One team shooting 50% from 3 the other 25%. If you see those numbers alone you can probably guess who's winning.

Tatum's rep is going to take a major hit if they lose this series.

It ain’t even the 3 point luck though man. Cleveland is kicking their ass inside. This is BAD for Boston.

Minny and OKC are not playing on cruise control.

Of course they aren't, their competition is much harder

The defense from Boston has been atrocious. For all the guff Bickerstaff gets, he's actually coached a good game. Ran the Celtics off the three point line and forced them to take contested 2's.

Jayson has been **** mid all playoffs. Jaylen and Derrick have been our 2 best players so far.

Jayson has to wake the **** up


I got roasted for saying Jalen & Spida have been the two best players in the conference this postseason, but so far they've just been a different level.

Yeah but we saw the same thing in Game 2 of the first round and some overreacted then the Celtics won the next 3. I don't think Cavs can do this 4 times.
