Go back and look at minutes played and points off the bench. Cleveland had 2 players over 30 minutes played Boston had 4 starters at almost 40 minutes and only 40 min out the bench with only 6 points off the bench. Boston will not win a chip like that again.
Always “the Porzingas excuse” it’s getting old. He ain’t Kareem.
Never liked Boston Celtics
The Cavalanche is Real.
Im so pumped that the Cavs won, but I can't even make it through a 2:30 video because SAS is so obnoxious…
Cavaliers 3rd team to win 70 games, its realistic now, 10 losses came from atlanta 2x, boston 2x, houston 2x, philly, indy, okc, miami thats it
They can't beat a healthy Celtics in a seven game series period!
People forget Utah Mitchell was knockin off Westbrook and competing with prime Harden in the playoffs in the west I always said he should’ve won rookie of the year against Ben Simmons who people continuously tried to put over him and give too much praise Mitchell been a star
Perk trying to use Porzingis and Jrue Holiday missing the game as the sole reason the Celtics lost. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum went for 83 points! IDC who they were missing, don't minimize an incredible win for the Cavs.
Donavan Mitchell 4 MVP 💪👍!!
Cavs fan really delusional, you really think Celtics going to choke a 20pt lead 4 consecutive times in a 7 game series? All 4 matchups, Celtics always had the double digit lead against you guys and they start coasting because is reg season, they don’t care as much. Given a playoff setting, you better pray hard enough that KP and Jrue is not playing if not you will never stand a chance.
The Cavs are going to the finals, they will beat the Celtics in the east coast finals
Perks will always defend Lebron and Celtics…
Don't give me missing players excuse. You were given a 22 point head start.
As a Celtics fan ,I can’t wait to see the cavs play in the playoffs. It was an amazing game. Definitely would be a great ECF series between these two. 🤙🏾
How are sports a thing? Can I block them all. Please tell me how
Perk and Celtic fan cryin about missing two key players, but the Cavs were missing Allen and Mitchell against Boston in the playoffs last year. Bostonian tends to forget that.
The Celtics are done
Nice win by Cavs but Perk stop it psychologically doesn't matter for Celtics if they're 1st in the standings. My only take away from this game is Mazzulla need to improve production from their bench play Torrey Craig more. Cavs bench really good Hunter trade.
Let’s go Cavs
The Cavs have the deepest bench in the NBA by a good margin. Deandre Hunter, Ty Jerome, Dean Wade. Could start on a lot of NBA Teams. Okoru and Merrill are their 9th and 10th guys. 😂. They literally play 10 guys and every single one of them can contribute
I feel like Perkins is doing a much better job. I couldn’t stand him for so long. I literally turned off the vid when he came on, or if I saw his pic I wouldn’t open it. Today he merely mentioned two players out, didn’t overdo it (except to Boston fans who think he cried about it). He’s won me back so far.
its just a lucky at 3's! thats why they won!
Talk about stating the obvious Stephen A 🙄
Nahh you cant beat them with Holiday and KP.
The city espn loves to disrespect 💯
Been saying this for 8 years..Donavan Mitchell is the 2020's version of Dwayne Wade💥
By all means stop talking about NY and make the Cavs your team. ESPN: Fire SAS
But didn't Gil just say these boys ain't a threat to Boston this morning
tatum and brown play like that and you say KP and Jrue out? wild af.
IMA NEED BIG PERK TO STAND DOWN. STAND DOWN
Our bench is the best bench in the league! No team can run with us a full game!
Darius Garland showed up a little bit? Did SA watch this game?
Cavs gonna lose to the pacers or bucks in the second round
Krisbum Porzingis is so unreliable/always out that he shouldn’t even count as a starter anymore
So much for Cavs little guards and Celtics big guards!!
The leastern conference only has 2 serious teams😂😂
Look at Stephen A Smith, doo doo face, mad he gon have to come to Cleveland in June. Get this unprofessional man outta there LOL
Tatum MVP ❌
Tatum Chocker ✅
“He knew the starters when he made that prediction“ 😂
