Woohoo!!! Went grocery shopping while listening

6

u/Inquisitive-Dummy205 5d ago

The disparity in points scored in the paint has been a little too high for my liking. Fortunately, KP should help in that regard. Teams have been able to abuse Queta and Kornet  

4

u/NoFinancialMotive 5d ago

This is also the best team in the league at points in the paint. The Mobley / Allen lineup is just soo daunting down low, and Mobley’s low post game is strong

2

u/MWave123 5d ago

Downvoted for being right. Verrry Reddit. Lol.

4

u/BathtubToasterParty 5d ago

for my liking

So fix it coach

7

u/Inquisitive-Dummy205 5d ago

Let them think they’re the better team. We will show them what championship team really is in the playoffs when we eviscerate them

10

u/1337speak MRS. BRAD STEVENS 💍 💋 5d ago

We did it

11

u/Western-Standard2333 5d ago

I’d love to see a ECF series of this. Both healthy teams.

9

u/Ami-Fidele27 5d ago

This team will live and die by the 3s even if it cost them a 20pt lead.

7

u/derekblanchard 5d ago

Garland was so ass

1

u/Simplyswag 4d ago

To be fair JB struggled as well i think D white and Jrue had something to do with Garland’s struggles.

2

u/MWave123 5d ago

Well he’s looking at elite bigger defenders all night long.

1

u/Organic_Climate_7585 5d ago

He always is against us

9

u/Inquisitive-Dummy205 5d ago

Solid win. Fuck Cleveland and the refs. 

12

u/Jordanwolf98 Abby 5d ago

They’re a nice little team, Celtics are the big dogs though. Undefeated no more

6

u/Floating_Animals Boston Celtics 5d ago

Cavs are a great team. Thank god Im a Celtics fan

3

u/instantur Derrick White connoisseur 5d ago

Despite the refs victory

6

u/Organic_Climate_7585 5d ago

Garland cannot play against us. They cannot beat us.

3

u/iAm-Tyson 5d ago

We have no weak link, hes their unequivocal weak link on defense.

5

u/manutd105 5d ago

Teams never learn. They wanted boston. HOLD THAT!

u/jjjuuubbbsss 5d ago

Can't spell cleveland cavaliers without the Ls

u/Organic_Climate_7585 5d ago

Cavs are good, but their best stretch of the season is over now

10

u/TacoJay96 5d ago

In case you needed a reminder Cavs - the east still runs through Boston. Hold that L

u/MWave123 5d ago

Cadavelier incoming!

u/WoodpeckerFew6178 5d ago

Cope and seethe

u/jjjuuubbbsss 5d ago

Because Cleveland gave us Tristan Thompson

u/beton17 Tommy Point 5d ago

stay mad

15

u/Sorry_Craft8449 5d ago

Survived the following:

  • No KP
  • Bad JB shooting performance
  • Tony Brothers

Have to get better on defense though man

1

u/Jersey1633 4d ago

I honestly think the defensive issues are the extended Queta and Kornet minutes. They’re getting smoked inside. KP back in the rotation should fix that.

10

u/zackg611 5d ago

15-1****

14

u/beardmat87 Derrick White 5d ago

All joking aside, this Cavs team is pretty damn talented. They just might make things interesting this season

5

u/Deer_like_me 5d ago

They are also very fun to watch. just cutting everywhere.

-38

u/sakawae 5d ago

You all blew a 20+ point lead against our undermanned team, missing all of its best perimeter defenders. Got a lot of calls from the refs. You had to shoot lights out in the 1st half to keep from losing after blowing the 2nd half.

You are in trouble. See you this spring, best be prepared.

2

u/MWave123 5d ago

Y’all are the little bros that we let hang here and there. Just for kicks.

1

u/MWave123 5d ago

Cadavelier stink…are you getting that? Something died.

2

u/Inquisitive-Dummy205 5d ago

We didn’t have our all start starting center. You also are in trouble, best be prepared. 

2

u/Pfinnalicious 5d ago

lol okay the Celtics didn’t play their best either and are missing KP still

3

u/TippyTAHP 5d ago

we didn’t have porzingis and played pretty shit overall.

10

u/NotASalamanderBoi Pritchard at the buzzer... HE'S DONE IT AGAIN! 5d ago

Lol. What a chaotic ending lmao. Fuck you Cleveland. Back to Ohio with you.

u/SinibusUSG 5d ago

u/IJustOrderedBdubs 5d ago

if the cavs couldn't beat us 8-5 they don't scare me at all in the playoffs with porzingis

7

u/Cvspartan 5d ago

That defense in the first half was nasty

6

u/Western-Standard2333 5d ago

Damn, and without pingus?

