Clean first Q. No turnovers. Need to tighten up the D just a bit.

Brad did a tremendous job putting this bench together.

Watching the offense stagnant when Jaylen touches the ball is very worrisome if Boston winds up playing Minnesota or OKC. It’s fine against Strus and Garland. It could lose a series against Ant/Mcdaniels/SGA/JaylenWilliams etc.

Tatum is such a good rebounder And defender.

I don't like Tatum doing the hero ball thing that he just did. Pass the damn ball.

Can’t have the frustration foul from Tatum there. Need him on the court.

That non-challenge was maddening.

good first half overall, missed some easy shots and didn't shoot the 3 too well. Defense stepped up in 2nd quarter. Don't like they didn't challenge the Kornet put back, it was an auto 2 points they let go. Play good D in 3rd quarter and hit some shots and they should cruise into the 4th.

White is the best player on the Cs tonight. Tatum again looks a bit out of sorts

White is the best player on the Cs tonight. Tatum again looks a bit out of sorts I'm slightly behind watching the game but Brown has been lights out.

It would be nice if Tatum decided to show up for the playoffs. He’s settling way too much and needs to go back into attack mode.

Hero mode Tatum sucks. It kills the rest of the offense, he’s inefficient (taking the worst kind of contested long jumpers) and makes it easy for the other defense.

Tatum at this point can't seem to play as fast as the rest of the team. Offense becomes molasses with the ball in his hand. Very odd to watch.

Swaggy Pritchard is so much better than sit outside the arc and watch Jayson and Jaylen dribble into double teams Pritchard.

where was Tatum on that play where he went to the basket and got stripped? Cleveland got an open dunk and didn't seem to make it past half court. uggh.
Mitchell is a problem. He is hitting everything he goes to the basket on.
very nice end of the quarter.

Joe after the quarter “(on Derrick White’s play) it’s his pick and roll and ability to PLAY FAST.”
(on Donovan Mitchell) “our guys have to sprint back.”
I wonder who he could be talking to.

When Tatum isn’t playing well offensively, it affects the rest of his game. He complains to the refs, doesn’t get back on defense, picks up frustration fouls and the like.

He’s still been defending his ass off, but he HAS to get back to moving the ball and playing within the offense like he did for most of the season. He’s reverted back to old habits at the wrong time.

Tatum has done other things - blocks, assists, rebounds - but they will need better scoring and play from him in this - and future - series.

and then the C's go on a run to put some big distance between them, with Tatum on the bench.
Tatum has been big on the boards and some nice passes to be fair. Just way off offensively tonight.

Im also confused why this hasn’t been addressed yet. Its been an issue in years past and if anything its got worse. The quick pull up 3s in particular are brutal. Especially since he sometimes does does it when the team is on a hot streak and it throws ice water on that.

Pritchard has really arrived in the playoffs. You can tell he is so confident.
There again - Tatum just dribbled away the shot clock. Where is his head?
