Tristan Thompson

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Look in the mirror to see who fits that description. Lue started the same 5. Are you in your car yet, headed to the airport to meet Lue and kick his ass?

I didn't think so.

Already on my way back home, was an easy win. At one point he was on the ground and continuously said to himself “Be Aggressive!”

In all seriousness, if Love plays like that then obviously it’s the right choice. The problem is, Love HASNT been playing like this. Hindsight is always 20/20 so it looks good tonight, but hopefully he doesn’t go back to his shitty play next game and make us regret saying it’s the right lineup.

Ah shit. Get him out of the rotation.
 
I respect everything Tristan has done for the Cavs over the years, but he should really only be on the floor if Jonas is lighting it up on the interior like in Game 1.

He just kills the spacing and makes it so much more difficult to score in the half court.

Of course Lue compounds the problem by having him share the court with Green all the time.

We know LeBron + multiple shooters will basically end with a LeBron layup or an open three point shot... so Lue of course insists on playing James with Clarkson, Hood, Green and Thompson to open the 2nd and 4th quarters.
 
Is it illegal if someone were to start a GoFundMePage to hire a hooker for Tristan ?

It would just be easier to go the Tonya Harding / Nancy Kerrigan route with him just to be safe and pay him $16 million a year for very vigorous high-fiving.

I don't know whether it is funny or sad that every time TT has the ball for more than 2 seconds (especially outside the paint) I get the same emotions as the most intense scenes in the Hurt Locker.

Oh man, I'm old, those references are dated... but TT still sucks.
 
We need to get him some strange before he makes Horford his bitch again.
 
TT had a great Game 7 and Game 1...and has been terrible since then. Hopefully he can still be Horford's father.
 
Part of the issue is as CBBI said, Lue keeps pairing Tristan with Jeff Green. That is retarded, if we are going to play him he should almost start where we can hide his weaknesses and he can hit the offensive board when teams do cheat.

Especially against BOS, match him up with Horford.
 
And the shine is gone quickly: if you gameplan for him it's just a disaster for the Cavs this season.
Space gets eaten up, he can't finish, and his rim protection is non-existent
 
Nance high on cocaine after a weeked of no sleep is still better than TT.

Nothing has changed Nance should play next to Love and get plenty of minutes at center, Nance is athletic agile and our only legit rim protector besides Zizic that actually knows about the rule of vertically and how to use it

He was playing well for us until his injury and Lue took his minutes and his confidence by being clueless and never playing him, I haven’t looked but I’m pretty sure our best lineup is still the Nance/Love one and it makes way more sense than playing TT over Nance.

TT does nothing better than Nance on the court besides getting offensive rebounds, and I’m being kind because really TT has stopped doing that effectively for almost 2 years now.
 
I think TT has taken the “eff the regular season” mantra more seriously than anyone else. Different guy out there right now