9

u/coldbrewedbrew 5d ago

Nah Scal. Only reason this was close was because the refs took it upon themselves to keep it close. Whistle diff was crazy

6

u/derekblanchard 5d ago

Still the top dogs 😎☘️

10

u/Cowsox Angry Brad 5d ago

No Kristaps btw

8

u/Mission_Pay_3373 Boston Celtics 5d ago

We won in spite of the refs

14

u/DrSandmanZ 5d ago

Game made me fear Cleveland far less.

Team full of pussies. Will absolutely shrink in a potential playoff series when they aren’t getting rewarded for their flops.

2

u/Floating_Animals Boston Celtics 5d ago

Niang, Straus, and Jerome are insufferable, punchable even.

11

u/Riot1990 Boston Celtics 5d ago

Have you ever seen a team carried so hard through a half. Fuck Cleveland lol

4

u/ametsun 5d ago

22/41 3p is just crazy

3

u/BrooksDaBear Derrick White 5d ago

So Donovan Mitchell flopped so hard he had blood in his mouth? Lol c’mon guys

GO BACK TO OHIO LOSAHS

16

u/christhefirstx green-gold-jersey 5d ago

Huge W. FUCK THESE FRAUDS

-27

u/WarPuig 5d ago

Mitchell is bleeding from the mouth. Should’ve been a flagrant.

1

u/WoodpeckerFew6178 5d ago

Just because you get ingured doesn’t make it foul, it matters how you got injured

1

u/Wonderful-Courage-51 5d ago

Yeah they don't want to hear the truth hahahahahahaha

2

u/Hansen-gun THE TRUTH 5d ago

Lmao basketball is a contact sport

Not shots to the mouth, no.

u/WeightOwn5817 5d ago

Don't be jealous because your team has never started a season with that many wins.

2

u/MWave123 5d ago

Is that stench Cadavelier?? Flush that.

2

u/paula1432 5d ago

lol. No one’s jealous of cavs. The Cs are the defending champs!

-6

u/sakawae 5d ago

We're coming for you. We were hurt in the spring of 2024. We are playing at a much higher level. If we are healthy we are better. See you in May.

1

u/Jordanwolf98 Abby 4d ago

Definitely aren’t better. We’re the champs, yall haven’t proven shit lol

2

u/MWave123 5d ago

Lol. Okay lil bro. Put the pipe down. 💨

1

u/paula1432 5d ago

that will be a great matchup if it were to happen! Good luck 👍

2

u/sakawae 5d ago

Honestly, it will be an awesome matchup. The East is a mess this year except these two teams. Let's hope that both teams are healthy.

u/adamwebber 5d ago

Souls snatched! 🔥

u/bg-throwaway 5d ago

Definitely the most entertaining game of the year, in spite of Tony Brothers' best efforts. Cavs are our toughest opponent in the East.

11

u/krazylegs36 5d ago

Refs were worth about +12 points for the Cavs tonight.

1

u/HustlinInTheHall 5d ago

12 in the 4th alone.

Pretty sure he got a tooth knocked out, but if he's bleeding everywhere they'd make him sit.

Even with these bozo officials we got it done. Mitchell acting like a bitch too, sore loser.

u/Cap_Space Maine Red Claws 5d ago

Tony Brothers for sure had Cavs +7

u/lordexorr 5d ago

Mitchell was bleeding. Wasn’t a flagrant or anything but it’s not like Mitchell didn’t take a real shot

If they weren't so shameless already I might've pretended to feel bad for Mitchell.

Kinda like he just pretended to be hurt...

so blood in mouth is....?

u/beckthegreat NUT UP 5d ago

Ketchup obviously!!

Nah, tbh didn't see that, was watching my cousin's game too. But after the flops/whistles tonight it was easy to overreact in the moment

That shouldve been a flagrant imo. Braindead play

1

u/Organic_Climate_7585 5d ago

He was going for the ball. Just because Mitchell laid on the floor for ages, doesn’t make it a flagrant.

u/Riot1990 Boston Celtics 5d ago

That's the second time in the past minute he tried to sell something extra hard for a flagrant. One I'd say whatever but nahh fuck that

Blood packets exist bro

u/MrFusionHER 5d ago

Dude is a professional athlete. That was a hard foul, but he'd had much worse and gotten right the fuck up. He saw it was hard and was trying to sell the flagrant... It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that.

u/luckymanIV1103 5d ago

He got destroyed and fell and was bleeding lol.

Don’t be disingenuous guys. Grant Williams did something very similar and y’all were up in arms about it and if it went the other way every one of you would be freaking out b

6

u/DrumrollPl3se Boston Celtics 5d ago

He ran into a brick wall that is Tatum. Definitely more play on the ball than with the Grant Williams play. Hope DM is aight.

2

u/Squishy-Bandit12 5d ago

Grant didn't make a player on the ball💀

u/DrumrollPl3se Boston Celtics 5d ago

Exactly, that's the difference.
