Cleveland is just too small with no Allen and Wade against Boston...Orlando didn't have the experience or offensive players to take advantage of that.

I've never seen Garland have a good game, But I have seen that from Sexton.

TNT graphic dudes are on top of things.
Did they really show that graphic? I totally missed that.
Yup, it was during the stretch when the came back from the early 2-10 deficit. They prolly meant to show the Celts 0 for stat but messed up

If Garland can't stay in front of Jrue or Pritchard, there's really no where to hide him on defense in this series.

Celtics looks like they're not really trying that hard, hope Cavs can make this a series

Mazzulla starts the series in stupid drop coverage and the Cavs just exposed Horford in it. They threw it in the trash bin when Kornet came in and the defense was much better.
I hate drop coverage almost as much as the awful coaching guy on you tube

TT matches up really well with Horford and really poorly with Kornet. Garland is one of the best PGs against drop-coverage in the NBA, Garland pulls him when White goes to the bench and Kornet comes in.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs: East Semifinals: #1 Boston Celtics vs #4 Cleveland Cavaliers
Without Wade and Allen, there’s just too much pressure on Mobley to take care of everything around the rim in terms of rim protection and rebounding. Strus is a SG playing PF out there. Boston’s game plan should be to attack the rim again and again with Tatum/Brown.

I heard JBB has signed a 5 year extension. They're just waiting for the playoffs to end to announce.

Garland is a trash can. Please bench this scrub. I would start LaVert and play him on ball with Merrill off in the 2 unit

Re: 2024 NBA Playoffs: East Semifinals: #1 Boston Celtics vs #4 Cleveland Cavaliers
I know Cavs are down a couple guys but Tristan Thompson and Marcus Morris playing meaningful minutes in round 2 is rough.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?
Please advise….
