Playoff Live Thread (Game 2): Cavs @ Celtics
2024-05-09Good evening, Cavs fans! Cleveland takes on Boston again tonight without Ty Jerome. He joins CPJ, Dean Wade, and Jarrett Allen on the injured list for Game 2. Boston is still missing Kristaps Porzingis, and the goal tonight will be for the Cavs to score 100 points in a road playoff playoff game (credit: Jackson Flickinger). This has never happened under JB Bickerstaff. Should be interesting. Go Cavs!
smooth shot by Mitchell.
Keep the pressure on.
Keep attacking the rack. But under control. Last 2 by Mitchell have been perfect.
Could we just end the game now?
I know right..
This is great!
Clear over the back foul on Horford
Lol Horford 🤡
Carry us homw 🕷️
Levert just stop…
Spidey sense is tingling!
I dislike Pritchard.
Got a 2nd shot.
You are in good company
SPIDA!!!!!!!!!!!
The bank is open.
JB with the ATO
Cavs 7-10 3PT, Boston 0-8 in the quarter…
DG & Okoro & Mobes sat a while to end the 3rd. Though up 12, you might wanna buy a few minutes for Mobley if you can.
TT owns Al.
Got 5 good minutes from TT. So huge. Need one more bench guy to give us a productive stretch and I think we got this one. Finally seeing a true team performance. So refreshing. Now JB please don’t be dumb enough to play 4 of our worst guys at once. Get the W.
On the replay, I loved Morris’ look of disbelief when DM made that shot.
How the team looks so much better when we actually make shots..
Up 12! A real shot here.
All those fouls might have helped Mitchell rest.
Abondon the first half rotation. Starting 5 + Caris & TT. Maybe Morris for a smidge.
Holy shit
PLS BROS
The bench to start the 4th.. dont screw this up..
Just no Niang please. And put Mobley back in with the bench unit.
Here he comes
Just need to finish them off!
Whooooiiiii… nastyyyyyy!!!
SPIDA!!! LFG!!!!
F’ yeah!
Spida buzzer beater!
Great quarter!
TT with some nice minutes
Thompson better than Niang
He can defend & rebound.
Spida buzzer beater!
Smart Caris. Poke the ball directly to a huddle of Celtics.
Bad shot by Caris..
Mitchell with 13 pts this quarter.
Good hustle..
Don’t f&$k with me – Cavs are up?!?!
Cavs 6-8 from 3 and Boston 0-7 in this quarter
🕷️ 3!
Make your FTs, Spida.
TT playing like butt
Can still get them o-rebounds though
oh wow Caris makes a jump shot..
Lazy D after the FT.
TT took the ball and their lunch money, great post D.
I dislike Pritchard
Close the quarter!
Okoro, take the open layup for God’s sake.
Mobley with a real dumb play there for his 4th.
3rd & 4th on consecutive trips vs Kornet.
JB should’ve challenged that previous Mobley foul.
Shit! Mobes with #4
Mobley, no!!
Crapppp Mobes.
BS call against Mobley! Travel on Kornet!
DG3!!!!
Kornet, Hauser, & Pritchard in. A chance to expand it.
Damn, up 9.
3 point flurry (with 1 DM heat check airball). DG dropped a nice dime to Okoro. Mobes hits a jumper after getting away with a travel.
I am getting dangerously close to thinking we have a shot, here.
I’m too cynical to get my hopes it. But it’s great to see them playing not scared of the moment. Finally playing like they belong.
Nice response to the Boston push just now.
Playing great so far. Keep it up!
Nice play DG. Nice cut Okoro.
Horford coming back to Earth.
White, too.
DG and 🕷️ coming alive this quarter
And another and 1. FFS. Foul or don’t.
Awful DG possession.
Cannot give them and-1s.
That drives me nuts
Mobley got away with one there. I like it.
I think it was a good no call
Just surprising, in Boston no less.
Yep.
Boston: 46 3PA in Game 1.. so far, only 18 attempts.
🕷️ to Mobley!
Can we just play a six man rotation the rest of the way? Having to play some combo of TT, Niang, Morris, and Merrill actual minutes isn’t working. Just need a couple of them to give us 5 good minutes and we could win this one!
Good start to the 3rd!
Strus throwing bricks from the 3 point line.
He needs to try and get more open
There we go. Get the guards going
🕷️
DG and DM wake up and give it to these guys challenge.
Doing a better job feeding Evan and Ev doing a slightly better job holding the ball and not record scratching
That is a good half for us. Even.
Mitchell only has 6. We only made 3 triples (3/10). We did not do something unsustainably funky to stay even.
Mobes has 15. LeVert 12. Okoro 8. On 14/23 FGs.
Garland & Mitchell have 11 points combined. 6 dimes (5 by Mitchell) and 1 TO (Garland).
We are in it. Spida got 5 mins of rest..
need to keep attacking downhill. I don’t mind not generating a bunch of 3s
On pace for 100+ points! *ducks*
