Going to need KP and Jrue to pick up their scoring tonight.

I?m thankful for a non-Cup game. Hate those floors but the Bulls red floor was the worst, couldn?t see the ball very well.

[SCeltic34]

Awful start.

[jpotter33]

Come on, Jrue. Terrible shot selection two trips in a row.

They look much more engaged and energetic on both ends to start the game than us. Typical.

Bad start...

[Neurotic Guy]

Pretty bad start.

[jpotter33]

I don't really understand starting Hauser. He's yet another target for their dynamic guards, leaving three mismatches in the starting lineup for Mitchell and Garland.

[SCeltic34]

Not playing great but only down 2.

[Surferdad]

Going to need KP and Jrue to pick up their scoring tonight.

KP certainly is. 

[jpotter33]

Good recovery after a slow start. We're doing a great job of getting around their poor perimeter guard defense, collapsing the big, and then getting good looks on the kick outs.

[Silas]

These NBA-tv announcers are in love with the Cavs.

[jpotter33]

Ugh, Kornet already getting exploited.

[jpotter33]

So what's going on with the score? It's only showing KP with one three so far, but he has two, right?

[jpotter33]

Kornet makes no sense here with this lineup. Idiotic move by Joe that just is granting them mismatch after mismatch. Would much rather have a more mobile Queta or X out there.

[Goldstar88]

Garland can?t guard anyone. Huge liability.
