Yes, we were winning and would have won, he is such a defensive liability.   Green matched up better with us and our guys.

This is true too, though, we lost the game, CLE did not win it, with our performance...That being said LeBron put up huge stats.

i tend to agree .   Love is gonna get 18 and 10  ,  but t he is whimpy otherwise .   His absence put Lebron in extra hyper drive super human one man team mode.  People were WAY to giddy about Love being out .  I felt opposite .   

If we had 100 % Irving play n ....we would have finisfhed them early on in 5 games.  This group just can't score consistent , we relied too much on a 19 and 21 year olds .

I guarantee we win this game if one of Rozier, Smart, or Brown showed up knocking down shots that game, with the already-provided spark from Tatum and Horford.

If those guys shot 25% from 3 The Celtics would've won that game and so many of those shots were wide open....

We lost because of our players not theirs.. Green uncharacteristically played like Jaylen and Jaylen played just like his idol Jeff Green.

Rozier shot so poorly its a freaking outlier.. Oh well.

kevin love was -18 for the series. If you adjust for that and reduce greens 20 pts, we win. Even with the poor shooting
