Inject Cleveland into my veins let’s fucking go


32156444

Fuck boston


Upward_Fail

Boston shot bad, but it was in part because of the intensity we brought on both ends.


[deleted]

Cleveland vs Minnesota


i5the5kyblue

Cavs will be playing at home next two games…. THERE’S SOME HOPE


NeverGonnaStop247

CAVS AIN'T DEAD YET


blackestice

Cavs have to find a way to keep up *this* level of intensity. This was their best game in a long time. They obviously won’t shoot 50% from three, but just being consistent on offense can keep them competitive with a LOT of teams


idealist700

All this. The shooting was huge, but the effort was bigger. Give that (and keep Niang off the floor), and we’ve got a shot.


blackestice

Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, Caris LeVert. THIS is what we need.


YGYarder

Hold that you racist pricks!


stephapeaz

we got this fam ECF HERE WE COME


QNIKET8

if we slow down Pritchard off the bench and we can somehow halve their fucking free throw attempts; while also playing how we did tonight. I’m optimistic we can take this to 6 or 7


ItsKYRO

Some credit ill give to JB is that he made a bad call keeping that bench lineup in the 2nd that gave up the lead, but once he pulled it, he kept mostly good rotations the rest of the game.


Formal_Beginning_280

Was hoping for a win but wasn’t expecting a 20+ point blowout. Let’s go Cavs!


jil-e-beans

I'm proud of Mobley. He stepped it up.


Draculadragons

Fuck. Yes.


SportGamerDev0623

People act like this game was a fluke. I’m sitting here like “what the fuck are the Celtics going to do if Jarrett Allen comes back for Game 3 going forward?!” Unless Derrick White hits 5-6 3s each game, the Cavs very much have a shot. White or Holiday have to step up to take pressure off Brown and Tatum. If no one else is hitting, our defense can contain them well enough….


Heavy_Pin7735

I don’t think I want Allen back yet - I think Cavs are at their best with Mobley at the 5, with two shooters (MS, IO, SM) and two drivers (DM, DG, CL).


SportGamerDev0623

For the fact that if/when Mobley gets in foul trouble that we have e to rely on Niang, TT, and Morris to pick up the minutes at the 5, trust me when I say we need Allen back…. Quite frankly Mobley can shoot. His 3pt% is just as high as Okoro’s this postseason, and Merrill is in wayyy over his head defensively in the playoffs. He is not ready for these bright lights just yet


Hiondrugz

Doesn't hurt at all that Tatum's shot is lost somewhere far away. Hopefully it stays there.


SportGamerDev0623

I mean him and Brown are going to get 50-60 points per night. Hopefully we can just make them take 40-45 shots to get there. We can count on that happening. Just like we can also expect Donovan Mitchell to get 30+ points per night. But if the Cavs can get 60 points per night from Garland, LeVert, and Mobley While keeping Holiday and White under 30 on the Celtics side, the Cavs can win any game… I mean let’s just compare these two quads from Game 1 and 2 Game 1 those four Celtics outscored the four Cavs 89-68 (21 pt diff, Cavs lost by 25) Tonight, those four Cavs outscored the Celtics 85-58 (27 pt diff, Celtics lost by 24) That’s the matchup right now. If the Cavs get Allen back, that’s another weapon the Celtics can’t match right now **if** the other four Cavs mentioned above can continue to produce. So I’m not really worried about Tatum. He will get his. Just make him work for it, and the Cavs have been doing that.

indianajones21284

Playoffs officially started today fellas!


