Chiefs fan?!!

Trade his ass

Bickerstaff can go fuck himself. I feel like until tonight Dean has gotten 5 4th quarter minutes.

I still want to know why that play by Tatum wasn't an offensive foul. Isn't it always an offensive foul if they kick out like that to draw contact?

I think it's only if the ref thinks it was done deliberately. Tatum was falling away and it looked like his leg extended naturally as a result of falling backward, so it was incidental contact.

This win was thanks to Wade going 7-for-7 in the 4th quarter while Tatum went 1-for-13 in the second half and scoring 4 points after getting 22 in the first half. You're never see that again in a hundred years.

By the way, the Knicks and Sixers both lost.

I know it was a turnover but on review, the lob to Allen was a great read by DG. Porzingis made an incredible play.

The other bounce pass into Allen was inexcusably bad

 

[Pierre Pan]

Buckle up - another crazy 4th.... And really they did not play that bad either most of the game... At least in my opinion...

Agreed; I even stated earlier in the game that we were playing better than Sunday and a loss wouldn’t feel as demoralizing (wasn’t contemplating a win at that point )

I am mainly attending this game tonight for the bobblehead.

Real Cavs Fan represent. Another great game you were there for.

The key was Mobley's injury giving Wade the chance to play. This was the most unlikely win of the year - down 22 with 9 minutes left to the Celtics. Yeah, it was 100% the Celtics would win and it looked like they relaxed while the Cavs ignored the score and the time remaining and just kept plugging.

I've been trashing Niang all year but I have to give him his props tonight.

Garland with two huge turnovers down the stretch trying to force the ball to Allen. Sheer stupidity. Allen has bad hands for one thing and can only catch easy pases. Two, even if he catches the ball he's got a 7'3" guy on him. Dumb plays by Garland, but he made up for it by forcing Tatum into a difficult fallaway without fouling.

The big question now is whether this game will give Dean Wade the confidence to 1) start playing more aggressively on offense, and 2) keep shooting open 3's even if he misses the first two. It was awesome to see him attacking the rim and getting a dunk off a pick-and-roll and also following a missed layup with a slam. We need more of that from him.

Mobley still unable to make a field goal beyond 3 feet from the rim. Wade is a better overall player right now, especially when he gets a lot of minutes. He's not that effective getting 11 minutes a game.

If Mobley has to miss a few games, and I'm sure he'll miss tomorrow at least, we'll see what Wade can do with a lot of minutes.

Tatum was 1-for-13 in the second half. You'll never see that again. The Celtics opened the door and the Cavs marched right through.

Excellent analysis, my friend. Of course, it virtually echoes everything I stated in the game thread

We've been on flip side of that a couple times since the allstar break.

Lol I guess Trey Murphy has the perfect name to lead the league tonight in 3pters

 

[Pierre Pan]

Bickerstaff can go fuck himself. I feel like until tonight Dean has gotten 5 4th quarter minutes.

That‘s probably cumulative for the season. He says the same damn thing every game about someone…if it’s old to me, I can only imagine how his same old shtick must be received by the team
