Mitchell, LeVert, and Garland work well against a team like the Celtics. They can all create their own shot as well as create for others.

I said after game one I was encouraged because of the number of open looks. Tonight they fell and most of those threes were wide open or shots that Mitchell hits

This performance does not indicate a five game series.

You might be right. But there really should be no way that the Cavs should be able to guard them consistently.

I think guys were just missing shots tonight. But who knows.

If Magic-Cavs was an "unserious-off" then what is this considered?

They should keep playing the Celtics starters. They've been resting for 3 months.

Celtics are soft man. They wilt under adversity when their talent just doesn't let them coast to victory. Cavs take a lead and they had no answer. That just isn't the character of a champion.

This is why we hoped they would lose the games. They are totally unprofessional.
