champ11 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It was a really bad LeBron game. I expect him to bounce back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 lue should be thrown out of the building if he doesn’t start TT. Playing al horford is literally the only thing he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Also I will continue to stand by my statement that Tatum will be by far the best rookie out of this class. And a future top 5 player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't even looking to score on switches and was just trying to see where the double was going to come. It is clear though, he's going to have to be hitting his mid range jumper this series. The Celtics are going under all the picks and daring him to shoot. Dude couldn't miss a mid range jumper against the Raptors, but couldn't buy one yesterday lol. Really looking forward to game 2. There are certain match up advantages for the Celtics that they will have for the duration of the series. Korver isn't going to be able to guard Brown, Love is going to have problems with Horford and Tatum is going to be tough to stop for JR. LeBron won't like doing this, especially so early in the series, but he may have to guard Tatum and JR may have to check Brown. Or they could just take Korver out of the starting line up and insert Thompson. The spacing will be worse, but at least he could check Horford.

Troy Brown Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 I just don't think Love will be able to guard Tatum or Horford. Not sure if Tatum played the 4 much yesterday but I don't know why he wouldn't. I only caught the 4th quarter. All year, EEI and Sportshub killed Horford for being "average al" and just like last year in the postseason, he plays some of the best ball in his career. Yeah yeah, I don't know why I listen to sports radio either, but Horford clearly goes all out in the postseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I mean, at this point, if the Cavs want to have any chance of winning against Boston/if they beat Boston then probably GS, LeBron NEEDS to play perfectly every single game...and even then, that may not be enough.

J-ALL-DAY Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 You guys played Morris at PF for much of the game. Love won't be able to guard him, and nor should he ever guard him minus being switched out on him. If the Cavs start TT, then it will be interesting to see if the Celtics keep their starting line up from game 1, or do they insert Baynes back in the line up? Because the Cavs will put TT on Horford and Love on Morris, but what do the Celtics do? If they want to start Morris to guard LeBron, do they then put Tatum on TT? Love? Definitely something to watch for next game if the Cavs change their starting line up. Jordan Clarkson doe???? That man is soggy trash yet will still dribble the air out of the ball and chuck up contested fade aways lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 I figure Love would have an easier time guarding Morris given his tendency to bring himself into the post and Tatum's tendency to take guys off the dribble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad. And yeah, I think the Cavs could live with Love on Morris. It's just what happens on the other end. You probably won't want Tatum banging with Love or TT on the boards, so the Cavs may force a line up change with that move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power forward with Jaylen Brown at small forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just now, DoleINGout said: What did Tatum start the year off playing mostly? Shooting guard with Kyrie? Power forward with Jaylen Brown at small forward? He's been primarily a 3 all year with JB at the 2. He's played the 4 with Smart in the game, I think, though.

MookieMonstah Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 This is literally the reason we traded for Marcus Morris. The dude is LOCK DOWN on Lebron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
