5/15 - G5 vs. CLE - Gentleman's Sweep
- Thread starter RSN Diaspora
- Start date
tatum desperately needed. the number of possessions with pritchard trying to make stuff happen is way too high
Different challenges honestly. They got worse, but they actually have more shooting and the defense isn't any worse, means a lot more team D. Focusing in on one guy like Mitchell is easier.
I really think it’s because the Cs know the Cavs can’t beat them with who’s playing, so they dilly dally and eventually grind out the W. Tonight is looking like the last game. We’ll probably end up being up by 8-10 late in the 4th.
Need starters in there and serious last few minutes of this half.
And Al...I mean, I love the guy but his shooting is an issue. Good process, but results not there.

Gotta take open looks. Its how this team is built. That said when you are chasing points having your smallest player take it into the trees Isn't a great decision.
yeah, that to me was a pretty bad no-call but also one where PP helped them blow it by looking out of control.
That’s fair but is that human nature or a character flaw with this group? I honestly don’t know.
Horford is 2/6 from 3.... that's fine. The bigger problem is the lack of involvement for Tatum and way too many out of control plays from the guards.
Do you consider moving Jrue to Strus? Strus has been making really good decisions and facilitating.
None of this should matter. With reasonable effort this isn't close. But we're not seeing reasonable effort.
It's unfathomable that this lineup can outrebound the Celtics. Rebounds are about wanting it and they are just so lax.

Not if they continue playing like this. Good news they have the ECF to get right. And maybe the return of Porzingis helps get them right? Hell if I know - this team is perplexing
Personally I think it’s just who they are. I’m hoping it’s not some red flag about future series. But who knows, maybe we’ll look back and realize it was.
Morris is a rotation guy on playoff teams every year... he's pretty good. Tristan Thompson on the other hand.....
Bingo. Everyone is on edge because we have no way of knowing. It’s 100% a flaw but is it fatal?
Ok, I'm not and X and Os guy, but any defense that puts Horford on Garland whenever they switch seems really problematic to me.
He never shoots this frequently, and at this point there’s a pretty good sample size suggesting he doesn’t have it. Cavs are baiting him by leaving him open.
Dude he was absolutely cooked last year. The Clippers basically gave him away. He’s not good, not by any stretch of the imagination. Just call a spade a spade
Guy averaged 17 MPG on a wing starved team last year and 15 MPG on a wing starved team this year. He sucks
It’s the million dollar question. I hope after tonight we see a much more focused and energetic team for the rest of the season.
They made a couple of bad calls last game and have responded by calling like 5 bad ones so far
