Game Thread – Celtics @ Cavaliers – Sun. 6:00PM, Dec. 1, 2024

It’s a real surprise that Drew Peterson played 12 first half minutes against the #1 team (record wise) in the conference. Tillman, Queta, Walsh, Springer & Scheierman logged *0* minutes … Coach Mazzulla might have played a hunch or the front office could have sent down a suggestion such as if trades could be on the horizon when restrictions come off players on December 15…

Might be nothing, might be Joe just called Drew’s number … but it’s pretty interesting decision to go with Peterson IMO

There is definitely a pro and a con to this which I will get into after the game.

If your two best players are small guards it’s usually not a good recipe for the playoffs. Reminds me of the Blazers with Lillard and CJ

Joe can't help himself. Really likes his JT + Exciting Whites lineup.

Neems will get plenty of minutes tomorrow

I literally think how's it?May be the single most underrated defensive player in the NBA.He really doesn't go for fakes and stays on front of every.One.

[ConstableGeneva]

Refs let themselves get bullied by Atkinson. That's just weak.

[Parliament10]

B.S.!!!!

That's NOT an Offensive on Pritchard.

tough. that might be the right call

True.

[playa-hater]

I guess working an official can pay off..

[King Of The 4th]

Cavs are pulling from the Miami playbook, foul excessively and hope the refs don't call all of them

[VeryMuchWoke]

These refs are horrible. That's an absurd challenge though.

[ConstableGeneva]

We've been losing challenges A LOT this season.

EDIT: OOH, they called the trip.

[Celts17Pride]

PP pushed off but so do 99.9% of all NBA players

Lost a lot of respect for Kenny Atkinson tbh.

Just did a total Nick Nurse whinge plead to the
Refs and it worked.

[islandkid12]

I stand corrected lol

[playa-hater]
