Tatum is backkkk

I like Tatum, Smart, and Schroeder driving and kicking to open teammates. If only our guys can shoot better.

Defense needs a lot of work. Tired of teams making every threes against us

Smart had a layup there he didn’t need a kick out in that drive.

Absolutely zero things impressive so far this year except Jaylens explosion. Just win a Damn game so I'm not pissed off.

If PP can get all the open looks DS is getting, he would be killing.

Does anyone else notice, Mike Gorman getting a lot of calls wrong.
Like wrong players names, and actual points in the game?

When we want him to shoot, he doesn't.

But when we don't want him to shoot, he does!

Smart has 0 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists in his last 45 minutes of playing time. Got to give us more than that.

some solid basketball on both ends of the floor in that 2nd quarter.

Lots of outside shots that are going halfway down and then popping out. if eve n just 2 of those shots fell for us then we're up 8 at half.

not bad, considering we're on the road without brown and romeo.

houston is young and they're rebuilding. but clearly they have some talent. they have 3 guys who could possibly be all-stars within the next 2-3 yrs. Wood, Porter Jr and Green

You're asking for too much.

Smart is an Iguodala type player and he's now a starter.

Marcus Smart is at his best coming off the bench, giving the team that energy boost.

As a starter, he's not efficient.

Can someone show the replay to Tatum where he had Theis on him and he does a step back/side fade away 3??

Even though Tatum can make that, that doesn't make it a good shot..

good to see Tatum posting, driving, and cutting a bit, and frowning like a bad man too

yeah that was not a good shot by Tatum. He got lucky that Theis fouled him

Intangibles are nice, but if you're a starter, that kind of production is not enough.

yes, over the last couple of years, and it makes me sad because he's one of my favorite parts of the whole organization.
I haven't even thought 'who will replace Mike?' but some day someone will.

Just got in. Is Marcus the starting PG or Shroeder? Not much production.

I'm kidding..I hated that contract but hope he can maybe make it somewhat worth it with D and play making. We'll see.
