Game 1 | Celtics (0-0) @ Cavs (0-0) | Tuesday, October 17, 2017 | 8:00 PM EST

[TheCity]

Cavs 135

Celtics 79

Too much defense, too deep, too good. No way we lose this game, would put my check on it.

Celtics already lost too much before the Irving trade. This is something people forget; this is not the same Celtics team that won the east. Save Irving and Hayward, this team has been stripped nearly all its' key components, defense. Celts will finish 4th, we will win the east easily

& people need to stop with that Celtic 1st seed/NBA champion contender nonsense. How can you contend when you will not make it out the east?

Nice thread man.

What I learned from this is that Jae and Kyrie are the same height unfortunately and IT is almost as tall as Lebron now.

Operation was a success.

Love the thread, MoFlo.

Have been out of commission for awhile. Looking forward to watching this team for the first time (!). It's going to take me awhile to get used to them.

(Cedi is still on the team. YEAH!!!!!!!!)

Hope everyone appreciated my (pretty bad) attempt to make Boston's lineup a circle, it's only slightly misshapen lol.

I hope LeBron plays it safe. I don’t want him playing at 50% or whatever it would be this early in the regular season.

ppl are really worried about a lebron injury? has he finally gotten old?

 

[Walter White]

Even if LeBron's ankle is decent enough to play, his stamina might be a problem. Not that everyone is in their best NBA game shape yet, but LBJ hasn't played at all while most guys in the league have progressively scaled their minutes up during pre-season.

We need a good full team effort and for the role players to play really well for us to win. This is one of the rare games where LeBron will likely need carried instead. But you never know what might happen, the odds are against him but maybe the adrenaline factor comes in to play.

Dream scenario: Kyrie scores 40 (shooting 30% from the field), Boston loses by 30. LeBron sits on the bench while Cedi shits all over the Celtics with 25 points and 6 threes.

Am I crazy for thinking we'd have a better chance tonight without LeBron? The team has looked good without him and he's rusty.

I'm excited he's playing tonight though because I want him to posterize kyrie off the face of this flat earth.

You're crazy

We got this fellas. Lebron lives for these kind of drama games and the Celtics have no one to guard him whatsoever.
