Just empty the bench joe. Absolutely no point in leaving any starters in there.

Should have done at at the start of the 3rd!

[robdog_5]

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.

[zoyathedestroya]

Didn't even get Hauser and PP reps.

[RondoToKG]

That was brutal, no way they do that again

[Jakeopp]

It isn’t **** normal to lose by 24 at home as the 1 seed

Maybe if you're the 2014-2015 Hawks

[JR Hawks]

Just empty the bench joe. Absolutely no point in leaving any starters in there.

Make them sit in it. They deserve it.

Bad game, flush it and move on.

Why do people act like Tatum is the only superstar in the league that gets this much attention on defense? What a weak ass excuse to give him. Some of y'all coddle Tatum like a child.

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.

[fallguy]

They should put on Gino but for the Cavs.

[The Corey's]

Didn't even get Hauser and PP reps.

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

[PierceFan4ever]

Starting to think we have the worst best player remaining in the playoffs.

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

[Fierce1]

It's BS to blame it all on Tatum when we're seeing what White is doing in this game.

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.

[Shak_Celts]

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.

[Bar Fight]

It isn’t **** normal to lose by 24 at home as the 1 seed

In one of the worst, most banged up conferences in NBA history

[Tyakack]

Starting to think we have the worst best player remaining in the playoffs.

He's definitely playing like the worst best player.

[Celticfan_N_FL]

It's BS to blame it all on Tatum when we're seeing what White is doing in this game.

Eh who is our superstar again?

We can compromise and blame this game on Jaylen.

[tfribs45]

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

[Gurton Buster]

Flagrant? lol

Apparently a basketball play is considered a flagrant foul now lol.

[BK_2020]

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.

We were 4th best in opponent 3p% and 3rd in opponent fg% until tonight.

[NYCelticsfan136]

What a complete stinker!!!!! lol. This team is so fraudulent . They just lack that mental toughness. One trick ponies.
