Cavs 2023-24

Oh well, they weren't going 82-0. They showed heart coming back, losing to the best team in the NBA. The "challenged" can piss and moan but that loss is not the end of the world or a reason to do silly sh!+ like change the rotation or bench one of the best players in the league for a career journeyman.
 
I hope the Cavs remember how Boston bullied them, with help from the officials, and take it hard to Boston in every future game between the two.
 
One thing that is bothersome is the two guys many feel like shrink in the big moments…Garland and Allen…shrunk tonight. Flush this one, but I don’t want to see it become a trend.
 
I guess the 34 pts against the Knicks and 27 verses Golden State means those were not big games … players have off games … it happens
Yep, but the pressure and intensity was definitely ratcheted up for this game. Boston clearly wanted to make a statement. Like I said, flush it. It’s something to keep an eye on, though.

I will keep an eye on it … but I also have watching him come up big in crunch time all year … until tonight … I think it is a little premature to say he shrinks in pressure moments.

Exactly right.

The defending champs shot an outrageous 54% from 3 point range (22-41) while the Cavs were cold (10-29 = 34%). Yet Boston only wins by 3. Cavs can hold their heads high and if both teams have "normal" shooting nights the Cavs can handle Boston.
 
One thing that is a real factor, though. The way to a Cavs championship is through Boston, like it or not. Boston is a very physical team. The Cavs are more of a finesse team than Boston. It is possible the Cavs are not constructed as is to beat Boston in a seven game series. Only time will tell.
