Finally aggressive JT to start. 7 shot attempts early with a mixed of hard drives to the hoop is what we want to see.

Nice quarter. I really didn't like that last shot by tatum, but it went in, so that's great.

And look where that got us, 28 points which would've been a lot higher if we made our open threes at the same rate as in the Kings game.

D.White magnificient,
Hauser come on,
I'm in favor of acquiring a Hauser upgrade out there.

Two fouls on Brown, some garbage,
Tatum comes alive like Peter Frampton.

I love Zubac,
that guy eats nails for Breakfast,
if the Paper Clips implode in the Playoffs again,
I want Zubac as a Horford upgrade - he's more limited of course, but Porzingis - Zubac
would lock up the C/PF for years.

I want some Big PP dynamics today,
flood the premises with sweet goodness.


Good that Tatum woke up....

Ayo! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Early foul trouble by JB did that. JT usually plays less in 1Q

ideally, you don't. But not sure we have much of a choice, with KP and Svi both out today..

Queta is the backup 5..and we pretty much have to put either Brissett/Banton/Lamar in there at some point this game..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Not a good shot by JT but he’ll make em from time to time. What you hope is that he doesn’t do too much of those unless he’s hot.

It's fine. Corrected right away.

Brissett came in for Brown. PP usually among ones early off bench. He came in for Brissett.

The rim has been extremely favorable. Not looking forward to switching sides in the 2nd half.

I’m really liking Brissett’s hustle as of late. He keeps this up, he can find consistent minutes. It’s not even about scoring

Brissett then just leaves Harden open.
