Live Thread: Celtics @ Cavs
2021-05-12Good evening CtB!
Tonight, the struggling Boston Celtics take on the Cleveland Cavaliers in what should be a competitive game. Boston comes to town on a three game losing streak, playing their second game of a back to back, and missing a ton of key players such as Jaylen Brown, Robert Williams III, Marcus Smart, and Kemba Walker. Not to be outdone, the Cavs will be out with a whole slew of players as well, although reportedly Kevin Love and Cedi Osman should be available.
Tipoff is at 8PM EDT, so sit back, relax with your favorite beverage, and GO CAVS!
Sexton ball hogs, Tatum turns the miss into an easy layup.
WHAT THE HELL REF??????? THERE WAS NO FOUL!!!!!!!!
oh no Okoro had the mismatch blew the easy layup
Coach BUCK is getting into his ear after the timeout
WHAT A PASS OKORO GREAT FINISH ALLEN!
Cool, Love is on fire, Sexton wants to ball hog.
+1, will be interesting to see how many attempts Love ends up with in this game, could probably be about half a dozen more
yup, he’s on fire and he has only 9 attempts.
LOVE IS ON FIRE!!!!!!!!! FEED THE HALL OF FAMER!!!
LMFAOOOO turnover number 6 for Sexton.
LOVE FOR THREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
GREAT DEFENSE LOVE ON TT!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALLEN??? great pass Sexton
re-sign dion waiters
no, trade him (sexton).. hit the hard reset button.. the OS is fatally flawed
might be right, this is the consequence of trying to “develop” him by playing him without regard to winning.
I believe that Sexton is just not a winning player. He COULD become one. But I doubt it. The only was it happens is if he starts getting held accoutable for poor play.
Bench his butt. Start Garland & Okoro going forward (next year).
truly a high ceiling low floor player… could be a superstar because of his athletic ability and knack for scoring, but just doesn’t get that the game is more than scoring.
WHAT WAS THAT SEXTON???? FOUR POINT SWING ON YOUR GARBAGE????
holy ugly, two garbage offensive possessions /Sexton TOs in a row
I’m losing my mind watching him, it’s basketball hell LMFAOOOOOOOO
I just love it when YB comes in and turns it over immediately. Off the tip and right there.
5 turnovers in 16 minutes… average a turnover nearly every 3 minutes he’s on the court.
Out of curiosity, just checked 2014 Kyrie Irving’s numbers, he and Sexton both averaging exactly 2.7 turnovers per game in their respective third seasons. Kyrie’s numbers came down after that, seems to be hovering around 2.4 turnovers per game thereafter
what’s funny is that his turnover rate isn’t even that bad…. his passing and defense are much more of a liability I’d say than his penchant for turnovers.
Who let Waters out of the G League?
what is Sexton doing??? another double, another silly shot
Oh no, Okoro injured his ankle.
Loving what I’m seeing from Okoro…Allen couldn’t finish, but nice play from Isaac…
Allen has to finish better than that around the rim… good pass Okoro.
TT over the back on Love no call, what are the refs doing????
tribute non-call? little TT explosion going on here, Love was pissed
Allen got HAMMERED no call.
I know us winning is bad. But I am enjoying this nonetheless. Beating the Celtics is always fun.
winning is always fun
Soon as Sexton went to the bench 8 point run by the Cavs.
the Okoro/Thomas backcourt looking good, defense improved and a few more Euro steps
Absolutely, passing, defense, decision making immediate boost.
Sexton got benched for his turnovers, 3 already.
Great pass Okoro to Allen….nice job.
GREAT PASS OKORO!!!!!!!!!! NICE FINISH ALLEN!
with Tatum unable to contain the Iceman’s inside passing game, nice to see Allen having fun and beating TT, Cleveland has the younger and more athletic Texan in that case!
THOMAS WITH THE BIG BOY MOVE TO THE HOOP!
but get the ball to Love on the mismatch next time
LOVE WITH THE BIG BOY MOVE!!!! ON TATUM NO LESS!!!!!
Tatum is an elite scorer, but I kinda hate his game other than that…
MAKE OKORO THE POINT GUARD GREAT PASS OKORO FOUND LOVE IN THE POST ON THE MISMATCH!!!!
ARE LOVE // T.T. “BATTLING ” OUT THERE AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR REB’S
TT can’t hang!!! LOVE HAS SIX ALREADY!
Love is looking locked in this game, wish Sexton could have found him 2x after the JB timeout in the post when he (Love) had the truly short Edwards on him (both times!)
100% Agree, Love is looking sharp tonight.
Sexton with the laziest defense in the world.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING SEXTON???????? LOVE HAS THE MISMATCH!!! PASS HIM THE BALL!!!!!!
WE LOVE OUR “CABIN JELLY ” —–MIGHT WATCH GAME LATER —CAVS PERFORMANCE WILL INFLUENCE MY DECISION
good timeout JB, offense sucks outside of the Love touches
only in re: 2nd quarter.
a few too many Kabangele threes, it’s like it’s Cleveland’s primary option
LMFAOOO yeah, just not enough touches to Love while this group is out there. Sexton/Thomas/Dot’s fault.
GREAT HELP DEFENSE KABENGELE!
Love post touch, immediate double, great offense… why can’t we do that more often??????????
NICE STOP AND POP SEXTON!
KABENGELE DOING WORK!
Nice look from Sexton to Love…
THERE YOU GO GREAT PASS SEXTON! LOVE IN THE POST!
more please
Sexton sucks, what the hell was that, you’re doubled, pass the ball.
Cavs defensive clinic!!! and man Boston looks absolutely dejected
A perilous quarter for The Tank…
unselfish play Dotson, but you have to shoot that open midranger.
ANDY OLD MAN GAME!!!!!!!
KABENGELE!!!! DEFENSIVE MENACE!!!
Andy V up and under?!?! Lol
unexpected surprise
SWEET PASS THOMAS!!! ANDY MIDRANGE MONEY!
Oh no tank is in danger!!!!
Okoro looking like the best player on the court
Think of him next season…
GREAT PASS THOMAS!!! OKORO GREAT CUT AND FINISH AND1!!!
Wade was fouled, but will never get that call
SEXTON TO OKORO!!!!
EUROSTEP OKORO!!!
Okoro saw the mismatch next possession, but didn’t execute a good pass.
Sexton had Allen wide open mismatch on the roll, didn’t even look to pass.
hell yeah standing ovation for TT
Sexton triggers a Stevens rage timeout
Okoro at the 2 is one of the best developments of this depleted roster…
Too bad JB couldn’t come to it of his own volition LMFAO
He was also good there earlier in the season when Sexton was out and it was he and DG
Love with some great defense on Nesmith! Too bad he couldn’t convert in the post, good look just missed.
Cavs looking like a real basketball team so far, great D Okoro! also a good steal by Love to trigger the break
great defense Okoro! got the charge on TT!
LOVE WITH THE STEAL!
Sexton with his patented blocked shot at the rim.
Nice aggressiveness Wade to draw the foul.
LMFAO nice uncalled travel ref
LOVE DEEEEEEEP!!!
nice flip shot Allen!
Fournier will probably go HAM on the Cavs…
he seems to be playing better lately.
GIVE ME ALOT OF ” CABIN JELLY ” AND …….”MORE BEER PLEASE ” —–” 21 TANK IS ON “
Update: no Cedi, just Love
