JT is so inconsistent with effort. This game has been worse than normal though.

Should have retained Lamar. At least that guy can shoot and attack the basket. Hauser just gives you nothing if he can’t knock down 3’s.

Kobe bryant is tatum's idol.. Think about It... All the years Kobe has played.That is one comment never ever said about kobe.. I've heard that said about tatum like two hundred times in his career already..

Just noting..

May be his idol but like you said he plays nothing like him

Tatum’s bad offense also effecting his defense. Can’t let Obi Toppin and Nembhard just dribble past you for easy layups

Let's try some Tillman

Pacers were -12 with Hali on the bench, we were +15 with Tatum on the bench, not sure which is more telling. Not a great half for Tatum.

All in all an encouraging half.

hauser and dw with wide open looks and we don't connect on either one, this would be a larger lead had they done something there. That could've made them take the ball out so we could at least try to get our defense in position.

Brown didn’t want to pick up his 3rd foul, smart move. Ton of game left

Would've been a smart move if it was the start of the 2nd quarter but not the final play of the half. Can't give away points like that.

2 points, disagree completely

He has all but disappeared.

Whenever Haliburton plays like **** they say it's because of his hamstring injury in Janurary, so yeah why not, JT is only playing poorly because of his ankle injury in ECF game 7 last season.

Finally you are warming up lol.

Getting overlooked by Tatum’s performance but White’s been pretty bad too

We need to push the ball at them , they are turn style defenders

2 points are huge.

One thing is certain: Tatum will bring it big time in second half. Just hope the team keeps up defensive effort and controls pace. Indiana will not go away.

White is a role player. JT looked like a role player, an awful role player.

Only negative in the starting lineup has been Tatum

So is 2 for 8, 3 turnovers and -9

It would also be nice if Tatum took his head out of his derrier and started to realize he is in the playoffs
