Celtics beating Cavs in 5, 6 at most
Garland is a negative player against the full Celtics. He's a mismatch against everyone when on defense and he's not good enough on offense to overcome the White/Holiday defense. C's will concede Mitchell clutch scoring to stop Garland as the secondary scorer. Size and rebounding is what hurts the Celtics; Garland being benched would be more effective against the C starters.

I think another thing in the calculation to leave Darius alone on Tatum (to a certain point) was Kenny and the Cavs willing to trade Boston mid-range 2s for 3s. It was something I noticed pretty much all 4th quarter but especially down the stretch and even in the clips you show, a lot of Tatum's offense is coming in the 10-18ft range whereas Mitchell was hunting 3s late (and even Okoro took that wing 3 you clipped). Obviously the Celtics took more 3s than the Cavs did that night because, well, they're the Celtics, but still an interesting shot selection thing that I wanna see play out and evolve as these teams play each other more. Wonder if the Cavs can produce similar process defensively against Boston with Jaylen and Derrick.
3 for 21 is crazy work
8:12 Mitchell should have snatched that ball. As soon as #11 turns his back to him. Which is when he enters the paint.
This will be a great match-up if they're all healthy, IMO Cleveland is the only team that can match Boston rn.
Crazy level coaching and adjustments.
9:11 Wouldn't be wise if Porzingis were to simply block #35 I have no idea why defenses are so passive on the pick and roll. Go there and make your own defensive screen which turns out to be simply a BLOCK to prevent the ROLL. Even more so when the action is taking place in the LOGO, the guy want to step back and try his luck with the deep 3… having his original defender still on the picture… let him.
Am I the only one disgusted with matchup hunting?
I haven’t watched a lot of Celtics, but Does anyone also hate that green court?
Horford at his advanced age is a more mobile defender than kristaps?
It’s crazy that Celtics are this good with Tatum not having an elite inside offense 😅 had to nerf him somehow I guess
That's why Luka have and will always be the better player than Tatum. He's an average finisher with a decent ball handling that always struggle against legit defenders.
Jayson Tatum wouldn't even get passed 2nd round of the playoffs with Maxi Kleber & Dwight Powell at the front court for years. He will be in contest with Josh Green throwing bricks.
Celtics lost this one because KP is still a step or two slow
why would they put darius garland on jalen brown and Jayson Tatum instead of derek white or jrue
Can’t forget the Celtics beat the Cavs when they were missing strus, okoro, wade, and levert and it was only by 3 with a stinker from garland. Health and consistency could catapult the Cavs over the Celtics
CP3 is known for his defense. Could you do one on how CP3 guards taller players?
First game Cavs missed 6 players on their Roster and Garland shot a 3-24 stinker. And the Cavs still only lost by 3.
This finally confirms and proves that Tatum is indeed a terrible finisher at the rim. He simply sux. He needs to improve or the Celtics are never going to repeat.
NJone of those strats will work with JB and DWhite on the court.
Cavs didn’t gave max strus or Dean wade either
