So I guess not having Al and cornet in right now means that Derek white Holliday and Tatum have to play like ass??

He’s so focused on only shooting threes he used to be great at finishing layups, doesn’t surprise me he blew the layup because he doesn’t even attempt to drive in like that like he was doing the past 2 seasons

Because they didn’t have Jrue Holiday on the floor with them

Lost two more with Jrue in the lineup. ???

But yeah, "UPgRaDE oUr BeNcH."

Some of us have no problem with the Starters being traded, but they could still use a Playoff Scorer off
the bench...

As he drills a 13 footer...lol

Those 2-3 dumb turnovers by Brown... Way to taint a fantastic offensive performance.

BRUNiNHO91 · Post #189 » by **BRUNiNHO91** » Wed Feb 5, 2025 1:37 am

Jrue Holiday has games where he looks like he doesn’t even belong in the G League.

And what the hell was that lay up by White?

This has OkC game written all over it.

Holiday is washed, hope Brad Stevens sees it

Halfcourt defense was tremendous. O was dreadful. Jrue and White didn't do much. Easy misses and turnovers late. That half was like kissing my sister.

Two inexplicably stupid turnovers right before that. Same **** OKC did to us when we tried to go to him lol. He's gonna cough that ball up under the slightest pressure

Yea if this is the Jrue you see in the playoffs and we get knocked out early, he is the easy trade choice.

Kind of disappointing we’re not up more but White Tatum Porzingis and holiday are 5/31 and we’re up 10. Didn’t expect this game to be easy. Keep grinding.

Playing devil's advocate if Jrue is really playing bad right now I'd say we cannot get a good return at this time for him. So we are basically stuck until the summer maybe.

Yeah there is no way I would have figured we'd have that lead with those 4 players shooting so bad. Kind of a miracle if you Think about it

I wouldn’t wait. Gotta be aggressive when you’re this close to a title.

Lucky to be up 10 with best player putting up 2/11 (2/7 from 3). KP/Jrue/White combined 3/20. Just wild.

Thank God for Kornet, Horford and bench crew lol.

Miserable second quarter. Cavs still in this. Here comes the dreaded 3rd quarter.
