Boston Starting 5 (along with Bostonian opinions)
Terry Rozier: Best point guard in the east
Jalen Brown: Better than Jalen Rose and PJ Brown combined
Jason Tatum: Better abs than Channing Tatum
Marcus Morris: Future greatest Celtic of all time and 1st team all defense
Al Horford: Enough 'Tommy Points' to set up a 'Tommy Point' bank
The best bench in the NBA:
Marcus smart: Tony Allen if you would happily punch Tony Allen in the face. People talk about his timely crunch buckets but I've noticed its because his shot selection is terrible, he only takes hero shots.
Semi Ojeleye: Mainly biceps, some say under his biceps there is a second pair of reserve biceps
Aron Baynes: Top notch top knot, scared to shoot when bron is at the rim
Lebron has a huge head.
It's cliche, but I think whoever wins tonight will win the series. Go Cavs!
Other than Baynes and maybe Smart, don't think Boston will shock anyone with their new starting 5.
I STILL can’t believe that we traded Kyrie for the #8 pick and 3 players Boston was happy to get rid of. MAN, what a fleecing. It’s like Gilbert and Koby sat around and actively THOUGHT: “How do I slam a championship window shut and push Bron out the door?”
Guess what? That asshat Paul Pierce predicted Celtics winning big tonight.
The great Brad Stevens is 5-14 in the playoffs on the road. With all the love this man gets, you'd think he'd be 14-5 on the road.
He had IT, Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley as his big 3. All of them are almost out of the league now. They were so good that people thought that Jae and Avery Bradley was an overpayment for Love.
He looks like a good guy. Sucks that he coaches Boston. Their players are also fine, but I will never ever be able to not hate them because of their fan base. But all in all, they have likable players in a vacuum.
he’s no doubt. Remember that Kyrie and Hayward are out and these guys are in a conference finals.
I think that any coach would panic if he face cavs with everybody involved on offense instead of only lebron
Yeah he is, but people are already calling him the Popivich of the East
Come on Kevin, stop with the silly fouls! Stop breathing on Horford, will you?
Horford wants so bad to prove TT can’t stop him
Horford can’t dunk.
Celtics can’t dunk!
Cavs gotta capatlize and play smart. If we do that we can win. Decent start. Celtics have missed quite a few shots already. Cavs gotta take advantage of that.
You mean Celtics have to play Smart?
I can live with Morris taking as many shots as he wants
Nice adjustment by Stevens, using Rozier as the primary post defender.
Celtics have no chance.
Go at Jaylen Brown and make him get that 2nd foul
Celtics taking 1 on 1 shots almost every time.
Cavs are working to isolate Rozier on switches every time they can.
TT turns into bill Russell when he sees green.
THat such bullshit Rozier flopped
Wasn’t even set either. I think refs just give the smaller guy benefit of the doubt on that sort of play.
we’ll get a revenge flop on ’em, no worries
Three on Morris
Morris is such a whiner too.
Can any Celtic hold onto the ball?
I can hear the keltics crying for the refs now
Man the Celtics "big adjustment" so far is Marcus Morris ISO-ball against Kevin Love.
Game and series is ours if we want it. Just have to continue to execute defensively. Our offense doesn't even matter in this series really. If we defend well enough Boston wont score enough to beat LBJ.
Horford has went ISO a bunch too. Everyone on their team seems to right now, I'm not sure if it's their game plan or they just aren't executing ball movement.
Keep attacking Rozier. Why didn't we do this before.
LeBron coulda been Gronk
They have 0 turnovers. We have 3. This is how we lost game 2. Let’s play smart and not too aggressive
Lebron shouldn't shout at Korver, ever.
Can we go after Morris on offense? Stevens is leaving the dude in with 3 fouls in the first quarter???
What the hell do the Celtics' warmup shirts say? Crus Crise? What?
Celtics bench have very distinct blowout face. I would guess just by looking at their faces that their team is getting blown the **** out. Not a good trait.
It's too bad that we didn't play with this kind of energy the first two games. The series would be over tonight if we had.
Keep letting Marcus Fart shoot the Celtics out of the game
Celtics can’t win another game if we want to have any chance in game 1 VS Golden stats
Celtics don’t have a shot today We’re bringing true intensity
These guys are ****Ed. Look at their bench. They're up 2-1 and they're beat.
We got the Celtics all kinds of flustered. They aren't playing their game at all.
The Celtics have more missed field goals than they do points.
If we defend like this for rest of series. Celtic’s won’t win another game.
Only brad Stevens will get upset at a player for shooting a shot to early even if it is a point blank dunk.....
Wait, a Brad Stevens team doesnt know to wait for the last shot of a quarter? No wonder he got 0 votes for COTY.
Liking all this so far, we're doing to them what they think they're good at. Screw the little leprechauns.
Bruh I’m dead Kyle Korver is locking down Jaylen Brown
Watching this game you'd think Lue was a genius and Stevens was an idiot. Players' energy or lack thereof can do that.
Jaylen Brown was such a little cocky shit during the first two games. I'm glad to see him struggle.
Tatum and Brown 1 of 12 combined, inexperience really telling.
Here come the refs
If that's a foul, LBJ should be shooting 2 free throws on all his drivea
Refs trying to bring the Celtics back apparently. Need those ratings. Nobody is watching a blowout.
We’re making Boston look young. They are getting frustrated
Should be up more And they letting Boston hang around
We need a timeout. Celtics getting everything they want the last few possessions.
Lue is a damn moron smh. He kills his own team.
Stevens getting outcoached again, anybody going to admit it?
Lol wow these refs
Refs trying to keep this close
These fouls may kill us .... Just awful calls.
They are disrespecting us on our own damn floor. Do something about it.
