    Would have loved for us to run away with this game from the start, but I will take the results all the same. Let’s wrap this shit up at home and rest up for the ECF!

  2. thetruth0102

    Not the game we expected but I’m still happy with the result, a win is a win. C’s getting battle tested in this series, they’ll be a lot more ready next game. Finish it in 5 to get more rest.

    JT with 33-11-5, shutting down his doubters once again.

  3. Cs literally decided to create a clutch game just to practice. Next level disrespect

  4. crackdup

    Ugly af win, but getting both in Cleveland is massive.. now close this series out in G5

  5. changbanggang

    Ugly Win.

    JB dagger was juicy

    Jrue’s overall play was even juicier

  6. ZEFAGrimmsAlt

    Definitely didnt have 27 heart attacks

  7. aja_ramirez

    We really have to figure out our crunch time offense. Do we have ANYONE that can step up and score consistently? That will definitely be the difference between winning it all and coming in second.

  8. jRuE iS wAsHeD iN tHe PlAyOfFs, ThE bUcKs FaNs TrIeD tO wArN uS.

    The Holiday haters and doubters can hold this fat L, man led the mission tonight.

    Let’s get this done on Wednesday.

  9. zgamer200

    It was an ugly as hell win for the Celtics, but there are no style points in the playoffs. You just gotta take them however you can get them.

    Major credit to the Cavs for nearly stealing this one with the C’s clearly not taking them seriously to start, though. Had me sweating.

  10. All the wins can’t be sexy huge blow outs.

    They just need to be wins.

  11. HailKyrie

    Jrue is really rounding back into form. Phenomenal games from him and JT.

  12. bubsiboo

    It was fucking ugly, but they all count the same.

    Now let’s close this shit out, get KP back, and keep getting better.

  13. UberAndLyftSuck

    Say it with me

    THANK YOU JRUE HOLIDAY

  14. BradWonder

    Jays with 9 turnovers to 6 assists, yikes

  15. Kbrichmo

    Good god Kristaps please come back soon this offense is awful

  16. Brad-Stevens

    I’d rather face the 1992 Dream Team than an undermanned team at this point

    Just get this ugly series over with on Wednesday

  17. Particular-Informal

    That was way too close but pumped to be up 3-1! LFG!

  18. VortexCow

    Everyone online complaining about the refs like Cleveland didn’t shoot 50 3’s

  19. bradyisking

    Someone do some detective work and figure out what happened at the end with Brown

  20. Neat-Current5008

    They tried their hardest to choke it but they scraped out just enough. Wins are the only stat that matter in the playoffs and they got it. Also Jrue has been amazing this series

  21. Cvspartan

    Jrue Holiday with back-to-back amazing games on both ends. Shoutout to him.

  22. Take a look at r/nba if you need a laugh nephews are melting down

  23. rveets1416

    Tatum and Brown were aggressive throughout.

    Cavs played a hell of a game. They really left it all out there and this is a game we lose in years past.

    Jrue was the steadying force we needed throughout the entire game.

    Hopefully White is fine and that ankle tweak was minor.

    Let’s finish this off at home and rest the guys before the next series.

  24. JaylenBrownsLeftHand

    r/nba is crying hard rn. It’s a good day
