That is so embarrassing Celtics keep losing game 2 getting blownout at home and struggling on defense and struggling on shooting 3’s so fucking painful and ugly

Can we not go up 2-0 in a series when the first 2 games are at home!!! Our defense was awful, like in game 2 against Miami!! Remember the mystique of the old Boston Garden?!! U can't expect teams to just fold all the time!

Zero Mention that Cavs were missing Jarrett Allen who is a much MUCH bigger loss for the Cavs than Zingis is for the Celts, Ask anyone who watches Cavs and Celtics - They will confirm this.

The Celtics only have one way to play, shoot and make more 3's. When they miss keep shooting 3's. it will get you the best record in the league and beat 95% of the teams. However that 5% team it will not work. That is why I strongly believe this team is destined to lose in the ECF or Finals. Because they fail to adjust, this is on the Head coach for never telling the team to stop taking 3s and put pressure in the paint

@diosdadobaniaga7741 13 күн бұрын

Agreed..joe is the most pathetic and dumbest coach for letting his players to keep shooting 3 even if they r not falling..instead of going inside the paint. Boston will never advances in the finals if this the way they will always play..no killer mentality and no urgency..no hard-nose defense..they have all the tools to win a chip but the coach keeping them out bcoz of his terrible coaching

Mazzulla need to make better adjustments, 3's not falling then run some plays to get points. The Celtics seems like they are in auto pilot, they look great in the first 5 minutes of the game, but they didn't match cavs energy.

@normang3444 13 күн бұрын

Cleveland won their season after game 7 vs. Orlando. Cleveland has no pressure to win this series. No worries. Each game is a bonus for their team. Even if Mitchell gets traded after the season the team will get more than what they gave up to get him. Boston has all the pressure, Cleveland has none. No matter how talented Boston is, they are not perfect. Boston is in BIG trouble going to Cleveland this weekend (they may lose both games in Cleveland). Cleveland can lose every game from here out ... with no worries. Thats why Cleveland has a great chance to upset Boston and move on. They have the talent to do so, and a super star to lead them there. Cleveland is 4-3 (now 5-3) vs Boston over the past 2 years. Boston doesn't scare them very much. They chose to go the Orlando then Boston playoff bracket. Cleveland can beat Boston and maybe should be favored to win this series now that they beat Boston on Boston's home court? The team Cleveland fears is the Knicks, not Boston.

@pepesilvia3573 11 күн бұрын

As a Cavs fan everything about what you said is 💯. Great insight. Cavs aren’t intimidated by Boston. They match up well with them the past 2 years. The team the Cavs dont wanna see are the Knicks. That being said, i think the Celtics are still the better team and can easily win this in 5 or 6 if they start making 3s but Cavs are playing with house money now. If they get Jarrett Allen and Dean Wade back, and Porzingis remains out then that can pose a big issue with Boston.
