Well that was quick. Suddenly we?re up 1. Drew Petersen is a revelation!

he was good in the g league, similar to what you see tonight. PBS is amazing at picking through the trash heap to find credible nba players.

God, Jrue. Why are you forcing that crap against elite rim protection?! Completely dumb basketball by Jrue tonight.

[jpotter33]

Poor leadership by JT there. Doesn't hustle back and complains to the ref giving them a 5 on 4 leading to the Garland three.

He's had several possessions tonight where he was the last player up the court in transition.  Not even always complaining to the ref either - he's just playing with low effort tonight. 

[SCeltic34]

We're out of sorts and havne't played well at all.  Down just 2 at the half on the road.  Gladly will take it.

[Indocelts]

JT with last possesion shot in both quarter 1 and 2. Two misses. Predictable.

[Neurotic Guy]

Seemed like a lot of misses at the rim by the Cavs.

I assume Q is being rested for tom? So the bigs rotation could possibly be Q, X, and maybe Kornet? KP and Al would probably sit the b2b.

100% agree.  Although by complaining to the ref after getting stopped by Garland, his complaining to the ref led him to not get back in transition, leading to a Garland 3.

Joe should call him out for his lack of effort.

[Silas]

3s not falling in the 1st half...8/27, yet they are only down 2pts.  I'll take it and expect better shooting in the second half.

[trickybilly]

This team is so good, when we don't have 70 at the half it feels like we haven't hit a single shot.

[Neurotic Guy]

Tough half for Jrue. He?ll be better.  KP is such a great, unique player at 7?3?.  Bubble wrap him till May.

[SCeltic34]

The 3's have started to fall... for now.

[Surferdad]

KP is such a weapon.

[Phantom255x]

In order to win KP and Tatum probably have to go nuclear

Holiday unfortunately looks horrible tonight too
