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

[HoopsterJones]

Great execution by the Celtics.
Cavs came out flat and really put themselves in a big hole.

[djsunyc]

welp that escalated quickly.

[AussieCeltic]

Yeah cuz the teammates are exactly the same

People like you are strange.

What more do you want Tatum to do bro? 18/7/3 with great defense in a half is good for any superstar in NBA history.

Playing within his system, playing team ball and his team is up 9.

Keep hating.

I think the issue has been his 2nd halves. Bob Myers just said he averages 14 in the first half, 7 in the 2nd and hasn't hit a 3 in the second half in these playoffs.

Hasn’t really been needed to be honest. Celtics are winning by an average margin of 22. Sure they’ve lost 2 games but in the 3 point era, no team is going to sweep their way through the playoffs anymore. I’ll start caring when the Celtics are down in a series.

Anytime someone drives there's multiple celtics going to contest. They know nobody is going to hit a shot tonight

If White gets hot, the game is over.

Lol the mic'd in section.
Mitchell: if I make a pass you better make that.

Been saying that all season

I thought he said if he made a better pass you make that meaning it's his fault for the guy missing lol

[durden_tyler]

Those Game 2 losses are really for the Celtics, they need those beatdown defeats just to remind them that while these East teams are not title contenders they still have to play their A game if they want to beat those teams. They do relax at times but when they are on and in focus, they are perhaps the best team in the league.

Runni g cut to the basket plays for Struss is sad.

[ITYSL]

I'm always surprised by how physically strong Strus is. He's just solid. Can move defenders on offense, like how he just knocked down White the last play, even if he didn't score. And how he can be pretty difficult to move on defense. He's played some solid defense these playoffs against players like Banchero and Tatum.

Oh **** I misunderstood it then.

[AussieCeltic]

11-0 to start the second half

[Zeno]

Damn, this is a tough game for Odorous.

[SportsGuru08]

Wow, Cavs falling apart at both ends.

[PierceFan4ever]

Jayson Tatum has been absolutely insane defensively and rebounding

[AussieCeltic]

11-0 to start the second half

14-0

[durden_tyler]

There really isn't anyone here but Mitchell who can make any shot inside or outside. Sucks but looking like a run away game now

Among the top scorers in the league he’s the one who has the Iverson vibes. At times mindless chucking. Difference with Iverson is that he’s not a leader or charismatic figure like Iverson. It’s be a bad idea to keep him, teammates are just not liking his style of play.

B-b-b-but Mitchell has 2 more points than him. He’s a real superstar and Tatum is Tobias Harris

[djsunyc]

good news is that if cavs win game 4, it's back to 0-0.

[SerialChiller]

Well this is over the Cavs can't even make a layup and anyone outside of Mitchell can't score.

[Iwasawitness]

Hey Dean Wade you got another 20 point outburst in you?
