Smaht just made Luka look silly!

Hauser isnt athletic but is a smart defender. Luka isnt that athletic so its not so much a mismatch

Yes I love how Hauser stays with it on def and plays smart, doesn’t go for fakes, plays within himself.

Jaylen taking over

This is a game both Tatum and especially JB should dominate. He can get by any defender they throw at him and there's nothing at the rim to challenge him.

Jaylen has had some strong finishes

This is what I’m talking about. Strange that the Cs are just totally butt cheeks against the Bulls specifically (and CLE in OT)

[slamtheking]

Hauser looks like he's rushing his shot this game when he's had time to shoot comfortably

[celticinorlando]

Going inside at will and now they start jacking 3s

excellent patience by Brogdon for that last bucket

[liam]

WOW, great energy tonight!

He's such a high IQ guy. We needed it.

Both of those teams are significantly bigger down low. Without Timelord we're pretty thin down low, which puts us at a disadvantage against those bigger teams. Dallas has no bigs whatsoever.

I think Cleveland's games would've ended differently if we had Timelord.

Yes MB has a nack for attacking under control and finding the secondary cutter.  Smart is good at that too.  Both attack the rim and vacate the lane and then find the quick dive cut.
