Is Baynes hurt? Why start Morris over him?
Morris starting...as expected.
Baynes will likely mirror Thompson's minutes.

Baynes will come off the bench. I'm assuming that he changed the lineup for matchup puposes. Horford matches better with Love while Baynes matches better with Thompson.

Marcus Smart has a sore ring finger on his shooting hand, per source. Described as swollen and painful but not bad enough to stop him from playing.

Unfortunate, but if it's prevents Smart from shooting early shot clock 3's or from having more FG attempts than Horford, then it may not be such a bad thing after all.

FWIW, I'm optimistic enough that I'm flying from Seattle to Boston for Game 2.
Mark Jackson is calling the game? Ugh
So not only do we worry about it being 5 vs 8 but now we have to sit through the Three Stooges on the commentary? ::) ::)
How do you people even use this forum? I get "connection problems" constantly. Half the time pages take ages to load. It's insufferable. Since when has this forum ran like complete trash?
Anyways... By tradition, I'm obligated to say we're doomed and have no chance. They crushed us last year and it'll probably be more of the same with King James. Arguably the greatest player of all time.
That said, I could see us avoiding a sweep. Cavs are worse without Kyrie. Across the board, I can see our current group as an upgrade over last year's playoff roster.
Scary Terry > Marcus Smart (Isaiah was injured in the ECF last year)
Jaylen Brown > Avery Bradley (Might be underselling Avery here. It's probably more even, but Jaylen's size is a big deal)
Tatum >>> Crowder (not even close... Tatum is head and shoulders better than Crowder)
Morris/Baynes > Olynyk/Amir (Again, I might be underselling Olynyk's contributions last season, but this seems like an upgrade)
Horford = Horford
That closes the gap a bit. But only a bit. Far superior teams have tried and failed to stop LeBron.
FWIW, I'm optimistic enough that I'm flying from Seattle to Boston for Game 2.
At the game. They just showed a great two-minute video of all the ESPN announcers throughout the season talking about how the Celtics were done for the year. Really well done.
Meanwhile, the guy next to me in the first row still hasn’t shown up. Neither have the two behind them. ::)

This is a strange Cavs lineup.
crown n coke
next game
We didn't make changes because we lost to the Cavs, we made them because we had to to get Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving
For the love of God, can we stop freaking switching everything on the perimeter? They're slowly walking into the screens; it's not like you can't fight around that. Stop giving them easy mismatches!
THAT'S A CHARGE.

Yet another lazy switch leads to a Love score off the mismatch.
THAT'S A CHARGE.
Yup, he was in control and had his spot. Lebron ran him over.
T-Ro!
This is an incredibly slow-paced game so far. Does that benefit or hurt us? I think a faster game benefits us against Cleveland.
I like our start so far, let's keep this up!
Good start, honestly. The Celtics don't seem intimidated at all.

With this Cavs lineup lacking interior defense, Horford posting up Love is probably a good look.
Love can't get close to defending Horford
T-Ro!
This is an incredibly slow-paced game so far. Does that benefit or hurt us? I think a faster game benefits us against Cleveland.
I tend to agree, but preventing them from getting any easy points makes Lebron work more on each possession. It's a trade off
Good start.
Honestly I feel like we could get layups or draw fouls every time down the court as long as we keep driving. Love can't play defense.
Good start, honestly. The Celtics don't seem intimidated at all.
We're playing with house money. We're not supposed to be here. We're not supposed to win.
We should be real loose all series long. And thats an advantage.

If we keep dominating them inside like this, we're going to drive LeBron to join Embiid this Summer.
BALLIN!!!!I’m thrilled with this start. Cavs are ice cold and disorganized on offense.
Smart + Semi sub in at the same time. Hopefully our offense doesn't fall apart.
We are straight up overpowering these guys. Keep it up!

PLEASE.
What if they also trade Fultz, #10 and Covington for Kawhi?If we keep dominating them inside like this, we're going to drive LeBron to join Embiid this Summer.
Maybe then they won't get swept when we add Kyrie and Hayward.
Uncle Snooze got a rebound. Of course he had to push Brown off to do it, because we all know from first hand experience that he doesn't rebound.
We are straight up overpowering these guys. Keep it up!

Because they're older and slower. My god, we're gonna get to the Finals aren't we. This is amazing.

