Gotta commit to it

So far we stink in the 4th quarter. That's not good. We need to win the quarter by least 4 to win the game. We need Mobley NOW.

Down 11.
I didn't mention we're getting killed on the boards, 44-33.

That's one reason we're behind.

This team is a terrible rebounding team. It's a significant issue

I don't think it's really important. The 4th seed will be ours.

I'd have to disagree, because this lose will give the knicks confidence.

 

[Kepler]

fuck quickly

 

[PIP]

Mobley is just a poor rebounder for his size

 

[Tlyons]

Lets see them do this with Allen and Okoro back.

 

[Futuredome]

I'd have to disagree, because this lose will give the knicks confidence.

Confidence in what??? Ref bailouts?? They were flatly beaten in the 3rd quarter

 

[Pierre Pan]

Hartenstein with an excellent game. Sure would look good in a Cavs uniform

 

[Kepler]

wow cavs always get dominated by hartenstein

 

[scene42]

Beautiful reads from Mobley the entire game.

 

[MGMT]

some bad man defense at the top of the key late and turnovers let this slip away at the blink of an eye; of course there is further dissection but there’s a point at 6-something to go given the trends of the night and understands it’s grossly obvious hero iso ball won’t prevail

 

[Dr No]

Selfish play by DG

 

[Real Deal]

I'd have to disagree, because this lose will give the knicks confidence.

Which is the only case a type of loss like this is all about.

Much different story with Allen down there, and Okoro defending Brunson.

I'm weary on Cavs smelling blood, killer instinct, taking over in a 'I'm gonna beat you for the hell of it' mindset.

This young team lacks.

Refs suck but we haven’t gotten consistent stops on defense all night! Shitty performance with no rebounding or closing out

 

[Pierre Pan]

2 on 1 and we get a missed layup
