Cavs vs Celtics Was A Basketball Chess Match

25 comments

1. Celtics addicted to heat checks. Tatum was hot but continued to chuck all 3rd. Several times he would normally pass

2. The non JT minutee smoked the Celtics, everytime he checked out they couldn’t do anything

3. It's so refreshing seeing teams that are good enough to play out chess matches like this. Thanks for the breakdown. I hope these teams match up in the ECF.

4. I think and I’ll continue to say, I think if Garland keeps killing how he’s been killing all year. He’s the factor that’ll make the difference for every single series they play. Him and Evan.

5. Thank you, I was baffled why Boston was hunting DPOY Evan Mobley. Couldn't quite see the open space in the paint for what it was. Great video, super helpful analysis.

6. JT was balling this game, no doubt, but it feels like every time you froze to break down his moves he was mid push-off

7. You said that the Celtics hit the first 7/9 3's & that your just not combatting math like that. Except the Celtics lost in spite of that silly math argument…!!

8. Any Boston loud mouths wanna talk about the officiating or the bloody injuries? Didn't think so. Cavs will find a way to beat you.

9. How you didn’t include Dean Wade not give up the switch and forced Jaylen Brown to play him 1 on 1, that was a HUGE Possession down the stretch.

10. it finna be knicks vs Celtics not Cavs buddy

11. Idk that lineup of all 40% 3 pt shooters is really dangerous and interesting

12. If Celtics healthy in the playoffs it’s a sweep ngl

13. kornet cant shoot anymore? damn what happened

14. Man, this bit is straight gold, no lie, I’m loving it.

15. 7 of theur first 9 3's… That's not hapoening every game… The Cavs xoming back & winning is the reason they be blowing teams out… Their offense is consistent and efficient.. Even when their shots are not falling, they stay within range because their offense isn't being stopped… Pretty much seeing the same weapons… Only difference this year is Atkinson & his pace of play… The Cavs are young legs… It's why they're only averaging 30 minutes per starter… They play hard suring those minutes… They're moving, they're switching playing team ball… Even when folks think Mitchell is playing hero ball, it's still within the flow of the offense… Offensive stars of the opponents are going to have to play defense to even disrupt the Cavs offense, which tires them out by the 4th quarter…💯💯💯

16. Cavs OKC Celtics

    1 of these will be champions in June

17. Watched this game and man all of the criticism Ive seen about the modern NBA simply falls away. These teams are so good and its so entertaining, the level of ball movement, shooting, and coaching is insanely impressive from both teams. I think we're in for an incredibly special Eastern Conference playoffs this year.

18. Jaylen Brown BREAKDOWN you're next video Hoop Venue 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

19. Donovan Mitchell vs. the Jays 🔥🔥🔥🔥

20. Also, the refs locked up JB

21. Cavs showijg some sign that they sweep the celtics anytime in playoffs

22. Cavs will 100% live with a ton of the shots Tatum took this game. he’s amazing so he might make you pay, but I think the Cavs actually WANT to bait him into these ISOs against Garland or one of the bigs (i also think the Cavs still straight up trust Mobley to guard him well going forward). Celtics still get fairly good offense on average and great offense when Tatum is on one, but it’s the most palatable poison of the options available.

23. I love almost everything u had to say but a couple of things bother me. Yes hauser got scored on multiple times( By top iso scorers) but if you actually watched this game with your eyes, Hauser had WAY MORE possesions of him displaying great defense. So can we stop with this narrative of he cant play defense? Ofc you are gonna get scored on if they hunt you every possesion! And aslo, its not because a shot was missed that it means that it was a great possesion by the defense and a bad one by the offense. For exemple, tatum misses a shot he can make 50% of the time and you say its because of the cavs great defensive scheme…. Stop it lol. You were wondering why Kornett was being played and i dont mind you not understanding because he didnt show his play this game but normally, kornett is really good at playing the short roll out of a high screen but since they were just switchingon fighing over these screens he didnt have to play that role. Also u said he was liability because he sits in the dunker wich could be less effective than our 5 out, but usually if his man saggs off and helps he catches it for a dunk. They were multiple occasions where he could have have received an alley but sadly didnt get his chance. Sorry for spilling everything i disliked about this lmao, but still a very great analysis for people who say todays NBA is just about chucking 3s lol!

24. By the looks of it celtics can beat the cavs if they dont lose focus and get to comfortable thinking they already won, it should be a celtics playoff series win when they faced each other

25. Thank you so much, I really benefit from this thorough breakdown as I can't watch the games as a european C's fan. Really hoping for a healthy Porzingis and Jrue, our bench can't hold up against a Mobley + bench lineup.
