No need to aggravate whatever it is he's enduring.

It’s not injury, he’s just not playing well. We’re doing fine without him. You only reinsert him if it’s a must.

The knee is injured.
He needs to rest it.

Yeah, JB's injured.

Probably warming Tatum up to the physicality of playing 5 which he did some in the playoffs last year, like when Joe put him on Daniel Gafford at times when KP was out...
I don't love JT on the 5, it's putting your star under duress and foul risk, because he's giving up couple inches and 30 pounds against the average NBA center. I don't love that... But he can do it a pinch and he doesn't complain about, but still ... not a fan

He's always unguardable.. so long as he doesn't take. Lazy contested three pointers.

Just like OKC, so I guess. A big part is how the. Referees will call the game.

No doubt about it, JB is injured more than the C’s have reported . He needs to sit the rest of the way and rd 1 if you have to. That knee is super stiff, hopefully it’s not more severe than what’s being revealed.

Last three games we played against top teams, we've completely gagged down the stretch lol

ConstableGeneva · Post #237 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Apr 9, 2025 1:54 am

White has been subpar. His two-game with Tatum has been meh. But it's mostly because OG's defense on Tatum has been on point.

I really hate our late game executions.

PierceFan4ever · Post #240 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Wed Apr 9, 2025 1:55 am

Really JT…

Ugh Derrick white usually the most reliable in the clutch missed an open three and threw a bad turnover.

Pritchard was rough out there at times
