Yeah not to be a broken record but when Suggs leaves the floor the defense just isn’t as good.

Miami started badly and out of sorts, but instead of punishing them and building a lead, we just kept turning it over and now likely to be trailing. Those are the swings that decide games.

Well when one of the best guard defenders in the league is replaced by one of the worst...

Cole ruined his expectations for hops in shorties.

We could've had real momentum early. Pump faked two open threes for turnovers.

We would be up 15 by now if not our brainfarted offense this half

I will say, it's a problem that AB is still not ready to slot in as Suggs' backup...

Tyus just doesn’t fit this team. Can’t defend and doesn’t play fast

I thought AB looked good in the first half. I might prefer him in the lineup with Bane over Tyus

Yea idk about tyus

Man... they are TARGETING Tyus

Trash defense man. Turnovers and tyus allowing Miami to hang around

Me and Tyus Jones both have no clue what he is doing on defense.

This is the worst I've seen Paolo play in a long time.
