Celtics (3-1) at Cavs (4-0) Game #5 11/3/16

[alldaboston]

we're gonna get angry LeBron tomorrow. He can't be happy about the World Series.

You realize he has been a Yankees fan for the last 15 years. This is typical Lebron nonsense. He could care less about the indians

he's actually a Yankees fan? wow, i did not know that. i dont follow baseball a whole lot, but when i saw the clip of him cheering the indians on after the HR, i thought he was a huge fan.

First real test of the season.

You don't think the Bulls are a real test?

People keeping underestimating them.

First real test of the season.

"Real test"= 2nd night of a Back to Back while we're missing Horford, Crowder, Olynyk, and both Smart and Bradley are either fighting off injury or just returning from injury?

Sounds like a way unfair test to me.

maybe there is a curve?

Time for Green and Jerebko to step up!
Jerebko very disappointing so far, was it the same for him last year? i think i recall slow start from him.

One of two things happens tonight.  Either the Cavs string them along till the 2nd half when LeBron turns it on for about 4 minutes and puts us away - or (my fear) the Cavs want to send a little message and it's over early - in which case get ready for extended runs by James Young and Mickey. Fact that it's on national TV makes me think the latter happens. 

Either way, no big deal because last night was a real nice win.  One out two in this stretch is fine.

Just looked it up and yes pretty much:

Was hoping he would roll into this year with the offense and rebounding he showed off in the late season and postseason last year.

Green is playing well... he will have those 8-10 pt games...but right now he is playing like a savvy vet

Jerebko on the other hand is bad...yes his team play /hard work is there but his shot is brutal... he has missed so many open jump shots...he needs to make 1000 shots after games to fine tune his stroke

I really really hope the C's can somehow pull this one off. Odds are super stacked against it happening but it would be sooooo great if it happened.

Jaylen is starting...against Bron. Good luck, kid.

With Zeller still or someone else?

 Geeze, throwing the kid straight into fire. It would be awesome to see him posterize James, though.

Looks like Stevens is mainly starting him to keep Smart running the second unit. He really doesn't have faith in that second unit, huh?

Stevens also said Crowder looked much better today, but it's probably closer to two weeks he'll be out, which is what most assumed. That sucks though because we have a back to back against the Knicks and Pacers next Friday and Saturday.
