It's just terrible. Harris should never in his life put the ball on the floor. Why we've tasked him with creating offense on the road in this series is beyond me.

Carter getting blocked by an all-NBA defender at the apex is what it is. That happens.

But Suggs bricking every single shot when wide open shot just ain't getting it done.

This team does this thing where they make a bad play on the offensive side of the court and don’t run back or rotate in defense.

Actually yeah - they were generating good looks earlier. I retract my statement.

That last play was a bunch of poop with guys not getting back on defense and then not spacing properly on fast break offense, sealed by Harris passing up yet another look from 3 only to turn it over.

Mosley needs to inject some confidence into them.

This is why I said the bench would need to be huge in this one. If they don't give us enough we won't win in a game like this.

This was always going to be the hardest game. Game 6 if we lose is hard but we're at home... game 7 the Cavs have all the pressure.

Yeah. Still need him taking the shots. What’s he gonna do? Stop shooting and rely on two other guys total?

The bench actually showed up in the limited minutes they played. It's the starters that has to figure it out.

Paolo gets the ball and has to either pump fake, slow crossover, or pass the ball while in the air

I'm nowhere near content with that. You win a series when you're capable of winning a series and there's no reason we can't beat this weak Cavs team.

Just have to keep this deficit manageable and then do our third quarter thing
