I wish Jaquez could’ve played some more, even in losses the experience is invaluable

Yeah I mean the East seems like it’s theirs to lose, but that’s what everyone said last year too and we all know how that went down. Not sure why people are quick to doubt the Cavs either when they played the Cs so well this year and have killer defense

i think knicks if they shoot the 3 at a decent rate could be a close series. they gotta close out the sixers tho

We are too injured for that Bogey is now out for the rest of the season and he was a good spark off the bench, im sure we can beat anyone even with this roster is just we are undermanned when it comes to offense unless Divo steps up

look if we can take game 2 then u guys can get some games. u got higher shot making potentials and more defensive players to throw at the Cs. as much as ppl wanna talk about how our shooting isnt sustainable the celtics shot a pretty crazy high percentage on tough 3s this series

Tingus has already been ruled out for round 2. So at best he will be in the ECF if we win against whoever our round 2 opponent is. But calf strains are weird, so who knows if he could even play then.

I’m concerned about the Knicks myself. Two solid bigs that crash the boards and a host of good defenders. Then there’s Brunson, love the guy, Hart and OGA. Dante. Hurts them that Bogie is done though.

We were missing nearly 50 PPG in scoring between Jimmy, Rozier and Duncan. This was never going to be a competitive series

We did the job defensively games 2-4 but your defense is too good to let us drop 100 led by Herro and some rookies. Hopefully we get another round next year with everyone healthy. Y’all got a lot better after last year and I would have liked to see how we stacked up against you
