Lol holy shit. Celtics better dress come in black for Game 4. Gotta look appropriate for your own funeral.

 

[friskykillface]

Celtics getting bodied without the Cavs making 3's? lmao

Celtics only have 1 made 3 lol

It's ECF game 6 all over again

 

[eBay Huckster]

Bruh both teams can't lose by 30 man

Guess Cleveland just has to win by 40, then

 

[BlackNMild2k1]

Is this game over already?

Or will the Celtics pull it together and force the Cavs to take them seriously?

 

[SyenceLabb]

This is sad.

 

[illmatic22]

Celtics are the best of the rest but that's it. Can't matchup against Superteams.

 

[Sanjuro]

Hot takes so far.

Toronto would be playing just as well.
Washington was the best team this year.
LeBron plays for the regular season.

What else we got?

 

[Tom Penny]

90% open threes. Hit 1. At least give yourself a punchers chance

 

[LyleLanley]

Disappointing but expected.

 

[spyder_ur]

I'm not stunned, but I expected the Celtics to be able to score and at least force some semblance of difficult shots.

Man, LeBron loves playing in the Garden.

1-14 from 3s. You hit even 5 of those, it's at least more competitive.

 

[friskykillface]

Butler wouldn't have stopped this
George either because to get either of them Danny had to trade multiple people


Again, wizards lost because their bench sucks, what do you think would have happened now?

 

[eBay Huckster]

Hot takes so far.

Toronto would be playing just as well.

I mean, considering Toronto was getting sonned to about the same degree, this one probably isn't too hot a take

 

[Sanjuro]

What if fat LeBron was still playing?

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Cavs have great chemistry.

They also have the best player on Earth (by a large margin)

That's a hard team to bet against, even facing the Warriors.

Deron Williams and Korver cookin Jennings and Bogdanovic

 

[cubicle47b]

So the Cavs look as rusty and lazy as the Warriors did in the first half on Sunday, but the Celtics have no Kawhi on offense or defense.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Boston is in a tough spot, even if they can get the pieces to overthrow Lebron, there is that small Golden State problem out west to deal with.

 

[mjp2417]

This series will cost IT millions. I can see the Celts letting him go eventually and drafting a PG. Or maybe making him a sixth man like Crawford.

IT isn't going to lose them this series. The Cavs, because of the JR/Shumpert platoon, have someone they can hide him on defensively. It's actually not a bad matchup for him. The Celtics just desperately need a rebounding, paint protecting big.

 

[legend166]

I mean I get the whole 'Cavs don't care about the regular season' thing, but why the heck did LeBron play so many minutes?

Trying out his new HGH?

We all agree he's on some sort of PEDs right?

 

[megalowho]

That Love shot felt like game. Brutal run

 

[Line_HTX]

Cleveland needs to body them more.

 

[Sanjuro]

I mean, considering Toronto was getting sonned to about the same degree, this one probably isn't too hot a take

The Celtics still have room to make some adjustments. Toronto really didn't have anything to do.

It's the least hot of the takes, but it's still fresh out of the microwave.

Warriors wouldn't miss all those open 3's that the Celtics got


LeBron just owns Horford lol

K Love about to out-board your entire team himself

 

[Lionel Richie]

Fuck Lebron trying to fish a technical on IT there with his team up by 20 acting like he just walked in on Delonte wearing nothing but his mom. He can't help himself trying to get people suspended even when his team is like 10 times better.

 

[Sanjuro]

K Love about to out-board your entire team himself

Max guys don't rebound.

 

[Chase17]

Games not over, we haven't seen James Young yet.

 

[silver.tongue]

What a massacre...

 

[J2 Cool]

Wow. Reggie selling this as preseason play for the Celtics. Nba can't enjoy that

 

[eBay Huckster]

yeah, but to continue this metaphor it's one of those dishes that only heated up on the outside and the inside is ice cold

(because it's gonna take an actual roster change for Boston to be able to adjust enough)

 

[LionPride]

K Love about to out-board your entire team himself

I mean that's a fact

 

[friskykillface]

MVP Jaylen leveling up

Future LeBron shook

 

[BlackGhost]

Pretty sure the Cavs will blow the lead, and the game will go down to the wire.

 

[mjp2417]

Wow. Reggie selling this as preseason play for the Celtics. Nba can't enjoy that

He's not wrong

 

[spyder_ur]

I'd like them just to give Jaylen 30 minutes a game this series at this point.

 

[Line_HTX]

The Cavs look like they don't give a shit. Should sweep them as quickly as possible.

 

[friskykillface]

1/15
Yeesh

 

[LyleLanley]

I'd like them just to give Jaylen 30 minutes a game this series at this point.

Anything less than 48 a night means Brad should be fired.

 

[overcast]

It's hard to see the Celtics topping the Cavs at all in the next two years.

C's should have been swept in the first round

Looks like I won't be going to Game 6.....

 

[Sanjuro]

I don't think so. This Cavs team is not unbeatable, just undefeatable.

 

[Slizeezyc]

You think Ainge can package the first pick with a Marcus Smart to acquire LeBron?

 

[Lionel Richie]

FT shooting paints the picture on what kind of night the Celtics are having. Cavs defense did show some holes though, I think we could take a game.

 

[mjp2417]

It's hard to see the Celtics topping the Cavs at all in the next two years.

As soon as LeBron starts to decline the whole thing kinda falls apart, but yeah he's probably got about 2 more prime years before that happens

 

[sf2fanatic]

Looks like I won't be going to Game 6.....

😅😅😅

 

[Sanjuro]

Added.

Toronto would be playing just as well.
Washington was the best team this year.
LeBron plays for the regular season.
Rajon Rondo > LeBron James.

Pacers-Cavs would have been a more interesting ECF.

I got you!

Paul George's MySpace leaked in 2017.

If they pick Lonzo they could in 3 years