Incredible start, but you can never feel comfortable when LeBron James is on the other team.
Wow, I am beyond excited!!
go pop a bottle of wine
i have us covered on the beer and rum side
We are not scared!
My one gripe with Tatum, its so obvious when he going to shoot. He's not a Pierce level ISO player yet. He needs to learn to score within the flow of the offense.
Brown is kicking butt
Brown is kicking butti think cleveland may not have anyone who can guard him.
We punched them in the mouth. Now let’s knock them out.and dont forget to kick them when they are down too. ;D
Korver and J.R. have missed three good looks between them. Korver especially won't waste those opportunities further. But the defense has been outstanding in general.
On offense, I haven't been unhappy with a single Celtics' shot. Did anyone notice we didn't get a long two from Morris?
Incredible start, but you can never feel comfortable when LeBron James is on the other team.
Welcome to Boston!!! What a quarter-Lets keep foot on pedal in 2nd!!Agree 100%. Stay focused on the defensive end.
We punched them in the mouth. Now let’s knock them out.
wow. just joined the game a few minutes ago.
my god, how the hell did the cavs beat toronto???? :o

great great start and great game plan by CBS. ;D

Yeah, where the folks who compare Brown to Jeff Green? This is a great game to see the massive difference!
I mean seriously, you can never count out LeBron to just flip a switch and eat us alive, but I genuinely felt Philly was a better team. We have a chance to avoid the sweep.
My one gripe with Tatum, its so obvious when he going to shoot. He's not a Pierce level ISO player yet. He needs to learn to score within the flow of the offense.
LOL.......he is barely 20 yrs old.

Green is Brown without the relentless fire and desire to improve.
Great, great start. But they can't let the foot off the pedal for even a minute. Gotta stay focused.
That's said, you can really see the difference in our athleticism again their older players. It was only when Cleveland put in some of their younger guys that they stemmed the tide.
Absolutely true- Brown is super smartBrown is kicking butt

Lebron was coasting this quarter It will be much different as the games continue.
Is it crazy to think Al has been the MVP of the playoffs thus far? Dude has been so good on both sides of the ball for us.
refs helpin them out
Man it’s fun to think about 12 years of Brown and Tatum playing together.
Lue is a terrible coach. Thompson always kills us when he plays. Why he isn't starting and playing more is beyond me. They have zero defense when Love is at center.
tatum mom..hmmYa’ know, I saw that right away when he was drafted. ;). Everybody loves Brandy.
kinda cute

Just to re-iterate.....
DO NOT TRADE TATUM AND BROWN!!!!!!!
Jaylen, you're a star!
holy cow, the raptors must suck
61-35
now that's a statement. This isn't Last year's Celtics team that choked facing lebron
I still stand by my projection... C's in 4
Jaylen, you're a star!
Jaylen and Jason are monsters!
she looks like she's as old as tatum!tatum mom..hmmYa’ know, I saw that right away when he was drafted. ;). Everybody loves Brandy.

Celtics are killing these guys off the dribble. Only counter for that - apart for hustling more for Cleveland is to play zone.
holy cow, the raptors must suck
Why can’t it be the Celtics are great? What does it benefit Cs for the Raptors to suck?
WOW! Got out of church and saw they had a 20-point lead, and now it's 26!! Crazyyyyyy!!!jaylen brown has risen
This could well be the end of an eraIt’s only the first half but I am starting to believe this team might do it. The 6er were the hottest team in the league and we took them out in 5 and it should been a sweep if it weren’t for the 8 on 5 in game 4. Keep the pedal to the medal in the second half.
Terrific first half, PLEASE don't let them back in it with stupid shot selection after halftime. Our defense has been outstanding and LeBum looks frustrated as hell
Pretty unbelievable how bad these guys are on defense. Smart taking Clarkson at will.what about offense? They're like 0-12 from 3 lol. Maybe our defense is that good
can't the celtics be great and the raptors suck?holy cow, the raptors must suck

Way too early. Even if the celts win this one, all Cleveland has to do is win the next one and they’re in the drivers seat. And didn’t Indiana also win game one handily, in Cleveland?This could well be the end of an eraIt’s only the first half but I am starting to believe this team might do it. The 6er were the hottest team in the league and we took them out in 5 and it should been a sweep if it weren’t for the 8 on 5 in game 4. Keep the pedal to the medal in the second half.
I have to wonder which one of their players Cavs fans hate the most. Love? JR Smith? Clarkson?
Jaylen Brown learned a lot facing LeBron last year in the ECF. He is really stepping up.This could well be the end of an eraIt’s only the first half but I am starting to believe this team might do it.

