We're still in it even with Lebron's ridiculous quarter. Just gotta keep executing and playing good basketball. We're sticking to our gameplan, and that's kept us right there with the Cavs. |

We've got to tighten up on defense. They're still shooting a high percentage.

Plain and simple, we've got to start making shots. Can't win like this.

Cavs getting all the calls. I've read that the refs who are officiating tonight's game have officiated Lebron's last X amount of games, and the Cavs have won a large amount of those games.
Kinda like how Tony Brothers helps us lose games, these refs help CLE win games. Maybe that's why the free throw disparity?

Offense will not be a problem next year, when we get back Kyrie and Hayward.

I feel like this game should be tied at the half. Cavs had some lucky bounces (like James's front-rim 3 that went in) and we had a bunch of shots roll off the rim.
TR3 needs to be more aggressive. He's passing up open shots, and he's always better when he just lets it fly.
Other than that, keep them off the offensive glass and I think we win.

Great 3rd qtr! TR came alive and James wasn't nearly as aggressive as he was to start the game.
I think we need to push the ball every chance we get. Use our speed and give them no rest.

With one exception ( a 3 attempt of course) Smart is playing exactly the way I want him to. Great, high percentage passes leading to layups and dunks, as well as his usual disruptive D.

Look, I don’t know what’s going to happen this playoff. But this is TREMENDOUS experience for Tatum, Jaylen, and Rozier!!

Spoke too soon. Up 11 and a chance to extend even further and Smart hucks up 2 bad shots in a row.
Then he makes a great steal.
IHMS. ILMS.

That thing by JR and Smart is a great example of what is pathetic about this league. I hope the Celts start just being disrespectful to the Cavs because they don't deserve respect. Some teams play like men and some play like punks and the Cavs are punks.

Who knows how far it will go, but right now we're seeing something really remarkable. We've seen better Celtic teams, but I don't know I've ever seen a Celtic team I like and respect more.
Brad is so good about fixing things at the half. The camera was showing Korver with about 3 minutes left and us up double digits, and I realized he'd been basically invisible in the second half after burning us in the first.

Great win and we are half way to the Finals!
I would love a sweep, but I don't think the nba allow that to happen. Never the less I will be ecstatic by winning it at home in 5.

Great win. The series is not over yet, however L James/K Love bring their A game, and still fall well short. This team is fearless.

Great win. The series is not over yet, however L James/K Love bring their A game, and still fall well short. This team is fearless. My thoughts exactly, maybe their role players play better in Cleveland, but I am not sure how much more they can realistically expect from LeBron and Love. Yet we still win by 13. And looking at the box score none of our guys did anything over their heads, we can certainly duplicate our productivity tonight. If they couldn't win tonight, not sure how they beat us in Boston, unless LeBron goes for 60. |
