Kyle is just outside of triple-double watch....nice little fantasy stream for me.

I've already called Ant for 40 tonight so he's going to score 26 in the 2nd half.

As long as they make it competitive, I'm happy. A win would definitely be a whole lot better though :lol:

I get that it would be a decent effort to stay close tonight, but I'm never happy with moral victories.

We just need KAT and Jaden to shoot straight in the 2nd half and everybody else keep doing what they've been doing. Jaden can't shoot straight so far, but neither can Tatum so he gets some credit for D.

Anthony Edwards’ unforced turnover leads to a Jayson Tatum three.

If you want to beat a good team, you can’t have those mental mistakes. It was absolutely unforced.

Both teams perfect from the line tonight. Problem is they got 7 more than we do.

Like, why do we need THAT shot selection by Anthony Edwards? Just swing the ball, dude. I don’t care that you just made a contested three, play with the team.

It’s the next step in his development. He will (hopefully) get there, but it turns a spectacular offensive performance into a high-volume one with the turnovers and fadeaway 22-footers. He has the tendency to become a momentum killer.

You don’t want to slow down Ant but he turns it over going against three Celtics and then goes one-one-one, no ball movement, and takes a really bad, contested long two.

KAT with a double double already and we need him to be huge on the boards with no Rudy tonight.

We are giving them a lot of wide open corner 3s.
