3/6: Cut the Crap - C’s @ Cavs

[128]

Muscala is a horrible rebounder.

As we just saw again.

 

[dhellers]

Just tuned in. What up with Tatum? Finally getting a day off?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Marcus WYD?

 

[Imbricus]

Moose is fairly useless as a rebounder, isn't he?

 

[The Mort Report]

Totally forgot about the back to back today. Looking good so far without Tatum?

They are getting a lot of great looks from 3 and hitting them at a high percentage

 

[Auger34]

Two recent possessions where Marcus drove and basically just threw it to the Cavs. I think he could use a day off (or two)

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

You just got Brogdon'd

 

[benhogan]

Garland stinks defensively

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Kornet is better than Muscala

 

[benhogan]

Grant finally on a heater

let's make sure he doesn't see the floor early in Q3

damn Joe, that was sarcasm

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Kornet can't do that. Not his game.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

No one goes up weaker than Luke.

 

[128]

Mitchell gets so many and-ones. Impressive.

 

[The Mort Report]

damn Joe, that was sarcasm

Maybe the plan is to have him play most, if not all of the 4th?

 

[JCizzle]

You gotta fucking hit that, PP.

 

[128]

That Pritch corner 3.

 

[Strike4]

You gotta fucking hit that, PP.

Was just going to post this. Like HAS to.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Kornet > Muscala unless we need shooting. Does everything else better.

 

[dhellers]

Half the board (at least) had the same thought.

These puffy guys are stupidly hilarious

 

[JCizzle]

Half the board (at least) had the same thought.

I'm guessing his agent won't be including this in the "please trade me" video they send Brad in the offseason.

 

[ifmanis5]

Whatever this is during the break is fucking out there.

 

[Strike4]

I'm guessing his agent won't be including this in the "please trade me" video they send Brad in the offseason.

But he gets to the line

 

[Just a bit outside]

I can’t imagine the pressure PP is putting on himself when he gets to play. I’m sure that he is overthinking and putting extra importance on every shot with the hope it will lead to more playing time. I know he is a pro but it has to be tough.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Hauser doing. A nice job on the boards.

 

[JCizzle]

Great passing from Brogdon -> PP -> Kornet.

 

[128]

Brogdon and Jaylen have been awful in late-clock situations. What are they doing?

 

[bigq]

Kornet’s free throw wind up got my attention.

He's been good overall tonite. That was just an unfortunate miss.

For sure. I think this isn't a good sign for the postseason though. This might be my dumb fan brain overreacting, but he played himself off the court in the finals by doing the same thing.

 

[Preacher]

They really love dribbling out the clock at the end of quarters and then ending up with no quality look. I realize you want to use clock but maybe get something going around the 8 second mark to set up your play? I don’t know.

 

[TripleOT]

Boston bench up 43-12

This drives me crazy, as does not taking a foul with three or less seconds remaining when not in the penalty

 

[chilidawg]

Up 14, I would think the game thread would be happy.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Scarred from the last few games.

We're just razzing Pritch. He's like Theis' little bro.

 

[JCizzle]

Man, Grant got swallowed up.

 

[128]

C's need a shot to go down.

 

[Auger34]

If you’re Grant Williams, you can’t get outhustled for rebounds

 

[128]

Scarred from the last few games.

And we're seeing why.

 

[JCizzle]

A timeout

Bill Simmons going to have CJM as coach of the year now.

 

[128]

If you’re Grant Williams, you can’t get outhustled for rebounds

You also can't miss at the rim like that. At least draw a foul.

 

[Auger34]

damn Joe, that was sarcasm

This is his first time since I started watching (after halftime)…and the early returns are not good

 

[djbayko]

No one goes up weaker than Luke.

Ahem…Grant?

 

[TripleOT]

Grant needs to go strong to the rim the few times he decides to play offense inside the arc.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Jarret Allen really seems like the whole package. Why isn’t he a top-20 player?

 

[Auger34]

You also can't miss at the rim like that. At least draw a foul.

Yeah they dovetail together. If you’re such a minus athlete that Caris LeVert can completely out leap you and reject your at the rim then you’d damn better hustle

 

[The Mort Report]

I think this online/app gambling thing is getting out of control

 

[Just a bit outside]

Jarret Allen really seems like the whole package. Why isn’t he a top-20 player?

He can play d and dunk. What else can he do?

 

[bigq]

Please no cheesedicking tonight.

Malcolm Brogdon has a bag within his bag
