I pretty much called this, but props to Brad Stevens in getting that Celtics team with that mindset where they're not shook or enamored over LeBron. That's the number one problem with the Raptors. When you have someone like Derozan that said last year "If we had LeBron we would have won", you basically already admitted to curl into a fetal position whenever you face the Cavs. Everyone, from the BS sports analysts, social media, articles, and so forth literally believed the whole narrative of LeBron was feeling out game one and he's going to take over game two and the Celtics is going to bow out and quit. The Pacers provided a blueprint but weren't as good or as discipline a team to close out their games. The Celtics took that blueprint and with a superior defense and a motivated hunger that's so far unmatched, they are cool with LeBron getting his. Brad Stevens after game one stated they EXPECTED it and they'll be prepared for it. It's not that difficult to understand in that you just deny the rest of the team in contributing, LeBron can do all that he can and this would be the end result. It's the whole reason Brad Stevens was momentarily pissed when Korver was initially getting hot, because Smart kept missing his assignment and he had to get on him or the team rather for that. 2nd half, they were all on that dude. You really have to give props to the Celtics DEFENSE. The Cavs defense, we knew is garbage, so no matter how inconsistent the Celtics are on offense, they know going in on their defense and take everybody else out in contributing...
The look on his face makes it even funnier.
