TNT's audio mix is trash. I noticed a huge difference switching from TNT to the local broadcast last game.

Feel like JT doesn’t really view the Cavs as a real threat. Which would be odd as it’s the playoffs
I get easing into a series but that 1Q is over….the 2-foul sequence at the end of the 1H was indicative of where his heads been all night.

I’m normally the last person to give this excuse but I wouldn’t be surprised if the ankle and hip (from earlier) are bothering Tatum.
He’s been the last up and down the court a good deal tonight. That’s not something I’ve ever noticed from him before

Joe: Come on team, play with intensity.

Team: Why, Joe? They aren't going to beat us.

Joe: They might with that attitude.

Team: No. They aren't. You know it and we know it. Fuck, they know it. They'll get up by 8 or so in one of the games in Cleveland and we'll get serious.

Tatum's has had poor efficiency this offseason, but been excellent at everything else.

That said, to win the title, they'll probably need at least a few superstar Tatum games in the ECF/Finals.

Mitchell had to work so hard for that shot against Jrue a few possessions ago. Cleveland can’t generate offense consistently otherwise, it’s iso and single actions.

his shooting and scoring have definitely been subpar, for him, but his assist and rebound numbers have been pretty great.
His D has been mostly great despite the shade being thrown his way. The thing is, they don't need him to shoot and score a lot today. And that's a good thing.

I don’t care what the stats say, Donovan Mitchell has never missed a shot.
He’s incredible. His motor is go go go, so fast and smooth and with an inch of space he can hit any shot. He’s at 32 minutes and is routinely the first one up and down the court. Very impressive.

Donovan Mitchell is leaving absolutely everything he has on the floor to end the quarter and fucking Crypto P runs up and hits a 35 footer at the buzzer to make it 15 going into the fourth. Brutal for Cleveland.