WOWWW the refs want Boston to win BADDDD
I know Lebron has two fouls but, this is ridiculous. He's not even trying right now to play d.
I don’t understand what lebron is doing defensively Once they switch he just looks around La la land
Up. He's given up 3 wide open 3s off his poor switching. And he doesn't have an excuse since he's barely taking shots offensively with Korver scoring.
The wonderful coaching of Brad Stevens has Rozier switching on LeBron on baby screens that are not even being set. Stevens is running out of answers if he as a 6'1 back up point guard defending LEGOAT James.
So obvious when we play hard we’re way way better than them. Not even close.
Phantom foul on Tatum... again.
Lmao refs tried their hardest to make this a closer game to close the half. I Expect Cavs to get the favorable whistle next quarter
LOL so many bailout calls. I knew they were taking out Love of the game early but this is ridiculous. They don't need more help they can do it themselves.
I can’t believe we’re up 15 against the zebras and Celtics
Kelts defensive ceiling may be high, but their floor is equally low.
Were really exploiting their youth right now
Lue is play 3-D chess with Stevens, and it’s obvious that Stevens didn’t see it coming.
Rozier is a baller. Without him, the Celtics would be in a truly bad spot right now.
I’m not comfortable. We’re up 15 but that could be single digits. The Celtics aren’t going to give up. They’re not the Raptors.
Hate playing the Celtics, always injure us
Bron, you tryna throw this game?
How’s Tatum even arguing that? And Smart is a punk.
Phantom foul on Tatum... again.*
He gets them all the time! That baby face really works...
Thanks for Boston Lueproofing this game.
They're allowing Horford to get to Kevin way too easily.
Morris is a dirty ****. Send in Perkins to end his season.
That should be a flagrant and ejection
And Celtics are dirty as ****.
We got away with that love contest. I don't think Morris was kicking out. It's natural to rotate in mid air with your shot.
I mean tripping a player on the landing like that is just as dangerous as that “J.R. Smith shove” ESPN would not shut up about for days...
Whatever Stevens is trying to do with Rozier in the post is retarded
These referees are so annoying, I am trying to watch basketball not free throw shooting
Lets get Morris to foul out.
So many blown dunks for the Celtics.
Green made like 5 things in this game. 4 were awful. He’s green and is a former Celtics player
Kevin love is…not good
Geez Morris is such a dirty player. He’s like Lance Stephenson without any of the charm or charisma.
Rozier > Kyrie
Horrible ****ing call you dip shit refs

Heheheheheheheheehhehehehehehehehehe. The NBA is so rigged. Come at me naive fools.
Cavs are up at this point entirely due to rebounding.
Man Jeff green is not ready to play this kind of games. And he’s 32…
Rozier May be overatedDYING at Al Horford pointing Aron Baynes to the hoop pic.twitter.com/kxXjFQleCE— Born Salty (@cjzero) May 22, 2018
These refs are ridiculous for the Celtics
Refs are trying all they can to keep this close.
Refs should be shot.
Jalen Brown with his standard bear hug on defense.
The Indy series was so much better cause the refs let them play.
Brown has been draped on LeBron all ****ing game. At least 3 Celtics should have fouled out if they reffed this game both ways.
Imagine if Jaylon Brown though was on the Cavs. This would be over in 4.
Jeff Green has the basketball IQ of a big mac.
Why can't we get home cooking. It feels like we are playing in Boston.
Jalen Brown should literally foul out of every game on the first 6 possessions where he's the individual defender.
Tatum should get a tech for arguing there.
Shut up Tatum. Refs are trying to hand you the game.
Lol Tatum must be practicing his acting for an Oscar performance. That was something.
Is there a rule must change the call if Boston wants it?
These refs are giving Boston everything right now.. This is absolutely ridiculous
Marcus Smart I love when he shoots.
The announcers want the Celtics to win so badly
Everytime I see Perk on the bench, he's up with that nasty scowl talking shit. Best end of season signing ever.
They just don't die.
Baynes is moving on every screen. I know TT gets away with it, but man is Baynes obvious about it.
Baynes is clearing out Cavs players on every screen and it’s getting them open layups
Multiple moving screens, but no call... WTF!
It be too many complaints about the refs. I think they’re doing a good job.
The fix is in. They're just changing calls for them.
Bayne could have been called for about 7 seconds in the paint on that possession. Call the illegal 3 damnit.
He literally never leaves the paint. Dude's got his tent pitched and marshmallows cooking on the fire at this point.
If both teams play this kind of game on Wednesday in Boston, Cavs lose.
If both teams play like this, and refs are fair cavs win easily.
You mean the refs can be much worse?
It seems since the dawn of time, Celtic fans always whine about refs. So stupid.
Celtics are showing their age now.
Smart trying to get yet another flopping call.
Smarts flopping is ridiculous...he falls every time someone makes contact with him
Smart is such a bitch. Dude doesn't deserve to be in the NBA yet the refs give him way too much.
Smart is irritating
Cavs won this game in the first quarter and have just maintained from there. Gonna need a more consistent, complete effort to win in Boston.
Any complaints about the refs giving us the ball when it was clearly out on Love?
Jaylen Brown stat boosting lol what a loser
Jaylen brown is a ****ing retard. The cavs just let the shock clock expire, and brown goes in for a power slam down 11 with 10 seconds left.. Cavs needs to make sure he is taught a lesson
Honestly I thought the Celtics really brought it tonight. I think that is their best possible basketball on the road....
Refs have been favorable for the Cavs, they’re gonna have to have a sustained effort in Boston to come out on top. Boston probably will have more TO’s next game though.
It’s a three game series now, kids. Put your money on the team that has LeBron.
Smart is literally getting beat up by LeBron.
Smart should focus more on defense, less on flopping

Those fans are pathetic. Can't wait to win game five.
