Starters with 103 points and counting. Another game where every starter scored in double figures.

15-1 when they're available. Yes, I'm booking the win. No way they screw this up.

It's the Celtics and the Nuggets.

There are other decent teams (incl the Knicks & Magic), but these are the two. Would be a travesty, aorn, if this isn't the finals matchup.

Yes the team has played much better offense since then overall, credit to him.

Is Tatum considered a good three pointer shooter?

Apparently he is.

There was this one list where he's listed as one of the best 3pt shooters in the NBA.

That's a 23-25 point win if we shot our 3s at the same percentage as they did.

Lakers with soft foul calls throughout the game, still nowhere near good enough.

And this is not even considered a great day shooting from 3 for the Cs.

You know the team is elite when it still wins comfortably even when they shoot poorly from 3.

Yes, but he sure takes a lot of bad 3-pointers and that lowers his percentage. I really wish his shot selection was better.
