Go to the rim good things will happen

Kornet has been phenomenal.  Good contest to make Mitchell miss that layup and create a transition opportunity for the C's.

It was an interesting sub by Joe.  I thought X was looking good.

Cavs can’t guard Boston

This series will only be close if Boston turns it over, gives Cleveland extra possessions and the cavs hit a lot of 3s

You can already tell they don't have an answer defensively for the Jays.

JT is predictably invisible to start so not sure how you can say that

Like, do you even watch the games or just box score watch? Like virtually everyone does against us now, they're selling out their defense to stop Tatum, which allows the others like JB to cook their man individually. Outside of the one dumb three, he's played very well and make great decisions thus far - now completing an and-one.

Cool he’s being guarded like every good player of all time. He has to be significantly better then he’s been so far these playoffs, period.

Yeah, Tatum! Despite (a) averaging 22, 10.5, and 5.5 with less than 2 TOs per game, (b) having an ORTG of 121, DRTG of 111, and a NRTG of 10.0, (c) an On/Off Rating of 19.0 (!), and (d) your team winning a five game series by +78 points, you should make worse decisions and force your shot more despite what the defense is giving you - because apparently all that matters is how many points you put up, ya bum!

Luke had a great dump off pass to JT for a jam as well.   He is a good passer.

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Indocelts]

come on Jrue and JT, this team from Clev is worn out from that last series, make them WORK on def.
No more dribble up quick 3s.  We can get way better shots than that, but it totally lets the Cavs off the hook with requiring them to expend energy.  MAKE them guard us, tire them out!!

agreed

The only black mark on our offense is those quick 3s. Tatum and White combines for those 4 missed 3s.

I like the way Joe is using his bench.  It's working...
