Inside the NBA reacts to Cavaliers vs Celtics Game 1 Highlights

Seems like there’s been a lot of disrespectful discourse on Tatum bc he shot poorly (7-19, 18pts), but his rebounding, his assists, hockey assists, blocks, and playmaking rn is on a different level rn. For those that think that of Tatum, just understand that there’s more than just scoring the ball to impact your team to win. I’d rather have Tatum average a cool 22/11/4 and win by 20+ than to have him average 30+ (on probably bad efficiency) and lose in dramatic fashion.

Celtics are so good they are just flying under the radar

Celtics gonna make these first 2 rounds look like the preseason. Meanwhile the Knicks are playing 6 dudes 40+ minutes a night. Easiest path to the Finals in a LONG ass time. Boston vs Minny Finals should be a classic series though.

Tatum is playing smarter this time around in the playoffs, i feel like he's playing possum until they get deeper, then he's going to take over to bring home banner 18. 😊

Derrick White been carrying.

It isn't being talked about enough how much Tatum is having a major impact in other areas outside of just scoring. His decision making and patience offensively has gone next level and he is continuing to make the opponents pay when they double team him. He's sacrificing and he has basically made himself a decoy which is why White and the other shooters has been off the charts so far this playoffs and Brown can get in his bag much easier. Defensively, he's gotten double digit rebounds every game and he is arguably the strongest weak side and help defender in the game right now.

You go to 7 with the Magic… you’re not going anywhere with Boston

Have problems at home? The Celtics have the best home record in the NBA by a lot. Shaq obviously doesn't watch games.

Watching this game it looks like regular season basketball compared to the wolves and okc game lol the defense is definitely different

Keep on rollin’, Celtics … ☘️🏀💪

Wow amazing performance by Boston Celtics and the whole team that has sacrificed so much for their team and their teammates they totally deserved this win by the way they played this game and this game one . If they keep playing like they played this series and elevating their game to adjust to their opponents they will definitely win the championship this year. And it definitely starts with winning the second round of this series Amazing and good job by the whole Celtics on the defense end and the offense end of the floor.This is what the Celtics is supposed to do if they want to keep advancing to the third and the fourth when the NBA championship takes place. And including beating who is awaiting them in the finals.

23-4 without Porzingis

Celtics vs wolves would be crazy

That one loss against the Heat is gonna look like Iverson stealing a game against the unstoppable Lakers in retrospect.

I like this show for many reasons, one of which is they actually talk about the game and the currently important players. They don't just say "hey, Celtics won, but did you hear about LeBron doing XYZ?"

Shaq HATES the C’s and I love it lol

Jrue is the key to celts winning. Hes not flashy and probably not going to score 30 points but he will lock down the opposing offense thus giving the 1,2,and 3 starters their points.

You want to be picky about nicknames - rather than Fireman, it should be Arsonist

Fireman...like Fire Marshall Bill?

Great start boys let’s keep it going now!!!! 🍀🍀🍀