They had a couple of open looks but the ball doesn’t always go in. I expect the Cavs to play better in the second half but I don’t expect Lebron to exert to much energy unless the game gets close. He will be gearing up for game 2.Pretty unbelievable how bad these guys are on defense. Smart taking Clarkson at will.what about offense? They're like 0-12 from 3 lol. Maybe our defense is that good

Some folks here are still posting scared....like Cs should not expect to win.i know. it almost makes this thread unreadable at times. The celtics are doing everything right, running the cavs off the court, dominating on defense and coaching...and some posters are like chicken little.
I would caution that it's one game so I wouldn't read a ton into the current score. Cavs have been a no-show so far - both on defense and LeBron offensively. LeBron will show up eventually - Cavs defense I would imagine will improve - it can't get any worse.
What do we want to fix in the 2nd half?
I want to see less smart pull up 3s. He bricked a few. Also didn't like baynes mid range. He had a lane to drive. Nitpicks
Some folks here are still posting scared....like Cs should not expect to win.Guilty. One great half doesn’t a series make. But yeah, couldn’t ask for a better start.

Cavs have been a no-show so far - both on defense and LeBron offensively. LeBron will show up eventually - Cavs defense I would imagine will improve - it can't get any worse.
What do you mean no show? You think they are trying to suck or Cs are making them suck?
2nd half: Take care of the ball, keep playing tough defense.What do we want to fix in the 2nd half?
I want to see less smart pull up 3s. He bricked a few. Also didn't like baynes mid range. He had a lane to drive. Nitpicks
Yeah I agree, less marcus smart 3's and more aggressive marcus smart posting up and taking it to the rim.
they are definitely talentedcan't the celtics be great and the raptors suck?holy cow, the raptors must suck

Being mentally strong is the difference between being a great team or just a good team.
I'm not sure why people think Toronto isn't talented, they are. But they're mentally weak. Boston is not, this why they are so much better.
(https://media1.tenor.com/images/385e54387be17230df05afe72cedd535/tenor.gif?itemid=8669653)
Too much, too early. The Pacers had a similar lead at halftime in Game 3, last year, and ultimately, it meant nothing, so we have to come out and jump them in the third quarter, otherwise we could very well suffer the same fate, imo.
It's so gracious of the refs to start their biased stuff in the half to keep viewers watching. It's so ridiculous the favoritism that James gets. That late "foul" on Tatum was matched in its ridiculousness by the "charge" that James took on Tatum moments later.
Here comes the Cavs push. We gotta play smart, hold strong, and shut it down from the start

Call TO
CALL A TO BRAD. momentum is shofting u can feel it
Cavs punching back. Have to weather this and make good decisions. Go to the rim, get the 4th foul on Love.
We're playing now with ZERO energy. This can't continue.It's hard to keep up the intensity they've had for an entire game - especially with the crowd assuming the game's over.
almost half way through the quarter and the cavs have scored a total of 4 more points than the celtics. not a worry yet.
CBS will get things in order, celtics will play good defense again and take better shots.
Out of breath after half time speeding run to store! Come on Celtics!!🍷

He's been sloppy with the dribble bringing the ball up this half too.

GIVE IT TO HORFORD SO HE CAN DRAW THE 4TH FOUL ON LOVE.good point. the celtics need to drive to the basket more in general this quarter.
We’re at the stage of the game that one more surge by the celts should do it. A surge by the Cavs will make us sweat a bit.

Whose idea is it to put Smart with primary D on Love?
not crazy about lead getting cut- we need to keep pushing-
28 point lead cut to 14. terrible just terrible

as always playing 4 quarters is a huge problem for this teamHow many quarters have the Cavs played? Remember, two teams on the floor.
The cavs won a playoff game last year down 25... lebron and love has been there before
as always playing 4 quarters is a huge problem for this teamThe other team doesn't suck. They were terrible in the first half but they also swept Toronto and have 2 guys the Celtics have never been able to guard.
Awful awful end to the quarter. Love comes alive with LBJ on the bench. Then, no awareness of the 2-for-1, then a terrible job on the O boards leading to a Cavs buzzer beater. Terrible sequence
14 - 8 fouls now ::) We're still attacking the rim as much as Cleveland, yet we don't get the same calls.

