PLAY CRAIG, JOE! Why do you insist on playing Hauser who is a dang target for the Cavs every single time down the floor?! So idiotic.

And these refs are absolutely terrible.

I love that pull up J from D-White at the elbow.

Ray Allen was awesome at that. He'd go full speed from three point, stop, bang! While his defender went flying thinking Ray was going to take it to the rim.

We were on a great run and then that ref from the back makes that stupid call. The NBA needs to cut down on this foolishness.

I think Tatum made initial contact with the ball but then his hand slipped off onto Mitchell's arm.

Edit: Actually it was mostly just wrist contact.

Also: Thats a bad challenge. Its Tatum's first foul, and the call wasn't that close.

30 for JT at halftime. A shame though the lead is not 20+ now

Frustrating when you defend reasonably well for a stretch and the other team just hits everything anyway.  Good half though.

Recovered from a very bad start to the quarter.  Only lost the quarter by 2.

Need to pick up the defensive intensity.  Better job containing the ball.

Any lead is a good lead, especially against the Cavs.  JT killing it.

A Boston-Cleveland ECF would be pretty fun, and if the WCF is Denver-OKC even better

Good finish.

Maybe JT's best half of his career - 30, 9, and 7 on 11-17 shooting and 4-8 from three!

Let alone while missing 40% of our starters.

Also: Evan Mobley is VERY good defensively. Probably DPOY now that Wemby is out.

As good as Mobley is defensively, and he is a DPOY candidate, I can't help but feel he could be even better defensively. That he could be KG 2.0 on defense.
