Tristan Thompson

[bigfoot5415]

Meh...Tristan has seemed to stay hungry and grounded. Cant be upset with how this is unfolding. If he went off the deep end I would be livid.My wife has watched the show for years, it is a guilty pleasure. Khloe has struggled with getting pregnant while her sisters seem to give birth every other year.

2014 I tell you one of these scenarios will happen, which do you choose:

JR Smith has matured into a fine young man & loves the city of Cleveland

-or-

Tristan Thompson has turned around a Kardashian and they seem legitimately happy together.

TT needs to bounce back strong the rest of the series. 0 points and 4 rebounds and only able to play 22 minutes. For a guy in his third straight finals, this was really surprising.

I get that he is being pulled out to the perimeter but still, needs to be 10 times better.

 

[Kizzle]

He disappointed me


Zaza and Magee effectively took him out the game with their hustle physical play and a dash of bad reffing

Invisible.

Rebounds Steph 6 TT 4. Brutal.

 

[gijimbo]

It's like he wasn't even out there.

First time the talking heads of ESPN made the right call. Zaza and Javale, minimum contract players, just dominating our frontcourt.

Where the hell was Tristan tonight?? He easily gets my vote for most disappointing player of the night.

We can't and we won't have any chance of beating the Warriors unless he does his thing off the glass and outhustles everyone in physicality and energy.

What the Hell was wrong with Tristan? You cant Tell me he cant hang with Zaza and McGee..

 

[CleveRocks]

Tristan was thoroughly outplayed. He looked lost defensively, and could not get relevant offensively. I think the Warriors were exploiting him intentionally.

We also made major sefesinve mistakes.. KD drivibg to the hole again and again and all we did was step out of the way.. got to challenge the ball. Same with Curry. You have to push him off his spot bringing the ball up.

Also, why are we thinking Jefferson can defend any of these guys. Good effort but just not athletic enough.

 

[Rich]

Yea this is his one mulligan. You can go into every player's thread tonight and say "not good enough." But he was the, by far, the most disappointing. He gets paid what he gets paid for this series specifically. There can be zero more games that are even remotely close to the effort he gave tonight.

He freaking disappeared and allowed Putz -zoolie and Jay Jay to dominate him.
And usually he's the physical one. So that uninspired play baffles me.
Lue should have at least put in Frye and Taveres in for a few minutes..
Heck GS let their rookie in for a few minutes...I would have done that.

TT has to show up for us to have any chance to win this series. He simply can not allow his rebounding to be completely negated, and him giving up so many offensive rebounds and tip-outs to his man allowing the GSW to reset and get extra possessions killed us defensively.

 

[Nphan]

I don't think TT will play well this series as a started. Zaza and Green are good rebounders and that's the new starting lineup for the Warriors. TT is effective against their small ball lineup but not this Zaza and Green line up. He is also an even bigger liability on offense because they just ignore him and he can't out rebound Zaza.

 

[godfather]

Probably the worst game he had in the post-season. He was literally useless, and a liability to the team.

At times, he really does show his limits at his position, and really reinforces my belief we need a bigger starting caliber center on this team going forward and TT is better served coming off the bench.