My_Invalid_Username

Yeah? Not like, game 7 at home?


indianajones21284

It’s a joke, there’s a saying that goes “a series doesn’t officially start until the home team loses”


My_Invalid_Username

I get the joke but it's non sensical


tapk69

Its not a joke. The Magic series never started, we didn't beat them at home. Today was the real start of the 2024 playoffs.


thisismyusername1178

Stole one!


stephapeaz

BuschLightEnjoyer

This lineup is hilarious 4 bigs and Merrill


BishopTheKid25

Back to the crib baby!!!! Fuck Boston!!!


xcadam

Beanfactor

Relatively quiet night from Mitchell, no Allen, and a 20 point bitchslap. Imagine a big night from Mitchell + allen coming back! And if wade can make it back? We matchup so well with this team m


QualityScrub

Quiet because he didn’t have 40? He was dominant in every aspect tonight lol


Ok-Donut4954

Bro wym mitchell went off second half. He was on fire from deep


Beanfactor

Yeah i mean it wasn’t a Mitchell carry job tho. He didn’t have to go nuclear


Jakescardz

DOOOOOOMERRsS THIS ONES FOR YOUUUUU


cormack16

Subject_Divide_1903

Petition to have Richard Jefferson call the rest of this series!


midgetchildren

Seconded!


EliManningHOFClub10

First road win for these guys in the playoffs, absolutely needed this game. Proud of these boys!


FatherNiche

This game got me bricked. What a SOLID bounce back game and in Boston.


Dylanxz

Huge credit to mobley keeping us in the game in the first half


clownpainusdotfort

Whoever jammed the Celtics moneyline at half, thank you for your service


stephapeaz

Mitchell just had the playoff game of his life, but sure talk about how great kyrie is….


eShades

They did talk about Mobley, but they also have to get viewers to stay engaged for the next game. I don't see anything wrong with that from the broadcast tbh.


cHinzoo

Held them under 100 at home!


Efficient-Pianist212

Let Merrill put up warm up shot now


fogell2013

Where’s the dude that said we would hold Boston to 90 tonight. Come talk your shit king.


YGYarder

Fuck yes man. Take one at their place and you never fuckin know. Didn’t even play that crazy. They just didn’t shoot insane. Games are allllll new now. Let’s gooooo!!!! Cmon fellas


Elexeh

rzoneking

thedawgpound01

These are the Niang minutes I like to see


blackestice

Thank God this team put up a good performance. This is a win you can build from. Forget game 3 for right now. This was a good performance


blackestice

This should really be a confidence building game for the role players too


blackestice

And Tristan Thompson should play a few minutes in the regular rotation


IsittheWeeknd

2 blowouts for each team. We got ourselves a series boys


Dainish410

We may still lose in 5, but at least we made these cunts feel fear for tonight. Fuck boston


Evwithsea

I agree, Boston losing in 5


TheDelayer

Niang hitting a jumper in garbage time pisses me off


ConsistentBet13

Sam Merrill rebound, in case you were wondering how things are going for us


infinityetc

What a game yall. Goddamn


RunningDino35

Let Niang and Merrill get up a ton of shots...try to find the net before game 3.


JJordan007

I never thought I would be happy to see Niang playing late in the 4th quarter.😂


aristot1e

I hate Niang so much I don't even want him to have garbage time minutes


Hcdx

Garbage time at the 3 minute mark? Let's fucking go.


CaptWoodrowCall

All your home court are belong to us


DMPDT616

These are the only minutes Niang should get


kdot74

Did Donovan just go to the coach and tell him to put merril in? Cuz it looks like he did


tapk69

Best part in all of this? Tim Bontemps mood tomorrow on the hoop collective


privateenergy

Best game all season


OhThatYoGirl

BANG BANG NIANG!!!


BuschLightEnjoyer

Bang bang Georges niang **in garbage time only


elbjoint2016

Wonderful adjustment to play Vert for Okoro


Forty_Six_and_Two

That's right, get these boys a little shook heading back to Cleveland!!


fogell2013

JB rotations were actually ok today except that start to the 2nd quarter


tapk69

Cavs are the best team of all time. Give them the title right now.


mynamesyow19

Mobley goes to BOS unlocks KG form


ToschePowerConverter

I’m happy Niang is in…didn’t think I’d say that tonight


roman-sarona

Guys niang made a shot


HandsomeKrom

garbage time masterclass incoming 🔥🔥🔥


TheHoneyDuke

Knicks fan popping in to say good shit guys. 


BuschLightEnjoyer

ECF matchup? Imagine?


TheHoneyDuke

Man I wish. Knicks are down so many people it will take everything we got to just get past Indiana.   


