Mazz already cost this team one title. This defense is pathetic.

They really had 4 straight possessions with no one on Mitchell.

As for Tatum. Hard to say anything bad about him when he's by far your best player but that was a pathetic 4th quarter.

Like really bad. This dude hasn't addressed his inside game in his entire NBA career.

Tatum got exposed by Mitchell. Give me a break man can’t let somebody beat your ass like that with 10+ pts and you can’t get nothing back.

Holiday horrendous to absurd levels offensively and getting cooked everywhere also.

Kenny Atkinson won the game by complaining to the refs. That's how bad the NBA is.

Been telling guys Tatum needs to improve his shot making skills. He doesn’t kniw how to use the board properly missing easy easy layups

All we had to do was not have an abysmal 4th quarter. Couldn't do it.

Jrue no longer deserves to start. He’s been terrible for quite some time.

He’s a great player but I agree his iso game has been below his talent level for basically his entire career

He’s just not a good finisher
