When I saw how late Smart started, knew that was a blown possession.

Joe basically said he's not in the rotation for this series.

Tatum makes the game look effortless so very often lol.

Also, after that rough first few minutes, I think Jaylen has played REALLY good, don’t care about the shooting or box score.

Grant probably isn't the best against these more athletic bigs anyways

Brogdon playing some serious defense tonight. Great to see.

Only 1 steal looks undercounted.

Tatum's game seems a bit too finesse lately, he gets to the hoop but seems scared to take it to the hoop even when he is open under the hoop. Only 2 FT attempts so far in the postseason.

They just can't get it right. Good players, they got a bench, depth but they can't figure it out.

So many easy buckets and open looks. I know the hawks aren't known for their defense but wow. Alot of that was waaaaaaaay too easy for us.

Don’t forget D White and RW3. Both were awesome!

Definitely. When I saw JB dig to poke the ball free earlier in the quarter, I recognized his effort level on defense is high tonight.

Hawks have a billion turnovers. If it wasn’t for Murray getting hot from deep they’d be down 20. This is just a mismatch. Nothing in this game has shown me otherwise.

Tatum has the whole defense paying attention to him. When that happens, White is so good at reading where to be when that is happening and is making the hawks pay

I want White and Rob locked up long term as soon as we can offer them a deal. Those dudes are so crucial to winning basketball
