We let teams get so comfortable than wonder why they can shoot so well. When it's easy and they get comfortable it happens. They Play harder on defense than us and make shots less comfortable.

Tatum has 25/7/6 on 17 shots, 1 turnover. His issue is that he’s only 2-5 from three, he should have taken 10+ tonight.

Mitchell has 29/6/6 on 18 shots, 1 turnover.

Maybe if we actually consistently ran the offense through him, things would have looked different offensively. Instead it’s an equal opportunity offense, which is fine when the other team can’t score.

My concern, which I’ve brought up repeatedly, is that this team has lost its hierarchy offensively, and I was concerned that they wouldn’t adapt when the game called for it.

The game called for it tonight, and nothing changed.

It was only a matter of time before Hauser was moved out of the rotation.

We do. Haliburton has been better than Tatum who is the next worst star. Tatum is not even the best player on the team these playoffs

It’s unreal how JT can’t even score 30 these playoffs. I was having **** concerned for months now like Tatum can’t dominate games anymore. Last year how many explosive games have we seen from Tatum? A ton. This year, not many, just got a cute statline and a team effort overall but Tatum as a player looked worse all season

Eh who is our superstar again?

I keep telling you, Cs not are winning a championship if our superstar is bad and yet you keep insisting we're going to win it all this year.

You even predicted Celtics in 6 against Minnesota in the finals.

really think some people make cavs out to be a bad team just so they can drag the Cs if they don't destroy them.

We can compromise and blame this game on Jaylen.

Man what an embarrassing playoff effort? Even a pathetic regular season effort, this team plays with no Heart /Passion. Zero fight when times
