Was easier to defend Lebron with both Roberson and PG13.

Kind of expected WB playing bad after sitting out 2 games and missing practice.

Westbrook should not be taking that foul. This team needs you

I like that our defense vs LeBron is switching Russ onto him and taking our best wing defender out of the play

Well, looks like our win streak over the Warriors, Cavs, Rockets, and Raptors is going to come to an end. I checked the score once and it was tied 36-36. Check it again about 15ish minutes later and we're down 62-51.

This is also going to really get the hype train rolling for the new look Cavs.

Melo and Russ leading both teams in FGA at 11 a piece.
George is 4th on our team with 7 FGA.

Abrines took 1 shot in 15 minutes. If he isn't shooting from outside, I don't see the point to play him.

Melo is so frustrating to watch man.
We have robes playing and we are winning this game. Too many mistakes on defense leading to cavs points

How about not giving up open shots all game long

Hopefully Westbrook can find his rhythm in the 4th...

On a side note, Grant has the strangest herky-jerky moves I’ve seen but strangely it works for him lol

Why didn’t they leave Patterson in and take Grant out? Give PG and Adams space to operate

And instead of playing Patterson, we take him out and play Grant who, if not featured on offense, is such a problem offensively because he can't set a screen and just roams around. On that George 3, Grant was standing right next to him. Horrible BBIQ.

No surprise Russ looks rusty. Not a good night to catch a team as good as the Cavs who've seemed to found a rhythm and some momentum with the new faces.
