Best Jrue has shot in a long time too. Firing on most cylinders. When we get KPor back....wow.

When Tatum isn’t playing well offensively, it affects the rest of his game. He complains to the refs, doesn’t get back on defense, picks up frustration fouls and the like. What game are you watching? He’s leading the team in rebounds, assists and blocks. Affects the rest of his game? He’s taken too many pull up 3s tonight. Other than that he’s controlling the game. I don’t get how people haven’t seen how good he’s been when his shots aren’t falling.

Tatum took a step inside the 3-point circle and a 18 footer bounced around the rim and in. Wish he would do that more often honestly when he is off from 3-point range.

I’m going to miss Kornet
Add: good for him for working his butt off and improving so much he’s going to get a nice pay day.

I'm still about behind watching the game, but the TNT announcer is getting really annoying with repeatedly saying,"Big basket", by Cleveland when that basket is keeping them only within 11 or 12, unless his definition of big basket is preventing got blown off the floor. What is encouraging is that the Celt have not played well yet feel like they have had control of the game the entire time, and leading by 10 to 15 most of the game. This includes Tatum's bad night too.

Let Mitchell have his 33 - no one else answered the bell. This is how we win this series quickly.

Not sure why him or the coaching staff hasn’t adjusted that part of his game.

Can you imagine if Donovan Mitchell didn’t go off.

That was about an easy of a win as they’re going to get in this run. Cleveland was probably tired and they flat out don’t have the size to match the Celtics. Nice to see the Cs play well across every quarter. Get The Porzingod healthy and let’s chip!

If that Myles Turner screen was actually illegal as the two minute report alleges, then I am 100% sure that Bam Adebayo has never set a legal screen in his career. And on that same note, I think a stricter approach to calling screening fouls would alleviate a lot of the "offense is too easy in the NBA" discourse as it would help keep teams out of rotation on a more consistent basis. All this to say, I hope Bam gets called for 6 offensive fouls a game next year.

I don't watch NBA but a few times a year but when I do one of the things that strikes me most is that nobody ever seems to get set on screens. It's leaking down into the college game too but at least they call them every so often.

The Pacers submitted 78 missed calls to the NBA after their 2 losses… what a loser mentality.

Celts 35% Clev. 59% sums it up so far.

Celts being careless on offense, leading to some loose D. Lots to tighten up in the second half.
Trademark Jaylen lost handle end 2Q.

First time I think KP has been really missed since his injury. Cavs have been getting to the basket and getting lots of paint buckets. Clev. are desperately trying to limit the 3s, so got to get good 2s and hit a higher percentage of them.

This Boston team should be physically punishing Cleveland on both sides of the ball. But 5 years of soft close outs and shooting variance shrug offs tell a different story.
