Tatum's 3 point shot is soooo inconsistent. He'd be an MVP if he didn't have so many of these games where he can't hit the broad side of a barn.

KP has been poop for the most part. Get Allen off him.

Might be the worst Zinger has been all season! Hope he picks it up in the 2nd half

I love KP but he is not a guy you give it too with up seconds and expect him to create a shot. That was terrible end of half play.

Needs to pull Allen out of the paint at least. He's been horrible.

Cavs hitting some BS

But more importantly, some devastating news

It's getting sooo boring watching Tatum just float around at the top, literally not move more than 3 ft, wait for the ball and then just jack from there. No cutting, no movement to the post, no curling. Nothing but garbage shots.

So earlier we were down by 16 and everyone was bashing Joe, saying "f you Joe".

Now we're only down 1. Is Joe a hero now? Should Cavs fans now be saying "f you JB Bickerstaff" ? Is that how it works?

I mean, I admit. I'm not sold on Joe being the coach to lead us to the promised land, I get frustrated that we often play down to our competition and we rely on 3's too much, rather than working the ball around for looks closer to the basket.

Just poking fun at how reactionary people can be on here, how quick people are to blame Joe and are ready to fire him anytime we go down by double digits..even though a 16 point deficit in the 1st half is nothing in today's NBA..so quick to blame Joe if the team is down, yet never give him credit when we win..

Tatum has 17 though entirely from layups and free throws.

He needs to do more cutting, more driving to the basket, more post ups, get to the line more, settle for 3's less.

Get a shot diet that's more like Siakam, LeBron, Jimmy Butler, Giannis, Kawhi. Less like Steph Curry..

Dude has taken 9 FT’s already. He’s driven a ton tonight, and always sets back screens for Al/White/Holiday.

He’s just missing threes, one of which I’d say was a bad shot. But 17/8/3 on 10 shots at the half is awesome lol.

Last good defensive game the Celtics played was the play in Chicago game. 4 straight games now of below average defense.

needs to be more like 50/40/85 though. anything less, nowhere near mvp level!

85 assists a game will be tough, will have to pass exclusively to White and Hauser.

Like the aggressiveness of JT and JB. White doing his thing.

Celtics to come out of the 3rd as they usually do.

Cavs up 15 going into the 4th

Cavs by 10.

Blow up the team.
