Tatum looks a lot better.
Jrue looks great.
Horford needs to be sent to nursing home.

He tried to ISO Mobley out on the perimeter but there's something clearly off with his handles. Even less crisp than usual.
Adrenalin had him playing through the elbow issue, but hopefully it doesn't stiffen up in the 2nd half. He was clearly dribbling more with his left since he had the right elbow worked on.

That Tatum 3 was the most predictable thing humanly possible. Hope someone won a lot of money on that.

Celtics are having a lot of trouble with the Cavs speed. The pace of the game is too quick for guys on this team who really wanna half ass their half court game.
Luckily we just have more talent.

Jrue was indeed, but he passed up a wide open corner three late in the half that he should have taken.

Excellent half from JT, JB and Jrue. Got to get DWhite going. Defense will win this game in the 2nd half

I told y’all we should be traded Brown for Mitchell. And all of yall said no. That trade would’ve went through last year as well. Celtics weakness is still lack of dribble penetration and ball handling

Cavs' scoring has been awful if you exclude their top two guys. Not really true for the Celtics.

9 point lead going into half I’ll take it. Jrue needs to stay involved in the 2nd half.

Don’t care about the Tatum missed three. I’ll take this aggression from him any day. This is by far his best half these playoffs. About damn time he should stop sitting in the corner and let DWhite shoot bricks

In games against players like this, I think giving White and Holiday just a few minutes rest in the half. Why not put Jaden Springer on him for a spell, some fresh legs to get in Mitchell's grill, try to wear on him a bit. This was the reason Brad got Springer, right. Just a few minutes.

Jrue should let those corner 3s fly next half. Keep going to him, he’s feeling it

Mitchell would have bounced the first chance he got. Hell the only reason Brown stayed is because the Celtics were able to make him the highest paid player in the game. If he doesn't make All NBA, we're talking about Jaylen playing for the Hawks or Heat right now.

Pritchard was getting abused on defense, either directly or via the switches would get onto mobley and thats when the cavs guards would drive. Something to watch
