@JordanZirm how did we go from Bron to these guys.
I would argue that the 2 lead creators on the team playing well is, in fact, crucial to the team winning in the playoffs lmao
@JordanZirm fuck this makes me even more mad. there's 0 reason for Max to be spacing in the corner at this point of the game.
Harden and Don are literally just floating and ball-watching.
@itsSME22@JordanZirm that's literally not the point, though. it's the end of game, the refs are going to let contact go.
it's about sound process, and the Cavs just seem to lose their minds when it comes to making the most simple, easy decisions that cost them everything
even if Mobley corrals that pass, why is Schroder jumping into the air and passing to one of the worst free throw shooters on the team? and how does the final inbounds end up in a Mobley three? never seen such a talented team make such dumb, embarrassing plays
@JordanZirm even if we lose tn, Evan deserves enormous credit for how he's responded in Game 5 and tonight.
surprisingly been the most fearless starter on the roster. huge for his development
Some utterly nonsensical help defense is being playing by the Cavs right now
Lost in no-mans land. Not stopping the drive or staying close enough to 3PT shooters
@dillybar2145__ and it's legit mostly an effort problem. which is perhaps the most damning indictment of all.
guys aren't fighting to get open or cutting hard. whereas Toronto has played like a bomb is strapped to their chest all series.
Cavs have no reason to look checked out but they are
@Pool_boyo No one on this team can create space and if they do they miss the wide open shots. It could be raptors defense but we can’t be getting bitched this hard. His turnovers are SO BAAAAAAD
@JordanZirm i don't understand why this team looks so checked out. like, why is nobody fighting through defensive pressure or moving off-ball? why are we helping on players when there's 0 reason to and leaving shooters wide open?
this is like, basic attention and focus stuff. inexcusable
@dillybar2145__ and it's for the dumbest reasons. there have been completely inexplicable defensive breakdowns and turnovers that have come from literally just not playing hard enough
@JordanZirm I legit can't think of too many teams that are clearly as talented as this one that look as consistently disengaged as they are in big moments
I want LeBron back this summer if for no other reason than to have a guy who knows how to get a group to lock in
feels like there were multiple possessions yesterday where Donovan Mitchell looked completely gassed. he'd point to someone else to bring the ball up the court, and generally just looked...disinterested?
I dunno. they just had two full days off. really strange vibes
