Let’s hope Tristan is not a kardashian this game and get more rebounds than the Pacer’s PG.
Calm down, Khloe.
It’s now a completely new series with TT seeing the floor tonight !!! I’m pumped and feel confidant the Cavs win by 10ish !!

Should not see the court again in this playoff run.
Remember how, I think it was late in the year, Lue kind of let Tristan show everyone that he should not be in the rotation by playing him some?
That happened again tonight.
The best part about tonight, to me, is that Lue rolled out Tristan and we still won. And, Lue doesn't have to hear about playing Tristan again moving forward because everyone saw it for themselves.
If Hill stays hurt, it's time to think about trying Cedi if you're going to use 10 men. Or Zizic.
The Tristan experiment is over.
A clear example of how misleading +/- can be.Great game by TT even though he only played 7:28 minutes , he clearly was the difference maker with a +7 +/-. With that said, I’m awarding him the bench bunch game ball.
+1 +/- per minute is difficult to ignore and shuffle under the rug claiming it’s a misleading stat.A clear example of how misleading +/- can be.
Pacers loved it when he was in, TT setting screens is a negative, they trapped the ball handler and sagged off to cover shooters. Love, Nance, LBJ and Green, that should be our big rotation until Lue wakes up and gives Zicic some minutes.
Zizic can provide those same hustle plays while actually being able to score in a variety of different ways. I don't know why anyone would want Tristan in except for some silly hope that he will be able to turn back the clock to 2016.I dislike TTs play as much as anyone on here but he did give a couple minutes of good hustle play. I felt like the problem was Lue played him too long. One 4-5 minute stint in each half so he can go all out would have been fine instead of the 7.5 minutes he got. On offense let him rebound and tip backs. Drill in to him to always pass the ball. When he tries to score it's like he is moving in slow motion and everyone can predict exactly what he is going to do.
Expecting Zizic not to commit several rookie mistakes is a bigger gamble than playing the highly experienced TX2. With that said , I’ve never seen a fan base so enamored with the 12 th man on the bench. Says a lot regarding Altman’s poor job of constructing balanced playoff team.Zizic can provide those same hustle plays while actually being able to score in a variety of different ways.
