Not The Best Start I've Ever Seen
I was led to believe Dave was going to get inside Lebron’s head? Instead all I got was missed wide open shots and zero signs of defense. Lebron & Co took the Celtics cold start and laid that beatdown. The good news is, the Celtics know what doesn’t work, like having Olynyk in isolation against Lebron. The second half was encouraging if you ignore the part where CLE probably wasn’t trying that hard, and you have to figure there won’t be another game in which the Celtics shoot 12% from deep for 24 minutes. Plenty of series left.
Either way, yikes. That was in fact not good.
You know though, can’t win in 7 unless you lose 3 times. Remember that!
