How does Tatum only have 2 shot attempts so far?

And Horford 3, with 0 points?

Cavs were ready to golf in first and then TO’s and three hell and sloppy play—ugh

Put in Semi! I think someone wants to play. Also only 2 shots for Tatum?

why can't brad call a time  out before this got so out of hand??

It's so freaking frustrating. This is virtually a gamely occurrence now. With as smart and as good of a coach as he is, I just don't understand why he simply cannot figure out these run-curbing timeouts.

And yet we're one win away from the NBA Finals without our two best players.  I don't know, I think he might have some idea of what he's doing.

Yes, clearly he's infallible. 

I thought we were done with the Brad apologism on this blog? People realize that he can be a great coach AND still have faults, right? This is CLEARLY a fault and weak area of his, and it always has been since he came into the league.

So you’re killing him because he isn’t perfect?  Okay buddy.

Lebron was blanketing him early on

[vjcsmoke]

I'm p---ed at the recent play but calm your tits.  It's only 10 points.  Celtics have come back against far worse odds!

Game is probably over. We let them think they can win.

Of course he has flaws. But just because you would call timeouts differently doesn't mean he does it wrong

If it made that much of a difference, he would have done something in his first 4 years

I would not be surprised if he doesn’t have want to give James a rest. That, and time outs don’t really stop runs.  That’s a myth.

Yes that's right up there with Lue's logic about not playing Korver last game.

Check out out how well that last timeout worked.

BECAUSE HE WAITED TOO LONG TO CALL IT IN THE FIRST PLACE... That's the entire point; he allowed them to get in their groove by not curbing it and settling us down.

I don't understand what is so difficult to understand about this. It's a fundamental part of basketball coaching.
