CLEVELAND CAVALIERS VS. BOSTON CELTICS GAME 1 INSTANT REACTION



CLEVELAND CAVALIERS VS. BOSTON CELTICS GAME 1 INSTANT REACTION

It’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics.

The Celtics were 12.5 point favorites in this contest.

The Cavs came out early on fire, with Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley & Isaac Okoro all finding their groove.

But Boston countered back with Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Jrue Holiday. The Celtics offensive charge scored 59 first half points and took a 10-point lead into the locker room.

Luke Kornett gave the Celtics some really good minutes off the bench in relief of Al Horford.

  1. Can JB run some type of offensive system, it feels like pick and roll iso every game in playoffs

  2. Mobley gotta get an offensive game like KG or Chris Bosh. Mitchell the only player that can score literally whenever he wants. Everybody else just catch and shoot players. DG flat out scared to go to the paint ever since his jaw got broken. Time for emoni bates to get some playing time since dean wade is out

  3. No way a Sam Merrill should be playing in a playoff game. What a joke. I would sit Morris Sr. also. His better days are long behind him. Fire JB. Should of stuck with his original rotations.

  4. This McNuggets child is a joke. He looks like a young Opie Taylor in his teens and his voice that freaking New Jersey accent send his liberal AZZ back

  5. What the hell did you guys expect? This is the Boston Celtics in a historical year. Look, respect to your squad, but reality is there is no way you guys have a chance.

  6. Any cavs fans that thought/think they actually have a chance in this series are either delusional or don't know shit about basketball. The cavs are easily the worst team left in the playoffs. There isn't a single team left that they could beat in a 7 game series, much less arguably the best team in the league this season. They simply can't score enough points to hang with the celtics and that's all to it. The game of basketball is about buckets and the cavs just don't have anyone besides Mitchell that can consistently get buckets in the playoffs.

  7. Man let's just keep It real. This team is pathetic. They do nothing well. Nothing that scares anybody. They are poorly coached. Jb and the entire staff is horrible. In game adjustments are horrible. And the team lacks leadership. I watch other games and see basketball. Idk what the cavs do.

  8. This is ridiculous. The coaching has always been atrocious but he doesn't use the bench until they're down 20 and that puts too much pressure on them. We look like a pickup team plating the Celtics. This is the playoffs, why isn't Allen sucking it up and playing. It's bullshit

  9. Mobley and Garland need to be traded for something that is real. People told me I was stupid earlier in the year when i said they needed to go. Remember how well we played without Mobley and Garland

  10. Can the Cavs pretend it's still February when Garland and Mobley weren't playing and the rest of the Cavs team was contributing, especially their bench and dominating teams like Boston?!?!?! Now it's just DM scoring and everyone else is just standing around, well except Garland….he's very busy turning over the ball and missing shots. Pathetic!!!! Bickerstaff has to go within minutes of the Cavs being eliminated by Boston in the playoffs.
