Levert hasn't been much of a factor in this series but he's had some big games vs Boston in the past. With no Mitchell I expect him to be aggressive.

injuries have def played a huge part this playoffs
I wonder if it has anything to do with the 65 game rule this season

Yea Cleveland is missing Allen and Mitchell but the real reason they are going to lose is these insane shirts. Someone literally just printed a word document.

Of course it's all the teams I favor in the semis that are getting hit with injuries. Knicks, Cavs, Mavs.

When did Mitchell get hurt last game? Can’t remember a moment where he seemed hurt or maybe I’m forgetting something

He’s been having injury issues for quite a bit.

Everytime he’s been on the bench they have had him on the bike to keep his calf loose

These guys make $50+ million a year, asking them to play in 80% of the games shouldn’t be a tough ask.

Ya. We all have eyes bud.

You don't have the ability to be impartial and because you don't support you takes with evidence you find your self at odds with people often.
But yoooo, you think think-tank is spelled thinktank
Your take that Mitchell is better than Tatum ain't looking too hot.

Their salary is about to skyrocket once more too. Tatum until this year was playing 82 games a year.
Cavs don't have the guns and that's something apparently the cavs fans refuse to accept.

They were going to win this series anyway, honestly I’m kind of disappointed DM is not playing. This game shouldn’t be close but we’ll see.

I expect this game to be a blowout in Boston's favor, but maybe I'll be surprised.

The Celtics are renowned for playing down to their opponent especially with injuries to key players.
