That was a really good ~4 min stretch without Tatum. We extended the lead by 1 and could have been up double digits but Mitchell’s going psycho

I feel like you gotta be okay letting Mitchell take contested 3s. Just hats off if he makes em. I don’t want to double.

I'd like to see a lineup of Jrue, White, Brown, Tatum and Hauser. Though they will still just hunt Hauser. Mitchell just gonna find the mismatch he wants and keep scoring

Can we go small? No Horford or Kornet? Tatum at the 5? I think both Tatum and Jrue can give Mobley some trouble and it’s not like he’s an explosive scorer. Our bigs are just garbage with no Porzingis. Horford shouldn’t be playing this much but we got no choice with no bigs

We'll know the result in a while.

If the lead grows then Joe is right in putting Kornet back in.

These are not even contested. The ones on Al were basically wide open and the one where Hauser got sniped he was open also. They have to tighten this **** up or this dude will not miss.

They are defending him. We keep getting caught in switches. They are hunting our bigs and Hauser

Joe takes full blame for this switching scheme. These are practice shots for Mitchell.

I would be surprised if more than one of them count as contested right now.

We doubled. He passed to Wade we stunted at him he passed to Steus who hit a 3 at shot clock buzzer. Can't leave the other shooters
