PLAYOFFS, Rnd 2, Gm 3 – Celtics (1) @ Cavaliers (1) – 8:30PM, Sat, May 11, 2024

Joe needs to do something about Mitchell.

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.

bingo. mitchell is way too comfortable. send someone in the game who is going to fight through screens like a pitbull and stay on his hip and make things difficult for him. he's doing whatever the **** he wants out there

[Ben-N1ce]

Celtics arent playing great . A couple white timely 3's in the 4th would be nice to get him back on track.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Joe needs to do something about Mitchell.

The league already chastised him for contesting shots.

[bigboi]

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

I said yes. Who said no?

A bunch of folks. I said JB for either Mitchell or Trae Young. I’ll see if I can find my post. But everyone pretty much said no

[MapleRed]

They said Tatum hasn't hit a 3 in the 2nd half of any game in the playoffs. I'd like to see that change in this game, in a big way.

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.

Why would Mitchell bounce? Him and Tatum could run the league

What human being wouldn't want Mitchell over Jaylen lol all said no...I find that impossible.

[Fierce1]

Just need White to show up and this will be a comfortable Celtics win.

This is a common occurance. White and Holiday are good defenders, but they can't stick with certain players all game.

Watching the WC games, I wonder how the Celtics will fare if the refs call the games like the other series. DAL/OKC is very intense. Wolves are playing great defense (until game 3). Indiana and NY has been a grind too. Celtics looking a bit too entitled for my liking, it's going tp catch up with them. They need someone to come in a rain on the Cav's three point parade.

[Fierce1]

Can't overreact to Mitchell.

He scored 50 against the Magic and they still lost.

As long as the Cs limit the other Cavs players production, Cs will be fine.

White doesn’t even need to show up as long as Jrue, Tatum and Brown keep up their solid games. White should be used to defensively annoy the **** out of Mitchell all game long.

[PierceFan4ever]

Brace yourselves. The 2nd half is coming

It really is just Mitchell in that half. His teammates were 2/15 IINM.

In theory, yes, but according to Games 4 and 5 against Miami and Game 1 against the Cavs, when White played great, it was always a big win for the Cs.

I love this idea, could use Brissette the same way, just to shake things up a bit, a different look

[meatball sub]

maybe mitchell keeps playing selfishly and finally stops making crazy shots

[PierceFan4ever]

Jayson **** Tatum!!!

[MapleRed]

And1 Tatum! Nice!

[Sweet Serenity]

Great start by Tatum !
