Celtics down by 41 ... at halftime: 72-31

Meanwhile the Cavs set a record for biggest playoff halftime lead.

This is a disgrace. Celtics should forfeit the rest of the series for playing so horribly today.

Have they started their all out fouling...er...stepped up their defense yet?

The LeBron guy is pretty good for the Cleveland team.

Let's just get to the rubber match. Call both conference finals, start Cavs vs Warriors this Sunday.

This is not a bad idea especially considering the additional 1 week gap between the conference championships and the finals. Why so much waiting time??

Yeah. But it's a shame that Kawhi got hurt. Spurs were DESTROYING the Warriors until the injury.

I think I heard 1Jun is the Finals start date. If both series are four and out, that's a lot of dead air to fill before any Finals games even start. Both teams will be looking at trying for 4-4-4-4.

Zaza intentionally walk under Kawki while he was up and shooting. Trying to re-injure him was intentional. The Warriors have dirtiest players on their team: Green. Zaza. Barnes.

will haywood and fultz make a difference next year?

and this was at Boston

Hayward will help, but as long as LeBron can turn it on like he always does they're not getting past the Cavs. Fultz is a 19 year old kid who will not make a real impact for a few years for them, assuming he's not traded for more "win now" help.

This. For how much crap people are giving the NBA for the Cs not showing up. I think the Cavs need to take some heat for not showing up in the regular season. If you're the #1 seed, then be the #1 seed.

So, saving it for the playoffs and going 10-0 so far is not good enough for you. Okay, whatever.

Too early in his career to tell.

It is good enough. My problem is that the Cs are taking an additional beating by the media for not having enough heart, for not playing like a #1 seed, when they are not a #1 seed. If the Cavs are that good, then be good consistently.The Spurs can do it over a season, the Bulls did it over a season, Lakers, etc. They did not turn it off and on whenever it suited them.

Two things. First, the Celtics aren't playing like a 2 seed either. Second, the Spurs are the pioneers in taking games off.

And yet they still managed to win over 60 games. And play like a top seed.