I should get over biased, unbalanced officiating? Okay...

do we have amnesia now?
No, we have throat spasms. Gotta massage them away with some aggressiveness and stop playing the score.
TP, just because I like the way you put that.
I wouldn’t say not. Just not smart.Smart just threw that one at basket
I would've thrown my remote at my tv if he missed that. Ridiculously dumb shot.
Thompson's play has really declined since Kardashian
Mark Jackson is so jealous of good coaches.
Did they just call that?
Lol Tatum gets 0 respect from the refs.And when he finally gets it he might be near unstoppable
Marcus Morris has played a very critical role today. Great decision by Brad to start him.
Marcus Morris has been exactly what we need today.
Wow, terrific defense by Smart on Hood. Denied him at every turn.Hood had nowhere to go.

Jayson Tatum is sick in the 4thlove it
Brown 1st half
Tatum 2nd half
Marcus Morris has been exactly what we need today.
The hilarious thing about the James foul on Morris is that James fouled him like 3 times before they finally called that push in the back.I saw that, he was grabbing him the whole way!
LeBron was hoping to initiate that old Miami Heat hack 'n 'dunk strategy.

amen
marcus has went to rim today unreal
You bet LeBron is now thinking about saving his energy for Game 2.

Kleenex for Cavs bench and Lue- Welcome to Boston- We are not scared!
oh woe is us!!! lebron doesnt respect 14 points and will beat our butts!!!! ;D
does lebron respect 28 point leads with 7 minutes left in the game???
celtics win this one folks!!!!! not much longer for gino and yabusele to appear!!!! ;D
You bet LeBron is now thinking about saving his energy for Game 2.
What a dominant performance by the Celtics!!!
Cavs should be very worried.
This has been an interesting rotation today. Brad has only played 8 guys, and Semi only has 9 minutes. I'm guessing we'll see this type of shortened rotation from here on out.

Btw James was a -32 today
Think Bronny is done for the day. I wonder how espn is going to construe his statline today
Btw James was a -32 todayso Ben simmons really is the next lebron james
You bet LeBron is now thinking about saving his energy for Game 2.
Lebron will have his big games- his fear is that the rest of team wont-
Morris and everyone have risen up today- Great tone to set- Couldn’t be prouder of this team!
Horford now 2-15 in playoffs against Lebron!!
2-4 with Celtics. 0-11 with ATL.
;D
Cavs can shoot but they can't guard anyone.
That smart shot might have been one of worst shots ever!
NADER U FRICKING MORON
LEARN TO PASS!
IF U CANT PASS PUT IN YABU! LOL
Nader is in. We had a 100% chance of winning prior to that but now that might be in question.
The bradley for Morris trade that no one cared about last summer suddenly looks like highway robbery
Is the game really over? 3 minutes down 20I agree..its a little early
Come on Nader. Do SOMETHING right.he heard you
BRING ON THE WARRIORS!!!
I love watching Clarkson hog the ball. He put up big numbers in LA but I don't find him to be a winning type of player. Glad he's on the Cavs.I remember on a Lowe Post, Zach Lowe just said something along the lines of: "I think Jordan Clarkson is just a bad basketball player." This was a while back too, like 2016-ish. I agree, he's not a guy who can contribute to winning unless he's on absolute fire - which isn't often.

Cleveland may have to start Thompson in game two. They need his offensive rebounding.
lol Marc Jackson is not a happy camper.

Yeah, it's amazing how futile Lue is. Love at Center is simply not a viable option. Just not enough defense on the interior, and he simply can't guard Al out on the perimeter, too.

3 wins away from the Finals!!
3 wins away from the Finals!!that was last year for us too. We gotta step on the gas pedal now. Last year we let go, I know IT was hobbled but yeah
one down, three to do.
tps for all you guys and gals on a great victory. ;D
Biggest thing to draw from this game: Cavs suck at defending the paint. I hope the Celtics continue to do it all series.
3 wins away from the Finals!!
It's crazy but let's get them !!
Makes me wonder how bad Toronto played against the Cavs. Shows how important mental strength is
I don't want this feeling to end.

cool rap bout us!!
Barkley
“Celtics got their 1 and expect Cavs to win by 20 next four in a row”
The studio experts save Paul Pierce are still in full doubt mode..
Lebron James has been to 8 straight finals. Its hard to bet against him down 1-0 in a series.
That was the best The Celtics have looked so far in the playoffs. A huge part of that is how bad the Cavs are at defense!

