100% on Tatum
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

What was that? Such an egregious makeup call.

This game feels like it's on the verge of being a blowout...Mitchell keeping them afloat, but for how long?

That offensive foul on the Tatum screen was nonexistent. Worse than the Myles Turner one the other night

I see that differently. I think he was losing the ball and blocked him. Challenge would have failed though probably but it looks like the refs felt like they got it wrong because they promptly made a horrible makeup call.

Anytime Mitchell goes for like 50 in the playoffs, his team typically loses.

If he's having to do that much, most likely no one else has it going.

The difference in shot quality is ceazy. This should be a blowout right now. Though it slowly is getting away from the Cavs.

Brown has been excellent.
Until he dribbled with his left hand off his leg.

this should be an eye opening series for mobley. he desperately needs to get stronger and work on his game. he should be dominating this centerless celtics team.

Cavs path to victory is scoring in transition after stops.
