaxp7]

JB unreal tonight
