agreed.. even more so, he likes to shoot first, hope to get rhythm, then he attacks.. I always thought it would be better the other way.. attack, attack and attack!!! then shoot

Great win.

Always nice to beat the Lakers.

Tatum for VC. He was great with 37 and 11 and shot well on top of that.

Smart was really good, finally. When is the last time Smart shot nearly 70% from the field? I don't remember and I'm sure no one else does either. He did it all tonight. Let's hope this game gets him going.

Schroder also played really well. I felt he would vs his former team.

Al was good too. So was Josh.

I'm not a big Ime fan so far, but he coached a good game tonight.

Single game +/- doesn’t mean anything really, but J Rich being +27 just feels right.

He’s been really good for us, brilliant defensively.

This ^ Smart will never be a steady shooter.. stick with what you do well..

Loved this game!
That is Super Star JT.
Cobra, Menace & Al were great.
Liked JRich.

**** you, baldy.
**** you, Fakers.

And JB about to return!
Rob has been a bright spot - hope that this is not another injury-ridden season

Understandable. He played in Miami and Philly after all. Dallas got a decent crowd though.

This offense should be good enough when Jaylen eventually returns, Rob too obviously. Think we can be a top 5 defense, and a top 10-12 offense if we are relatively healthy. Top 10 Tatum coming for them asses, get ready.

Now smoke the thunder tomorrow.

this is why other guys aren't getting minutes! it's not all about their poor shooting. jrich is doing things on both ends even though his stats may not stand out every game.

Before we get carried away however, this was probably the worst defense all year long.. Need to run off a good win streak first... losing any of OKC and Houston will put this game as meaningless IMO.

Underappreciated around these parts.

Gave the VC to Smart! He played great and in control. Still a brick machine, but he played to his strengths this game. JT was awesome. He didn’t settle and attack constantly, while making most open shots. Horford was great. Dennis was good attacking and dishing. Jrich was great as well. Would have been better if he makes those mid range shots to fall. I have to hand it to IME. He did good on this one. Plus he gave my boy Enes some minutes, can’t complain really! Good overall win against the Fakers minus JB and Rob.

Tatum gets plenty of undeserved victory cigars, but he absolutely deserved this one. That was a complete game: scoring at all three levels, rebounding, PASSING, defense.

I get what you are saying.. and yes he has played well. But coach giving him extreme confidence while Not giving any to others is huge to producing better.

Been saying that the past 3 seasons. Ime gets it after all. Up to JT to do this more consistently. We're a different team when he makes quick reads.

Marcus Smart. Game was over if he did not step up in the first half and taking it to the rim set the tone for others.

this is nba 2021, as good as we will end up on d (i rushed it sorry ime), you aren't going to win every game with d. we have to keep the same energy every night and we can beat ANYBODY!

I like Enes so much more than watching Grant at center..

Who smokes it tonight?
