more f**cking lazy transition defense!!! how does this consistently occur, joe?!?

[Goldstar88]

Someone needs to give Tatum smelling salts before the 4th starts.

[celticinorlando]

Have to withstand a big Lebron 4th.

[Phantom255x]

I'm already expecting Lebron to heroball and take like 15 shots this quarter lol

[blink]

I hope Joe tells the team that part of that little run was from pushing the ball in transition.  We have been bad in the 1/2 court off today.  It really helps to jump start the offense by getting good shots within the flow of transition.

We’ve not played well for a variety of reasons but this is the important quarter and we’re in with a chance and that’s all they can ask for. Just tighten up on the defensive end again and stop them scoring easy shots and this is winnable

[GetLucky]

Great adjustments by Joe to put Kornet on Westbrook and blow up the Lakers PNR action.

Y'all complain too much 

[radiohead]

I hope JB takes over in the 4th. He’s had a pretty good rest.

Yeah that last basket was frustrating.  We need to have def balance, and not give up dunks in transition.  That is what we should be doing to them.

[jpotter33]

Great run and response, but it's still the same problem - we only play that hard when we're making shots. All that was sparked by the Tatum iso threes going in.

We've seen this problem reoccur the past few years. Ime was finally able to work that out of them by focusing heavily on the defensive end and making them elite down there, which fueled their ability to win games ugly even when the shots weren't going in. That's not the case this year, and we're seeing why that's a problem.

[ozgod]

Smartesque flop by Schroder at least he learned something while he played for theCs

[liam]

BS call!

[jpotter33]

Love the decision to keep Tatum in there to start the fourth.

Then JB's dumb push-off for the firth foul just made it a necessity. Man, his BBIQ may be getting even worse. 

[radiohead]

Wasn’t that a double dribble??

[radiohead]

Lebron did exactly the same push JB did. Go figure.
