(1) Celtics vs. (4) Cavs Second Round Playoff Series Thread

[FultzNationRISE]

Mitchell is a helluva scorer, gotta give him that.

[SATAN]

I haven't watched one Boston game this entire playoffs.

They are boring. it's hard to even explain. I'm looking every now and then but not interested. Looks like they are gonna win. Everybody assumed Boston was going to the finals anyway.

The BKFC event on right now is more entertaining.

*It's Jason Tatum. I just don't want to watch him. Can't even explain it.

[Street Hunger]

Celtics lead Cavaliers 57-48 at halftime.

Tatum 18, Holiday 15, Brown 13, Hauser 6.

Mitchell 23 (6-8 on 3pt), Mobley 11, Garland 6.

Does anyone care about the Celtics?

They're so boring.

[SATAN]

Someone was yelling at Tatum telling him he'll never be Kobe.

Donovan has to put a 50 piece every game if they want even a chance to win any of these. All Celtics do is shoot 3s or spam layups. No strategy, but hey that’s what modern officiating for you.

It’s not just me then

The Celtics are boring af

Max Strus has been trash this postseason. Same reason Miami let him go. Garland has been super "meh" as well.

There were certain trolls here trying to say he was as good or better than Mitchell. Mitchell has no help outside of Mobley in that starting lineup right now.

Mitchell is better than Garland but Harland is easier to fit into a team because he's a point guard while Mitchell is a 2 with the size of a pg. I would rather have Mitchell but that does matter a little.

Good to see White come alive in the second half after the tough start shooting. He's definitely the kind of "roleplayer" I could see hitting a game-winner this time of year.

Tatum just needs to continue to trust his teammates. Don't try to beat multiple defenders off the dribble or shoot the fadeaway if there's real time on the clock. He's got the best teammates around him off any superstar, the whole starting line-up could hit a shot with the game on the line really.

I think Horford may need a few days off. Not sure how that happens with Porzingis out unfortunately.

Gotta finish this series early and hope the Pacers Knicks go 7.

Because his teammates would be cooking while he’s like 1-7 so far for the half and instead of playing within the flow of the offense or getting the ball to the hot hand and spacing for him he insists on iso sizeup hesi stepback 3’s and stagnating their offense. It’s crazy cringe. C’s are so much better than the Heat and Cavs they get away with it, but if they want to win against a west team they need to fix that, or Tatum needs to be Devin Booker against Denver 2023 hot for an entire series.

He's also averaging 10 rebounds and 5.5 assists in the playoffs. He does pass and he is a strong contributor in every facet of the game. He's been guilty of some bad shot selection but he's still a massive positive overall.
