Everybody Wanna Be a Demon Til They Get Chipped by Two Jays - (1) Celtics vs. (4) Cavs Round 2

[WesCrook]

I'm currently at the Marriott in Downtown Miami.

I asked the clerk earlier during check-in who was the last famous person you saw come in here.

She said: "The Boston Celtics were here. They were also in the dining area and got into a fight.....with each other"

I'm not making this up.

The problem ain’t his skills, it’s his mentality. Today is a responding to criticism game—this isn’t who he is. He will always be a role player until he develops some consistent aggression.

A bit difficult to do that under this Cleveland iteration and coaching, but that's a story for a different day.

Damn Malika Andrews need to eat a couple cheeseburgers or something.

Missed the first Q but it seems like Cleveland is trying to limit Boston three point attempts which is keeping them in the game but I’m doubtful they can sustain it after some Boston halftime adjustments. Plus Cleveland can’t score as efficiently as they’ll need to.

Boy do I have a surprise about Joe Mazzulla for you

 

[Guess Who]

Stop it

Just giving my take. He’s frustrating to watch for me. I wish he’d do more with his tools.

Cavshave finally figured out Celtics soft asf in the paint. They're dominating the paint on both sides of the ball and running Boston off 3 points line. That's their recipe for winning this series.

JB Bickerstaff made a chess move on changing how the Cavs defend the Celtics 3 point shots

Your move Joe Mazzulla

Hahaha maybe I have more faith than you. I’ve seen this playbook before—teams keep Boston away from the arc in the first half but then things change in the third Q.

Refs will make sure he gets his 25-30 points though

He's gotten at least 4 fts off bogus calls

Charles Lee is still on the Celtics staff for the remainder of the playoffs, God willing lol

Facts, cant even breathe on that mafukka in the paint

Fair enough but this is how he was in college too when he was the clear cut guy. I hope I’m wrong. He has the tools to be great.

Takes series/moments like this for some young players to respond. Should focus on the capabilities to respond over the frequency. He's the definition of a 'winning' type player

And he attacks the paint soft asf, baiting for calls. Just makes it that much more obvious how bogus the calls are.

I agree he’s a winning type player. But will he do that as a role player or as a threat. That’s what I wonder about.
