See, that's what I don't like about the keep chucking 3s mindset. JT made a great pass to JB on the corner where no one was remotely near him. JB could've driven hard to the basket and finished strong or dropped a dime when the help defense switches to him. Instead, it a 3pt brick.

JB just been lazy on D most of the night. Oubre was his guy. Already got free first time but passed up the shot then got free again.

I would close with Tatum, Brown,White, KP, Hauser. Jrue sadly looks cooked.

Another embarrassing performance by this team. Struggling against a team missing their best players
Lol.

Can’t give up open threes, I get doubling Maxey but white or holiday should play him one on one unless he’s in the paint. If he hits a tough shot over white or holiday you live with it

At worst I need Jaylen to score 1 point for 100 bucks.

I'd put Springer in there.

Tatum is so damn good this quarter. Reading the double teams and defense perfectly.

This is why I want white in the second unit with Tatum. They have amazing chemistry.

Also Maxey keeps looking for calls

We're at our best when we make the defense uncomfortable and you can't accomplish that just by shooting over them. You've gotta step into their defense and move them around. If you don't step into the d they can still feel like they're maintaining formation.

JB has sent his man to the FT line on his every foul.

Once he didn’t rise over Maxey and took 2 dribbles I knew a miss was coming. Gotta hit that

I'd like to know the avg amount of fouls called in a game today vs 30 years ago.

Plus that same statistic with under 5 minutes to go in a game.
