Drive the ball Tatum. Get something easier.  Go to the FT line.  Something other than bombing away from 3 which clearly isn't working.

Teague and Pritchard too short...easy to shoot over

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

This team just doesn't play cohesively.  Defensively too many breakdowns and overhelping off of the 3 point line.  I can understand being tired from yesterday's game but this is difficult to watch.

Looks like a G-League game.
I suspect G leaguers would play with more effort in the hopes they could get to the NBA and coast like Celtic players

Cleveland is driving hard and kicking out when needed. Meanwhile the Celtics are settling for lazy three pointers. This team needs a shake up badly.

Cavs announcer summed up Tatum this year really well. He said two years ago he was settling for too many outside 2 pointers instead of driving. He said Tatum is doing the same thing this year only he is settling for contested, step back threes.

Dude is spot on.

Let's try Edwards.
