Cleveland is not defending the three. Their scheme is to protect the paint. I guess they haven?t been watching how other teams defend the Celtics.

JB with 3 turnovers but has 5 assists and is playing great D.

Shooting reminiscent of the Knicks game. Good looks, everything falling.

Garland 1-14. God bless him

Some of it is Garland just missing, but I do think he's feeling a lot of pressure from White and Jrue.

Also, it feels like the team as a whole was just not ready for this game. Feeling the pressure.

The overall team defense is actually really good!

Smart timeout, can't let Garland make a shot

Nice TO.

Defensive intensity or Cavs will climb back.

A big part of this is Mitchell and Garland just getting completely exposed defensively, too. No other team they've faced thus far can really exploit them like we can, which is simply always going to be a problem when you feature two small, defensive liabilities at guard like Cleveland does.

Okay, guys. No let up. Don't forget this is a NBA Cup game where point differential matters.

Back to wanting Joe fired.

Okay, Queta is killing us defensively. Our defense changed as soon as he came in. And we're back to bad threes.

Queta looks lost tonight.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
