12-10 at the first.

Cavs lead but Lue took a time out because Celts are having easier shots than the Cavs.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:00am On May 16, 2018
The Celtics are getting easy looks while bron is having to hit tough jumpers. He also has 19 points and the rest has how many?

I think this is brads strategy sha. I will live with whatever Lebron does and I won’t double him.

Well Lebron is going off. Let’s watch and see.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:00am On May 16, 2018
James is balling..he has 19 already.

But it is a gift and a problem at the same time.

Gift because he has hit 4 3s...1 of which was pretty difficult.

Problem because those are still difficult shots.

Brown for Celts is killing. Him and Horford.

Rozier has been a liability.


This is a game that needed Kyrie.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:01am On May 16, 2018
25-20 with about 2mins in the first.

Time out Boston.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:03am On May 16, 2018
Marcus smart travelled there.

27-22.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:05am On May 16, 2018
21 points in the first quarter.

Sheesh
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:07am On May 16, 2018
End of first.

Bron with 21.

Tatum is making mistakes.

Bron is the only player in rhythm for the Cavs.

Long long game TBH.

Celts are edging it in terms of team play and open looks but Bron is the best player on the pitch.

Cavs lead 27-23.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:11am On May 16, 2018
Put the fear of God in them. As the game progresses bring the others into the fray. Tried the reverse in the previous game and it didn't work just like it didn't against Indiana. This is the much better strategy.


Somebody please shut Jeff Van Jew face up!
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:13am On May 16, 2018
We have a better bench. We should be extending this lead. Glad to see Korver on target again.
Re: The NBA Begins by ipledge10(m): 2:18am On May 16, 2018
Jason Tatum is going crazy
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:20am On May 16, 2018
Kyle Korver producing in this one...it has helped because without him and Bron..Cavs have no offense.

That blocking foul on Oyejele was wrong.

Tatum now doing wonders.

They need Rozier in this one. (3 wise)

donlittle25:
From the little highlights I watched, seems the Celtics were closing down the three point line quickly, something raptors failed to do, and pacers did well in some games.

The games were pacers closed the theee point line efficiently, It was a struggle for the Cavs.

The key to having any shot against Lebron to me is throwing different bodies at him and letting him make those passes and Celtics closing the three point line quickly.

Any games korver gets hot, Cleveland is going to win. Korver getting hot is something the Celtics should be wary of.
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 2:21am On May 16, 2018
Like I said, I am not usually worrried about Lebron or anyone going off.... it’s always Kyle korver. He opens so much space when his shot starts falling.

Just make someone chase him around abeg.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:22am On May 16, 2018
First quarter it was Brown. Now Tatum's going off. I have to admit I underestimated these yungens. They're stepping up to the plate. Nance seems a little nervous. I need to see Kevin love also getting shots, we can't do this without him. We need the lead at the half and hopefully the last game is an indicator that we've learnt from our third quarter slumps.

Save your energy LeBron. We may need you to close this one in the fourth.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:29am On May 16, 2018
Careful Boston. Last time you heckled him after getting injured you got blown out.

Like I always say Boston has the most disgusting fans in sports.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:33am On May 16, 2018
Rozier better step up in this.

Love is doing okay..but he can be better.

Cavs lead by 9.

47-38.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:38am On May 16, 2018
Those LeBron FTs are UGLY AF!
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:41am On May 16, 2018
Some loss of concentration there towards the end of the third. LeBron still looks wobbled from that hit. Cavs lead and all things considered a good half for the Cavs.


Beware the third Quarter slump.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 2:41am On May 16, 2018
End of the half

55-48 Cavs lead.

Marcus playing Smart.

Both Marcuses TBH.

Bron is spent. Told on the arc of his FTs.

Rebounding is the difference between both teams IMHO.

Lol! He bricked his first two free throws in the first. Being spent has nothing to do with it. He can't go at it alone if he doesn't get the others involved. He'll start attacking again at the right time.

Difference is that 3 point hot hands the celtics got and the cold hands the Cavs got in the first game isn't sustainable. Both teams are back to their natural 3 point shooting potential.

The ARC was a bit short in terms of wavelength unlike it hitting the back of the rim and bouncing off like his first miss. Usually implies tired arms.

That implies tired legs. But most of the free throws he missed were short.

Okay sir.

If he tries another 3 and it airballs..we shall know.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:08am On May 16, 2018
Lol. He just threw the ball out.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:09am On May 16, 2018
Come on Celts!!!

Attack the rim
Re: The NBA Begins by Manutd19: 3:11am On May 16, 2018
Celtics not going away easily in this game. Common James
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:12am On May 16, 2018
Bad calls happen and a lot of them have gone in Boston's favour, the next game it might go in the cavs. I just don't ever want to hear anyone say the refs favour the Cavs or LeBron ever again. Lol.

And WTF is JR doing?
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:14am On May 16, 2018
Rozier finally coming to the party and guess what?

Celts lead.
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:19am On May 16, 2018
Love is registering huge buckets

77-79 in Celts favor.

I don't want to hear "he" did it all alone again.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 3:23am On May 16, 2018
This Cavs defense. Golden state is going to feast! grin
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 3:23am On May 16, 2018
End of the 3rd.

Celts lead 84-77.

Terry Rozier is now scary Terry.

He is really having impact in this game. If Celtic won this game, then Celtic in 6. I wanted to say Celtic in 5 but I don’t want to disrespect Lebron.
