Wondering if Tatum's wrist is playing a factor from his fall earlier.

Just doesn't look right.

Wouldn’t mind if Tatum can get to the line just so he can remember to see what a ball going through the net looks like.

Another big deal over nothing. Matthews was just going for the ball.

How do you guard Giannis when he’s able to bully you and the second you try to defend you get whistled?

At first I didn’t think much of that Matthew’s play. Ok replay, he looks at him and dives at his knees.

Lol. U haven’t watched him play enough. Having bad game. Physical play and ball pressure getting to him.

What the hell is the Boston bench doing? Should've been given a T for that.

With the elbows, diving at legs, hitting players in the air. Some might say the Bucks are dirty.

Every Shot Tatum takes is a difficult one. Dude is way too reliant on shooting jumpers.

It definitely was Nets being really bad. C's are good though. Bucks just way better imo. Better roster construction as well. Nobody is a liability on either side of the court.
