East Conf. Finals - Game 5: Cleveland Cavaliers 83-96 Boston Celtics - Cavaliers' Player Ratings

Tristan Thompson - 4/10

#13 Tristan Thompson posting up

Stat line: 1 point, 6 rebounds (1 offensive), 1 assist, 0-3 FG's, -15

Where's the energy?

Even in the team's earlier losses in Boston, Tristan Thompson was at least providing some energy and doing his bit in his limited minutes. Today, he just disappeared. It was like he wasn't present. Cleveland was trying to post him a little in the first quarter (Why would you do that?) and a true test of Thompson's performance is the number of offensive rebounds he gets.

In Game 5, he only had 1 out of the 7 boards that he registered.

For a rim-runner like him, he can't miss all his attempts from the field. He had only 1 point today, which meant the Cavs starters barring LeBron and Love only combined for 10 points. Yes, you read that right. This just won't cut it.

The younger and hungrier Celtics might just play this gassed, winded and mentally fatigued team off the court.
