Perhaps that Cleveland plays their best basketball with 1 of their bigs and 1 of their guards, making two players redundant.

If the Cavs are playing their best basketball without their best big and best guard, than that is a very weird constructed team.

Celtics bigs are so useless without Porzingis. Not winning crap without him

These Celtics are not impressive at all.

These Celtics are supposed to be championship contenders?

Damn, I didn't realize Okoro was 1-8 in the ball game.

That.....will lose you any and all credibility in this forum

Tatum got a T because he bitched at the ref for not giving him the and 1 when he got smacked in the damn face on a layup

But ya bro, Celtics got the whistle.

Thank you. We weren't winning this series either way so it is what it is. I just want more experience for Mobley and Garland but it feels like the last few games finally hardened them against playoff nerves or whatever was getting to them

I’m not interested in reading your garbage opinion about him 600 times

Forget my hate for Porzingis, why do you hate Jaylen Brown? He's been your best player at various times, and you put this journeyman injury prone player over him? That's messed up.

Again, I don’t care what you say because I’ve been reading your boring rubbish crap about Porzingis for months

And I've already been right he's already both came up small and been injured against the Heat I predicted one or the other he provided both. He's going to do it again and I'm going to laugh. :lol:

Celtics with no KP as well.

Average winning margin of 21 points so far.

Lost 2 games in the 3 point era where a team can get hot and beat anyone.

Sure I’d love for them to sweep through the playoffs but it’s just not happening.

Porzingis is a No. 3. Butler and Mitchell are their team's No. 1. False equivalence

Yeh and they won 4-1 by an average margin of 22 points haha.

They’re up 2-1 with Mitchell playing and KP out.

The only 2 games they’ve lost have been incredibly hot shooting nights.

The Heat tied for 4th most threes in a playoff game and Cavs shot 46% in their win.

Injuries happen, championship teams also lose games to inferior ones since the beginning of the NBA.

People have the worst takes on here it’s unbelievable. Just like everyone was writing Denver off after 2 losses. Dumb

Minnesota isn't missing their best player. False equivalence.

Wow, this guy just put Porzingis as more important than Brown? I can't wait to the Finals so I can bring this quote back up when Porzingis comes up small. He choked with the Mavs in 2021 against Clippers and he's going to do it again. He already did in 2 games out of 4 before he got hurt. The only way he doesn't come up small is if he gets hurt again.

We get it you hate Porzingis.

He needs to convince himself that Boston really is THAT good, and the only way to do that after watching the C's in round 2 is to believe that the Zinger is anything other than a really nice role player. Instead Boston is a good team, but not dominant. They certainly aren't that 64-win team they thought they were in the regular season.

The idea of breaking up the core 4 is a neverending war with our fanbase. And our GM doesn't seem to understand it either.

Tatum is the Kobe of Westbrook's

Horrible shot selection and athletic

Not absurd at all. The talent disparity is laughable. You can shut down the entire starting unit, and the bench should win by 15 points.

What the actual **** are you talking about

Calm down and enjoy it. Relax. I articulated my take quite clearly.

If you think the Celtics garbage bench should be blowing out this Cavs team then holy **** ****

All that matters is we win, not sure why people are crying in here.

No difference with Nuggets losing both games at home in a blowout or same with T'Wolves losing both games at home. These playoffs have just been weird to me.

Well, they were better when the 1 big ang 1 guard were Mitchell and Allen. But yes, roster construction there is an issue. Too much overlap, 2+2 = 3.

Who wins and goes to the ECFs?
