I like these games.

Sometimes we need a reality check to refocus after dominating so hard lately, it's really only us and Denver anyway so it's a good measuring stick to see what we need to do to get over the hump.

Crowd the paint. Make them make threes. They're leaving the dunker spot. Help off shooters. If they make threes, tip your hat.

Probably. but despite Tatum’s horrific game, we’re still right at it in the end and at their home floor.

I can't get too invested in this team for as long as it's led by Tatum. It's just going to end in disappointment every year.

The missed free throws were the different in the game and Tatum stinking up the joint.

Quite a few of them had horrific game and we were still right in it, not worried it will be an amazing series just be healthy that's all I ask for.

Sure BOS is close to them but they're still better.

Expected much more from our #1. Disappointed in him most of all. Everything else we didn't do is just poop gravy.

I believe Tatum had 6 points in the second half.

We had our reality check against the Cavs.
Tatum must have missed that one!

He's just not the smartest dude in the NBA. Skills alone will not take you to the promise land.

Because he thinks he could just turn **** on whenever he wants.. If he was.
Aggressive early , it would totally change the game plan on denver's defense..

I'm sorry but all the narratives that are negative about tatum gets louder because of games like this..
