Cavs looked like a play in teams against Orlando and look like Championship contenders so far against us! :lol:

Saving it for the 4th qtr.


They are defending him. We keep getting caught in switches. They are hunting our bigs and Hauser

True.

That's the weakness of the switching defense.

We'll just have to live with it.

Cleveland crowd bullied the bitch ass refs into a make up call for that Garland foul.

Our defense is nowhere near where it should be this time of the year. This is a coaching issue.

Is that what it was; Jaylen didn't establish himself inbounds?


He never had both feet in bounds so I guess that's not eatabliing him self.

But ya. Wtf was he standing out of bounds to begin with?

The Magic defended them differently.

Cavs looking to exploit the switching defense of the Cs.

Maybe it's both. :(


He's always hurt in the playoffs. It's actually a problem.

Horford is just trash lmao

Assuming that's true and they know it, why switch?

The offense, when trailing, is even worse.

Cavs actually run plays. We stand at the top of the 3pt line wrestling to catch the ball with our back to the basket for 7 or 8 seconds of the shot clock. The coaching is a problem.

The miscommunications multiple times a quarter would seem to suggest that. If guys don’t what they’re supposed to do when, that is a coaching issue, yes.

That's the real question.

Good sign that Jrue is playing great in this game.

Now we just need White to show up.

You trust Brisset but not Pritchard?! Lol

From a poster that constantly complains that Pritchard, Hauser, Kornet are unplayable. I don't get it. Actually, maybe I do.

Holiday showing some Paul Pierce bulldog

Tatum looks better, not Paul Pierce brand of heroism but no longer Tobias Harris.

Pierce would stunt on these hoes
