East Conf. Finals Game 2: Cleveland Cavaliers 94-107 Boston Celtics - 5 Talking Points

#1 Boston's superior depth won them this game, and probably the series

Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics - Game Two

If there is one team full of players capable of making things happen in the manner that Golden State does, it is definitely this Celtics outfit which has executed immaculately whenever they have been tested in these playoffs - especially in the last 10 games. They have the talent to not use any one player as a crutch, and that leaves opponent coaches with nightmares to contend with.

Think about this: Jaylen Brown led the Celtics in scoring for the first quarter with 14 points, then Tatum led them in the second quarter with 9. Rozier's 14-point outburst in Q3 has already been documented, while veterans Marcus Morris, Al Horford and Marcus Smart steered them home in the 4th. Which other teams in the Eastern Conference have this luxury of finding new hot hands on a quarterly basis?

The Celtics' offense is capable of morphing into whatever form they need to in order to win a particular game, thanks largely to the excellence of Brad Stevens at setting up his players in the best possible position to succeed. They've won both games in this matchup, and so far, they are 37-0 in series when they have taken a 2-0 lead, historically.

This team has proved time and again that they are anything but chokers, so one would be hard-pressed to find legitimate reasons as to why they will not enter the NBA Finals for the first time in 8 years this time around.
