Tristan Thompson

Who would have thought that the dependable TT would be the guy that would suddenly lose confidence in the biggest games..The Kardashian curse is real.

Who would have thought ZaZa would dominate him? Its been pretty remarkable.

Putting Durant on the floor has really had an effect on the entire roster- role players are simply dwarfed by his presence.

Best remark I heard last night was the Cavs are the better team WITHOUT Durant being present. Just cant lessen the effect of the best scorer in the league being added to a historically good team.

He's the 2nd-3rd best in the league for a reason. Dude is elite on both ends when he gives 100%. He covers so many holes on defense and make superstar shots on offense.

Its really deflating. If he stayed in OKC, or went ANYWHERE else, the Cavs would be in a position to win two-three titles in a row.

Durant saw this though, and countered this by joining the only group capable of derailing LBJ's teams while he's still superhuman.

In reality it was a brilliant move by Durant and excellent cap management (luck) by GS.

We need to bench Tristan...played well without him in the first half...

Ya dun goofed TT

He's been garbage. Love has been so much better defensively at center. We might as well bring in Derrick Williams if we don't want any rebounding and more of a threat as a scorer.

The saddest thing about this series is that my three favorite Cavs - Kyrie, JR, and Thompson - have been arguably the three worst Cavs. I can't even figure out who has been the worst among the three...that's how horribly they have played relative to their potential.

Thompson is one of the Cavs few plus defenders so it really hurts the Cavs that they can't play him right now. If he's going to continue to give nothing on the offensive glass then Love has to play over him for spacing reasons. The problem with that is that means James has to play center when Love goes to the bench, because Frye also basically gave nothing yesterday. It sucks that Love is the only reliable big on the roster right now.

That's not the only thing that sucks.

No matter what TT has to come through for us.. He has to be the Monster we know he can be.

If he cant well we have to conisder a Starting Lineup of

Kyrie
Shump
RJ or even Derrick
Lebron
Love

We cannot win when two of our Starters and supposed best two way Players in TT and JR are playing totally trash.

You are missing the point here, I hate to say this but the GS and the far west broke the game, Either it is fixed or this is full fledged coward that the Warriors are. This is a media and bullshit driven league that needs to be... I would rather watch Soccer than the NBA at this point.

My love for my city and people are what makes me happy to see this team win in a criminal league that is know as the REFs, I mean the NBA. It is fun to play the sport but when you have crooked refs and the NBA trying to make bookies happy... You are going to have a bad time. The Cavs are my team and as long as they are here I guess I will still try to care.

Ya dun goofed TT

They not only are ignoring him whenever he doesn't have the ball, they are discouraging even passing to him by randomly trapping him off rolls. They are essentially seeing if he can mimic Draymond Green and throw quick accurate passes and he absolutely CANNOT mimic Draymond Green.



He's unplayable VS this defense. The only way he could get positive minutes is if he were attacking the rim ok those catches as ruthlessly as LeBron and getting fouls. Like when you catch it just go up. Make someone have to put you on your ass to stop you

except Thompson hasnt been guarding zaza . Love was primarily guarding zaza in both games when Thompson was on the floor.

 

[The Red Viper]

Warriors ability to negate the influence of opposition big men is quite irritating. Having said that, TT has to do a much better job in terms of boxing out and play more physical. We need him to be a menace on the boards.
