Release the HOUnds 😤🤘🚀
That push was wild
I know one thing. When the physicality gets turnt up The Cavs fold like towels fresh out the dryer. In the playoffs the games are going to be physical. They will slow the cavs down so that the offense doesn’t get into a Rhythm. The cavs right now look like a good Regular season team. I don’t know if the way they are built will be able to withstand the physicality of the playoffs.
Who else's was at fault, ask your self was Garland in the game when cavs took the lead
So when are we going to talk about Donovan's rancid efficiency. 7/21 is terrible.
GARLAND 8TH IN SCORING AND 7TH IN ASSISTS AMONGST EASTERN PG. HES A BELOW AVG PLAYER AT BEST. STOP CALLING HIM AN ALL STAR. HES TRASH.
Release the HOUnds! #LORNation
Gotta get used to physicality. Ever since the 2nd half of last season, NBA has called less fouls and allow more physical games, and it isn't going to get less physical in the playoffs
The teams with great defenses have figured out the Cavs.
Release the HOUnds😂🚀 baby
Ive had to come to the realization the cavs will lose the majority of their next few games before the break. I dont see them advacing in the play offs. Theyre not ready and this game and the game against the hawks proves that.
Great Job Garland!!! Houston loves you 🚀
This was such a winnable game I wouldn’t even blame this just on Garland. Sure he should’ve hit all his freethrows but the rest of the team missing open shots, Sam Merrill not shooting well is gonna translate to a loss.
sam Merrill and max struss better be Brooklyn nets
Fred van vleet is a champion..Donovan Mitchell is not
Fred van vleet is a champion..Donovan Mitchell is not
Garlands been great in the clutch this yr but late in this game he fall back into his over dribble then drive into heavy traffic habits of old and mitchell also made mistakes in crunch time. Live and learn and onto the next game
Fred van vleet is a champion..Donovan Mitchell is not
I just hope garland wasn’t betting on the game and missed those free throws on purpose hopefully thay
EVEN REFS WANNTED TO WIN CAVS NOPEE LETSSS GOOO ROCKETS
