CLEVELAND, OH — The Eastern Conference Finals returned to Cleveland on Saturday night with the Cavs down 0-2 lookin’ to survive the early onslaught of the Celtics heavy hand in Games 1 and 2. The Philistine and Co. needed to win Game 3 just to have any hope of movin’ on. Well playas…they not only won the game but they beat the dog snot out of Boston 116-86.
The Cavs came out of the gate throwin’ haymakers on a boy shootin’ 50 percent from the field and 60 percent from behind the arc in the first quarter. George Hill didn’t waste any time gettin’ Cleveland’s offense to purrin’ as he scored or assisted on their first 9 points. By the end of the openin’ period the team from Northeast Ohio had jumped all over Boston 32-17 with LeBron scorin’ 12 of his 27 points and George Hill droppin’ off 11 of his 13 points.
It was an absolute beatin’ the rest of the way as Boston completely missed the bus like Kris Kross. In the first two games LeBron was literally out there by himself. Ole boy did everything but change the oil on Big Momma’s Deuce and a Quarter to no avail in both games. However, when he pulled up for Game 3 the rest of the team jumped out of the ride with him.
The entire startin’ lineup finished in double figures. Kevin Love added 13 points as inconsistent JR Smith even found 11 points in the sofa to put in the kitty. Tristan Thompson dropped off a solid 10 points and 7 rebounds.
Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! In order for the Cavs to get out of this series they’ve got to be willin’ to help that Philistine. Otherwise, it’s goin’ to be a problem.
Ole Brad Stevens ran into a brick wall in Game 3 when his Young Thunder Cats decided not to show up again on the road in the playoffs. They’re 1-6 in the postseason this year. That’s NUTS!!!
Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 18 points as Terry Rozier followed him with 13. Jalen Brown and Greg Monroe each finished with 10 apiece as Brown stayed in foul trouble all night.
Boston shot a mere 39 percent from the field and a terrible 27 percent from behind the arc. My daddy would say, “They couldn’t hit an elephant in the butt with a base fiddle.” Now it’s 2-1 with the Cavs hostin’ the C’s on Monday night to try to even the series. Only 19 of 300 teams have ever come back to win a playoff series after bein’ down 2-0.
We’ve seen Lebron do it twice already. He did in in 2007 to get to the Finals only to be swept by San Antonio and then in 2016 as his Cavs went on to win the NBA Championship. So sit in the cut and watch this foolishness unfold. Stop me when I start lyin’!

The G is excluded from the endings of all words because the G is near and dear to my heart because I’m from “The G” which is Gary, Indiana. So I only use the G when I’m talkin’ about “The G!”
