Even on the slow-mo cam it didn't look like Brown touched Garland.

Boston is very clearly superior. Cleveland is missing Allen and Wade but there is an obvious talent mismatch and the Celtics are just in sync with each other.

They don’t scare me. They don’t have a go too guy you can go to for a bucket. I’m actually fairly confident the cavs can make this competitive


Celtics is trash , you’re right about this , little adversity and Tatum/ Brown will shrink , Minnesota will sweep them if this is the finals

Exactly what i said in our team forum. Gotta hone in on trying to take something away because the Celtics are getting anything they want.

Sun Tzu’s art of war clearly states: let your enemy beat you at first, so that way you winning in the end is the last thing they’d expect.

…I think I got that right.

Mitchell doing everything he can to keep this sorry ass Cavs team within striking distance. Who else is going to step up and help him? Where is the urgency & heart from the other players?

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.

The West should just become the real championship
The East Final Winner should just win the #1 draft pick

It's the only way the East can become competitive
Bronny will become Murray 2.0
