  1. Interitus_-

    11 TO GO. Side note, loved the Luke minutes tonight. Holding down the fort with KP out

  2. VortexCow

    Viral quote Jaylen “Ain’t no friends in the playoffs” Brown has arrived

  3. JAYLEN BROWN. LUKE KORNET. DERRICK *FUCKING* WHITE. The good vibes keep on rolling, 1-0 and 4 straight wins

  4. BradWonder

    Ignoring the efficiency, Jayson dropped an ’08 KG statline tonight.

    18 points w/o 3s, 11 boards, 5 assists to 1 turnover, and 3 blocks

  5. MrCleanDrawers

    5-0 when I wear dark green over a Derrick White jersey! 

    Forget The Drew Carey Show, it was The Jaylen Brown Show for Cleveland! 

    And all the little chicks with the crimson lips said BOSTON ROCKS! BOSTON ROCKS! 

    11 to go!

  6. Tdavis002

    I love when JB imposes his will early in games. It really helps set the tone for us. Let’s wrap this up in 4 and get Tatum’s shooting back in the groove!

  7. It’s one game, but it really looked kind of how a lot of people thought – we are just a much better team. If we play team ball and tough defense, we could easily sweep them.

    It won’t matter in this one, but I hope Tatum saves the iso step-back garbage for when absolutely nothing else is working or he has a great rhythm, sometimes we’re flowing as a team and he junks it up on a total force imo.

    Tatum did good things, but he’s really hesitant to be like “I actually don’t need to score at all tonight” which I think will be huge when it totally locks in for him. He can be incredible by just rebounding, playing defense, and moving the ball.

    I’m nitpicking of course, we looked really good.

  8. champagnesupernova10

    We sat KP for two games and both were blowout wins. This is a fucking great team.

  9. cuntingme

    Just checking to see if Cavs fans still want Boston

  10. You know this team is special when they can still win by 20+, despite Tatum struggling on the floor.

    Mitchell can carry his team so far without help. Shut him down and they got nothing.

  11. JaySmooth_

    You can clearly notice the difference in experience between Pritchard and other bench players.

  12. TATUM FOURTH BEST ON TEAM

    1. BUFFALO
    2. JB
    3. KORNET

  13. Brad-Stevens

    Good win

    Jaylen was dialed in

    Derrick stays red hot

    LUKE WORKIN

    Keep stacking dubs

  14. Grand_Chapter_6619

    That comment towards the end about us being 23-4 without Porzingis is absolutely staggering. This team is built. 

  15. tailford07

    Jaylen having an elite performance means a whole lot more to me than Jayson having an off night shooting.

  16. Jpgamerguy90

    I don’t even think Tatum was THAT bad tonight, 0/5 from deep meant 50% from 2. Though the stars were JB and White with phenomenal games.

  17. Cvspartan

    White has been fucking insane from 3 this playoffs. He’s been the perfect answer in lifting the offense production with KP out.

  18. WhiteImpDragon

    Let’s keep winning every quarter for the rest of the series

  19. Pale-Criticism-7420

    The fact that we ve been able to keep our team fresh by not playing our starters for more than 35mins most games these playoffs is great news if we want to go all the way

  20. Future-Turtle

    “If you don’t know Derrick White, you better get to know him.” -Jaylen Brown

  21. lefebrave

    And some of you said PP and Kornet cannot be in playoff rotation…

    Our shot quality was insane, we found the best shot possible for the most part. On top of that everyone rebounded.

  22. nbianco1999

    Tatum shoots 7-19 and we still win by 25 lmao this team is something else. Derrick White is HIM.

  23. 12/14 free throws. That’s something I’m proud of.

  24. at_least_u_tried

    Derrick White is r/nbacirclejerk father 😈

  25. FtMuttonchops

    the fact that the entire game thread was full of doomers is so embarrassing
