Boston's defense was terrible. Like they thought they already won the series.

I mean, I sure as hell picked them in 4 but the players shouldn't be thinking it'll be a cakewalk.

Leagues wide open , even moreso since the last time you played, and that's how you come out?

Sorry. Just sorry.

brunson clears him

He’s not on that scoring level. He needs to work too hard to score compared to Brunson, Mitchell, Luka etc. great player but he’s not tier 1 and I’ve always said that

Any team blowing out the Celtics is not boring

Sure it is, when Boston plays like the magic on offense...

The Cavs never did this to us either. Lol.

To Boston fans, all of these posts from me in particular are not anti-Boston posts btw. I'm just defending my team who were trashed throughout the playoffs by media and fans. Sorry for catching you in the crossfire.

Awesome win Cavs fans congrats! Cavs outshot and outworked the C's tonight and Donovan was electric in the 2nd half. See ya again Saturday.

That game 3 is going to be bananas. The TD Garden sounded like a mausoleum even with the 2nd half starting with a tie score. Celtics got outscored 64-40 in the 2nd half. Burn the tape and come out with more effort. You're not going to win every game in a blowout.

A lot of assumptions here. Like, that the Wolves will beat the Thunder, for example.

And the amount of teams in the west was stacked those years. Denver was never the clear favorite like Boston has been the last few years

Right. Denver was never favored to make it out of the west those years, it was always the Lakers.

The Spurs and others teams as well were usually in those Nuggets teams way.

Check out HardRock...not sure where you live but I got +900. They boost random games everyday. I like the software also.

Congratulations to the both of you.

I feel like Brown is the only guy on that team with a killer instinct but he doesn't have the talent to be THE guy. Whereas Tatum has the talent but he just doesn't have the mentality.

We had plenty of open looks in game one. They don't play with nearly the defensive intensity that Orlando does. Not even close.

Id like to see the data, but shot quality from 3 looks like it was similar or even better in game 1 for the Cavs. Difference is Cavs hit their shots today and C's missed

Classic boston letdown. Minnesota needs to stay focused, they can beat this team

Out of all the series to be 1-1 after two games, this one is the most surprising.
