NBA Twitter rips Cavaliers for their 25-point BLOWOUT loss in Game 1 at Boston

I think it's time we stop calling the Boston Celtics undermanned. Yes, only 7 players amount for more than 90% of their key stats - points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.

Coming into the series, everybody expected this to be a competitive series but the Boston Celtics had other ideas. They second-seeded C's blew out LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 by 25 points to improve to 8-0 at home in these Playoffs.

Who would have expected the Cavaliers to lose by 25 in Game 1, right after they had swept the top-seeded Toronto Raptors? Surely, nobody.

Well, this loss led to some hilarious reactions on Twitter:

The one encouraging sign for Cleveland is that LeBron didn't take off his jersey on his way to the locker room.

Ojeleye just barely got the ball across halfcourt at the end there before the 8-second violation. Would’ve been an embarrassing turnover to end this game.

Ante Zizic is the only player involved in the Kyrie Irving trade to see minutes in Game 1 👀

LeBron throwing out that fake effort on defense. You can’t fool me. I invented that.

LeBron James with a playoff-high seven turnovers already. He had eight total turnovers in four games against the Raptors.