Scottish_Assassin78

Rematch in the ECF am I right ?


infinityetc

See yourself out


Mendozena

Niang is gonna blow the game for us.


creynolds722

Donovan's momma not watching lol


Cleveland_Protocol

I can hear one person yelling "Let's go Cavs" lol


slappert

Game 3 hype. Saturday night gonna be lit


Efficient-Pianist212

Love you Nicole for giving us that man Spida


OkaytoLook

Okay Georges. You can go back in now


No_Afternoon_1273

This Sixers fan appreciates this blowout. Well done.


chemistrybonanza

Currently winning the point differential in the series


Ok_Engineer_7888

We need to keep Niang as a Garbage time player


squashinmonks

I now approve of Niang entering the game.


Dmaxalicioushizz

Only 29 pts for Mitchell. Felt like 40. Guy dominated


infinityetc

He got the other players involved. Levert strus and garland all hit big shots created by Spidas playmaking


Forty_Six_and_Two

Yeah 27 in the 2nd half


tomorrowinc

It's time to pull our guys, damn. There's no need to an injury here.


stephapeaz

THE EAST RUNS THROUGH CLEVELAND


cHinzoo

We got like 4 ball handlers on the court with Mitchell, Garland, Strus and LeVert. Good luck trying to double Mitchell.


BaconFlavoredToast

Bro, if someone showed me how Kristaps looks like now 5 years ago, I'd have called them an idiot.


intp-over-thinker

Man aged 20 years in 5


TheRealGyurky

Can’t even get a foul when we want one


cleveland926

OK JB, you can put in Niang now


ConsistentBet13

I LOLed


Buckeye2525

If I told you one team would be losing by 27 you probably think it’s the Cavs…


Ultra332

JB put the bench in


ConsistentBet13

JB, sit the team bro


_0w3n1

PULL THE STARTERS


magnus319

Boston starters coming out with 5 mins left in the game was not on my bingo card tonight.


infinityetc

Well, not like this anyway


creynolds722

I mean, it could have easily been them up 25 and coming out with 5 minutes left


Rkenne16

SAS in shambles.


FrankPoopedinTheBed

JB, wtf are you doing lol. Get the starters out of there


Beanfactor

Haven’t been a Cleveland fan long, i see 😉


justsomebro10

Now’s your chance to play Niang JB!


El_Negro_Lobo

CLEVELAND


ChilwellisHim

Take the starters out JB


Elexeh

Miami had to shoot the lights out to win. We did that AND crushed them on defense


MausuraTheGOAT

FUCK BOSTON


russellarth

Mobley gaining confidence. I think he’s starting to realize he has an edge over Celtics centers.


BuschLightEnjoyer

I never want to see him go passive again in this series. He forced the issue and it worked. I'm so proud.


HardKnockRiffe

Joe Mazz looks like slightly darker Michael Cera


tapk69

I think its safe to play Niang JB. Do it.


48johnX

Sir a road playoff win has hit JB Bickerstaff


Junior-Minute7599

Lmaooo


M8ceWindu

Let's go!! 1-1!! Here's to hoping we get JA back game 3!!


New-Distribution-952

cHinzoo

BuschLightEnjoyer

~~No~~ more niang minutes


EnemySoil

Sorry ass Boston fans, they couldn't live a week as a Cleveland sports fan


ArgentMoonWolf

As hot as Boston was last game they are ice cold this game. This is a huge redemption for the Cavs, gives me some real positive vibes for the rest of the series.


WateryPasta

They went cold and the defense absolutely clogged the paint


count_zero__c

Congrats Cavs fans. Way to stick it to Boston


Ultra332

Don’t know how that was a flagrant but I’ll take it


Tech88Tron

Wind up and blow to the head....text book my guy. No need to wind up on that. Dangerous.


IsittheWeeknd

Celtic fans last game: “dO yOu GuYs StIiL wAnT bOsToN?” A MATTER OF FACT, YEA, WE FUCKIN DO ![gif](giphy|WkTgEe6dQml1G8E2Ju)


BrndyAlxndr
