Horford played 28 minutes tonight. Not so hard.

And I haven't really trashed Mazzulla much at all lately, I think he's improved in a number of areas. Including tonight, he was playing Horford too many minutes and he corrected that. Of course he had a choice.

I see he played 39. Either way he has to play.

I don't really understand your post. He played 28. Of course he has to play, but smarter usage last night.

My bad. Read the wrong box score.

Minnesota is done. Maybe this will quiet the 'Edwards is the greatest player in the universe' noise a bit.

Great counterpunch from Denver. I'd love to see Minnesota respond and bring this to 7 though

With a healthy Murray, Denver is the better team.
Remains to be seen if he ?stays healthy, but if so, its a C's/ Nuggets Final which is what we always thought anyway.

No fnnn around tonight with the cavs. Win convincingly and take care of business.. the Knicks- Pacers is likely going 7 games.. let the beat up Knicks team wear down. Rest up and hopefully get KP back next round. Would I be not suprised for this team to lose tonight and make it hard on themselves ? No.

He runs his mouth alot.. he's been a great player to watch but he literally has done nothing as far as rings... he talks like he has them. Mike never talked like this kid does. That what happens when your 22.

Denver has that championship mentality. Hard to ever count them out. If we get to the finals and see them it's a bad match up for us.. Joker will have 40 each game.

If Mitchell and Lavert are both out tonight, it's gonna take will for the C's to play hard all game. It's human nature.
It's also an elimination game for Cavs so you know regardless of who's on the floor they will keep fighting tooth and nail.
This is not a game to rest any starters including Big Al- you go out and destroy them and never let your foot off the gas
until you're up by 40+ with 5 mins to go.
If I'm Mazzulla, that's what I'm doing.
Give them no hope. Every starter goes 35 mins. That way they'll earn a rest fir next series.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Like mortal combat. FINISH THEM!! lol

I mean really, this is the post season. It's human nature of course but you don't need to have an unnecessary game 6.. you then could loose and now you in a game 7.. when a teams on championship run it takes things to break for them.. it's happening for the Cs.. no Julius Randle, no OG, if we let Brunson go bonkers on us and drop 40 a game then guess what we deserve what we get. This team is championship ready get it done Cs!!

I’d like to see White bounce back from his last game and Horford get around 12 points / 8 rebounds.

The way White was walking after turning his ankle, I wonder if he's even playing tonight?

Possibly but he’s not on the injury report. Game starts in 30.

This is exactly what I was worried about.. they don't have any sense of urgency defensively.. this is an elimation game. They are down 3 key guys..

 

[raduray]

This Game 5 offense seems to be four guys standing around watching the fifth dribble around and heaving it for a trey attempt.

Big Al…I take that back.

 

[aluminum seats]

Celtics took care of business. Strong games from Horford and White, and good all-around game from Tatum. Now they can rest

 

[Kdo5]

Was at the game what a night for Al. He was absolutely amped. Amazing energy. Tatum put forth a strong effort too and the rest of the guys had their moments here and there.

 

[Kdo5]

Gonna root for the Knicks to win. I don’t think they are even a better team than the Cavs (w/Mitchell). On paper we should win in 5 again. They have less depth than the Cavs especially if they are also banged up.