I wish Semi would get his feet set better. He's still rushing his shot even after a full season of experience.
He has a good, short and compact stroke. Needs to work on the footwork.
Interesting comment from Mike Gorman saying that LeBum spent most of the first half yelling at his teammates and by the third quarter seem to have become apathetic to it all. Hopefully this defeat creates a little bit of a wedge in the Cavs
Wow. Lebron a minus 32 today

Mike's observant. I saw the same thing including the 3rd quarter. LJ pointing fingers at other players isn't going to help the Cavs during this series.

There's a thread about why it's difficult to enjoy watching him play. This is exactly why I find it difficult.
Props to the team. Came out with great energy and poise. Destroyed them on both ends.indeed, if the celtics can go at least 7-6 over the next 13 games, they win the championship. ;D
We have seven more wins to get this season. Keep rolling!

Cavs have won many series when down 1-0...I'm just happy we have some Muscle this year---Was so DONE with weak K.O./Zeller/Amir.

Well.... I went on a day trip with my wife, who was not aware there was a game today (she is a serious non-sports fan and oblivious to everything sports related) -- opted for a nice Mother's Day rather than the game. Not resentful to my wife at all -- actually had a great day -- but a little peeved that Game 1 had to be on Mother's Day. Anyway, just got home thinking I may catch the last minute and saw the score. Wow -- I think I would have been smiling all game long.Most complete game C's have played this year. Cavs were stunned...
If anyone has a minute to give me your synopsis -- who played well? Any surprises? Was it a start to finish blowout? Did Cavs threaten at any point? Did the C's game plan well v. LBJ and take him out of his game, or did he just have an off game? Broadcasters blame it on Cavs rust -- any credit to the C's???

Cavs were ice-cold and disprganized on offense. C’s played LBJ one-on-one and it paid off. CAvs got within 14 in the 3rd quarter but was a blowout otherwise.Well....

The C's jumped ahead early and didn't really look back. They had a disappointing 3rd quarter where the Cavs cut the lead from 28 to 14, but then the C's opened the 4th on a 7-0 run, and at one point it was 18 points for the C's to 4 points for the Cavs in the 4th quarter. The Cavs waved the white flag shortly after.
Brown had a dominant 1st quarter (13 points) and was an absolute beast almost the entire game. There was a play where he had to guard Kevin Love in the post, held his ground well and made a fantastic block on him, then went got the ball in transition and drained a long 2 in Korver's face.
Tatum came alive in the 2nd half. Made some impressive isolation 3's right in the faces of Cavs defenders. He played well.
MM was huge. He hit some big 3 pointers that stopped some runs by the Cavs. He was a big reason we started the 4th on the 7-0 run which basically iced the game.
Horford had a beast 1st half and absolutely torched Kevin Love. Underrated Al doing what he does.
Overall the C's planned very well. Their ball movement and athleticism was too much for the Cavs' weak defense, especially with Love at center. Our defense was outstanding - our communication, switches, and spacing was excellent. We forced LeBron into either making bad passes or setting for a lot of long jumpers (he went 0-5 from 3). He had an off game but we had something to do with that. As far as the announcers, Van Gundy was giving our team a lot of props and said multiple times that he picked the C's to win and thinks that we're the better team overall.

The studio experts save Paul Pierce are still in full doubt mode..
Lebron James has been to 8 straight finals. Its hard to bet against him down 1-0 in a series.

Pierce will always think of himself as a Celtic.
look at these fools...Lebron shot himself in the foot etc.
No credit to the Celts for shutting him down.

I've learned to just quit watching Undisputed or First Things First (Nick Wright... ugh) when it comes to Celtics vs. Lebron.
Fox Sports is just full of Celtics haters and Lebron huggers.
ESPN is actually pretty objective and give the C's credit as well as acknowledge they are the future in the East (The Jump, First Take, Get Up).
