2024 NBA Playoffs: East Semifinals: #1 Boston Celtics vs #4 Cleveland Cavaliers (BOS WINS 4-1)

[JujitsuFlip]

Dean Wade returning tonight is huge for Cleveland. I don’t expect him to shoot well but just having his defense will be big.

He's not played in 2 months, let's see how many minutes he can log.

You’re 100% right.

But if it means Niang doesn’t see a single minute of playing time, I’m all for it.

Haha same.

Brown is such a bum. Can't go left, can't make a layup.

Meanwhile, Clyde Drexler is regarded as a "bum" by some modern fans for allegedly having no left-side moves. And yet Brown, who is even more limited in this regard, is a superstar in the current league.

[JujitsuFlip]

Wade in, Allen out.

Unless someone has been sandbagging, I don't see how he's in game shape.

Agreed. Maybe he can give 10 minutes or so off the bench.

If Tatum ends up with 40 or more points, we can blame that jinx RealGM thread again.

[SweaterBae]

This is awful.

Okoro steps out of bounds every single game in the corner.

Every single game.

It's maddening. If it wasn't the NBA, he would get yanked immediately for it. But since you can't scream at these guys, one of his teammates has to say something. Know where you are on the court and stop doing it. We keep losing possessions for no reason.

Game is on pace for 105 3pt attempts. Analytics!

Brown has been going left all season. More than anyone else I’ve seen. He’s made a point of finishing with his left.

But he makes one turnover last game on his left hand side and people start bringing it up like he’s the same guy from last year.

Do you people have a mind of your own or just peddle whatever the main stream tells you to? Watch a game

Celtics seem committed to launch threes regardless of whether they are open or not.

Without fail lol

[mattg]

If Okoro wasn't atrocious the Cavs might have something.

All their 3’s have been wide open tonight aside from
Tatums last one which was a bit of a heat check and Holidays which he had to shoot because of the shot clock.

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Why are folks so confident in the Celtics losing this series lol. I have no confidence until one of them wins 4 games

[ItsDanger]

These guys like to take tough contested shots.

[djsunyc]

mobley not developing any type of offensive game is the difference between winning a series and not. he should make boston pay dearly w/ no porzingis but he doesn't have that bag yet.

He's just one of those guys. If they let him dribble more it would go off his foot. If they let him throw alley oops it would go over the backboard. There's always one of those guys.

He has his skills and strengths and is a plus, obviously. But his court awareness is the reason he's a role player.

I love seeing Mobley bang down low

[AussieCeltic]

I love realGM.. Cavs 7 attempts from 3, Celtics 7 attempts from 3.

“All Celtics do is shoot threes”

[Finchination33]

Live and die by the 3, jeez

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

Best Wade of all time with the 3
