12/14 Cleaver Cleveland the Sequel
- Thread starter Ale Xander

Those last three of the quarter were pretty bad. The last one especially. The two for one was dead there was no reason to jack up a three.
Jaylen Brown looking like All NBA tonight. 18 points in the first half on 8-11 shooting and 2-3 from three. He scores and puts pressure on defenses in so many different ways. Tonight he has a mix of a soft touch fade away, driving layup/dunk and catch and shoot three ball. I absolutely love his two man game with KP.
I just dont know, when watching this team, if they actually want or like winning basketball games. Ignoring the lead and the fact that Boston has won every quarter thus far, Tatum and Brown just give off mid results vibes.
JT is considered better because he has a higher "single handedly take over a game" bar than JB, but when JB is playing within himself, more movement off ball and less trying to beat people off the dribble I think his offensive ceiling might exceed JT's
It often feels like they want to win, but they want to do it their way, and their way includes fucking around for significant portions of the game.
Well I still think JT is the superior because JB more often than not doesn't play those strengths, so I guess I'll just piss off everyone!! haha
Generally like to see give them away less than half the halftime lead in the third, which they failed at tonight. At least this dread quarter is behind us.
Watching tonight is why Coach Joe is still worrying me.
The fact that Sam Hauser is 3/3 from the field in 18 minutes is a travesty. Dude is dead eye right now, why isn't Joe putting him into the pick and pop actions he's constantly using with KP and Al, at least once in a while.
Sam basically only gets opportunities when things break down and the ball finds him, or drive and kicks, but he really, REALLY should be considered an actual weapon that they use on purpose.
