We are making Mobley looks like Jokic. He’s a horrific offensive player

JT's scoring efficiency this post season has been atrocious. He actually got some good looks tonight. Knock those the **** down.

That's what he does.

The dude doesn't play like a Kobe or Ant or any aggressive take no prisoners player. I've accepted it. We just need him to be a good all around guy with timely scoring.

We paying this man how much? Springer could give us that.


I said it a game ago.. And I'll repeat what I said

I'm starting to wonder if the extension we gave Jrue But the amount he received Maybe a huge mistake.. I know he is technically the fifth option at times.. But His defense appears to be slipping and he doesn't seem really built for a fifth option role..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

That monstrosity was only the Cs' second turnover of the game.

Well that wasn’t a fun half. Had some moments here and there but the Cavs have confidence right now. You already know Mitchell is very capable of having big quarters. Tatum gotta shoot better period, we’re not gonna win em all if JT is shooting like that. Today’s the night we need him most with the others struggling a bit. JT’s midrange game has been evaporated, used to have be able to shoot much better not sure why everything looks short right now.

White must roll his eyes seeing so many last possesions that are never him.


That being said. Goal should be hold them under 100 and they will win.

The C's still got it. They'll stomp the Cavs in the second half.

Tatum and Brown both inefficient and not opening the game up for the rest of the team. We may squeak by with that against the Cavs but that's not going to work.

Give the Cavs credit, great game plan. They know the Celtics have no presence in the paint and are abusing the Celtics. 36 points in the paint out of 54 points.

Mazzulla needs to adjust

Tatum has 16-6-4 on acceptable efficiency, plus getting to the line 10 times is huge. A couple mistakes early in the 3rd quarter and Mobley or Okoro could be in foul trouble for the rest of the game.

We're gonna beat the Cavs. Nobody is worried about this series. What matters is how we stack up against the top teams out West
