Cavaliers* title typo
Won’t even spell them right, no respect 😂
The Bucks starting to win and now nobody wants to talk about them🤣🤣
They just hire anyone on ESPN
Not in a 7 game series they cant .
Hard to keep up with someone you’re ahead of
It have been nice if they have lebron as a couch pt player with his son's playing together
Anything that has a team of rocket ship motor there's always on the go until otherwise let's go
As a Cavs fans lemme say the Celts are the champs. They will be the champs until someone knocks them off. They’ve earned that. But I think this Cavs team will only continue to grow and get better. And i think come playoff time, with hopefully two healthy teams, we could see a very entertaining and close series
It’s obvious the Cavs are looking to face the Lakers in the finals Celtics not going b2b
Liftoff 💪🏿🚀🏆🏆
18 FTs in final 30 seconds is unwatchable basketball. NBA needs to figure out a rule that lets games play out like real basketball instead of FT contests.
Obviously during the playoff series the Cavs were injured no Mitchell or Allen
TATUM SO TRASH HE MISSED TWO LAYUPS UNDER 2 MINS TO GO LMFAOOOOOO OVER——-RATED
Donovan wasn’t healthy for the Boston playoff series just in case you forgot Tim.
did I just witness a Rocket's segment? we made it!!! Let's go
Cavs are frauds
Can the Celtics keep up with the cavs no
With all due respect to the Celtics. Mitchell's Cavs have always played them well. Plus Spida and Allen were hurt during last season's playoff match-up
At the last 30 seconds, cavs were scared to lose after pritchard’s 3 so they kept purposely fouling to maintain their lead. They should not do that and just put their best guys and play good defence to stop Celtics from shooting 3s to tie and force ot, the last seconds took forever. Teams in the past dont even do this, they just play defence. This just shows cavs sucks
Nobody played Boston better in the playoffs last year than the Cavs. Cavs won game 2 on the road with an already depleted roster and then lost Mitchell and Caris and Okoro and dean Wade before they sat and lost final 3 games—-Mac’s made finals last year and stars were healthy and were almost swept before squeaking one away late in the series after it wasn’t competitive
Celtics cavs ECF you heard it here first
I’m so sick of excuses for teams that lose to any Cleveland team. It’s sickening. When the Cavaliers met Boston in Boston. They were missing Caris Levert, Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade. Compounded by the fact they had most back to back games then any team in the league that time. Facts! This is why mainstream media is becoming less likable and fans are turning to alternatives of real reporting. You got your pets teams and big cities! NY LA, Pitts, KC now. Forget or disparage true blue collar cities teams like the CLE, Buffalo and Detroit Lions. They’re our brothers from another mother I’m rooting for to win SB from pet team KC! So sick of them. Go Cavs!! Go Browns! WOOF
Easy answer, nope
OK, let’s pretend like Mitchell wasn’t absent from two of the playoff games against the Celtics and Jared Allen wasn’t completely gone the whole series lol
CJ McCollum to the bucks !!
TF is this title?? They just beat them
Bontemps just salty his 76ers are trash
Tim does have a slight bias for the Cavs so I can’t take his take seriously.
No jaylen brown is like no spida. I like Cleveland but cut it out.
Cavs won against a Brown and White-less Celtics plus an inefficient 3 PT shooting night from said team, and so I can't help but think that this win relied on that. Other than that, Cavs have the best record to start this season, are leading in multiple facets both offensively and defensively, and it constantly feels like people like Bontemps will resort to "when we look back at their playoff series against Boston in March it didn't look that good blah blah blah" Bro this team is nothing like last season in any way at all. The DG DM backcourt lack of synergy arguement is gone because of KA's minutes and rotations. JA and EM's synergy argument is gone because they're capitalizing on Mobley spreading the floor and creating space, the two bigs can coexist now. Our depth has shooting, perimeter defense and shot creation in Levert as a 6th man plus guys like Porter Jr, Tyson, Merril and the major X factor Ty Jerome and ALL these guys are being used and staying in when they get hot. Bickerstaff was not doing any of these things as a coach. This roster has been waiting for an overhaul and we got it with KA.
