will robie Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Game One of the ECF shows that help isn't determined by who's on your team it's how you play on the team. I expected this to happen. What I didn't expect was the Celtics shutting down Lechoke James and limiting him to 15 points, 19 points off his playoff average. Tatum, Horford, Brown and Morris all scored, at least, 16 points, with Jaylen reading the way with 23, followed by Marcus with 21 and Big Al with 20. Taco Jay Tatum had 16. Cs in 5. 1 Quote Link to comment
junix Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Total domination by the Cs...and an annihilation @ the garden. tatum? that kid is the ROY. brilliant coaching resulting to a suffocating defense. the GOAT (?) had a 5-16 shooting and 7 TOs. yes...remove james and the cavs are sitting ducks.

will robie Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It was a fantastic win. Everyone contributed. I was shocked that even Rozier was guarding James. Indeed, it was a fantastic win. Yes, Rozier was guarding James because of the quick and constant switching and double teaming inside. If James goes down low on Rozier, Horford or Morris will come in from the weak side to double James. The defensive rotations for the Celtics was superb. I can also say it was absolute perfection in this game. Total domination by the Cs...and an annihilation @ the garden. tatum? that kid is the ROY. brilliant coaching resulting to a suffocating defense. the GOAT (?) had a 5-16 shooting and 7 TOs. yes...remove james and the cavs are sitting ducks.Yup, you remove Lechoke and Cleveland is a lottery team. The Cavs were simply outclassed and this game proves that one man can't make the difference. Chris Broussard, the Lechoke James ass kisser, didn't give the Cs a chance to win this series. What a moron. 1 Quote Link to comment

He is one of the few people who can device a plan to slowdown James. In terms of coaching, Brad and Pop are in uncharted territory. Only Pop is better than him among active coaches. Pop is the master in slowing down Lechoke. Brad made an absolutely brilliant defensive plan to slow down Lechoke. I was expecting James to explode but instead he was bottled up good.

darksoulriver Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Zone Defense shutsdown Lebron... but still too early to celebrate. Quote Link to comment
Matic yan Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 1-0 na... Good luck tomorrow.... LeBron must stop... Without Kyrie Celtics will ho to nba finals Quote Link to comment
dklaw Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 What if Kyrie and Haywood playing right now in playoffs? Siguro hirap na hirap ang CAVS sa playoff. Next year ano kaya ang season playoff ng Boston. Quote Link to comment
junix Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Cs will be a scarier team with kyrie and gordon back in the lineup. Quote Link to comment
junix Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 42 pts from lechoke and still he lost tsk tsk tsk am i smelling a sweep? Quote Link to comment
Rance Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 This team reminds of the old Detriot Pistons team that won the championship in 2004. Both teams worked hard and played together in both ends of the court. And to think Boston is 2 wins away from reaching the finals having only 1 fringe All star in Al Horford wow.

will robie Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 42 pts from lechoke and still he lost tsk tsk tsk am i smelling a sweep?Haha! I expected Lechoke to go off. I also expected the Cs to win by double digits. Quote Link to comment
junix Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Haha! I expected Lechoke to go off. I also expected the Cs to win by double digits. the sweep can be achieved hahahaha honestly though, maybe a 4-1 win is more realistic Quote Link to comment

Lechoke was mediocre in Gane 1, the Cavs lost. Lechoke was superb in Gane 2 and they still lost. Quote Link to comment

StringSnSnares Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yung nangyari sa raptors na sweep, wala kasi katapat si lebron, ngayon sa boston meron, nabaog sya kay morris at kay smart, homecourt naman ng cavs 2 games, expected 2-2 yan, kikilos na ang mga refs nyan, pag balik ng homecourt ng boston 3-2 or 4-2, hindi na yan mag 4-3, mag 2-2 lang cavs sa home court nila tatapusin na ng boston 4-2 ang series pag balik sa bahay nila. wala kwenta si lebron pag nadepensahan.

I doubt it will be 2-2. I will give one win for the Cavs at home but 2 straight games with the way the Cs are playing lock down defense? I don't think so. 4-1 Celtics. I almost forgot. Danny Ainge has fleeced the Cavs. The Cavs have the number 8 pick. Haha! 1 Quote Link to comment
