You can quote me on this and it’s not just game thread. I have been 100% all in since preseason game 1. I am off the bandwagon after tonight.
It's discouraging because we've seen it before in the most recent playoff runs. This isn't playoff intensity defense - and does feel like playing down to the competition.

64 wins - we've come to expect more

I just don't understand why Jrue & Brown aren't getting physical with Dono or garland or Strus when they initiate from the top, they are standing 3' away letting them operate

4Q of playoff game for home court, down 10, Tillman in and Tatum on the bench. It’s the freakin playoffs!!! What is going on here? Zero sense of urgency by Joe and nobody supports him more than me but this approach stinks and it sucks!
Welcome aboard. It's like he sees Mobley go to the bench and his immediate response is "DOUBLEBIGZTIME," completely ignoring we need points and they have two absolute studs playing great at the perimeter.

This better be just another aberration like Miami game 2.
it is. I have 0 doubt about that. Marcus Morris and Tristan Thompson are in their rotation.
Tonight sucks but I have no fear about the rest of this series

Take the contested layup. It’s not our night from 3.

They need to attack at both ends. So passive.

this is still winnable—-get focused guys, just need to be who we are.

not say the garbage of last ten minutes!

maybe i should say their percentage is ridiculous tonight including a handful of bogus ones
They’ve made 12. Yeah they’re at 50% but they were well under that until late in the 3rd. They’ve made a few tough ones but most of this is on our lousy D and lethargic O.
