Not sure if anyone else is watching a pels stream.. Joel Meyers isn't quite as good as Jim Petersen, but damn near close

We got to hire somebody to go across the border and kidnap Beasley.

Mike Conley took WAY too long to get into play action, there.

If they are playing small and hard doubling KAT, can’t have non-shooters like Anderson out there

Playing 5 on 8 sucks. KAT and Rudy getting hacked with no calls. Refs can't see the ball hitting the rim. I'm about to stop watching this ish.

This is one game I hoped we stay close and maybe get lucky. That Ingram lucky shot really hurts. Could had been down just by two. Need Gobert to step up in the 2nd half

Gonna needs the guards to save the day. Bigs getting worked with the physicality. The refs wont bail the bigs out, this is a guards game and we will need them to step up for us and play well.

He was not his usual dominant self and most likely due to the early fouls. He got through the rest of the half with no more fouls so hopefully he can return to his usual dominance.

Giving up 100 offensive rebounds in a row isn't going to help.

Let’s continue to put Towns into high-post action, I’m sure it’ll continue to work!

Pretty clearly a game where he needs to be put into more aggressive pick-and-pop action.

As I have said, our offense is a big concern of mine. I think its really going to hold us back in the playoffs if we don't address it by then. Hopefully we will do something between now and then though.

Zion really is one of those 4 or 5 guys in league that can’t be stopped when he’s rolling

Be tough to win any series when Conley is 2nd best guard/playmaker

It’s a different game in playoffs than regular season

Last years Cavs (top defense) are pretty direct comparison
