Just shoot the ball man. Killing us. Always looking for a foul

I can promise you, we don't want this to be close with 8 minutes to go in the game.

Tatum needs to stop feeling sorry for himself and stop listening to Kidd and the media.

Tatum is scared to take a wide open shot now. Shoot the damn ball.

I mean - we're better but we're playing shot variance games again.

I agree there was no way they saw that but the call did end up being correct.

Tatum gotta be on a generationally bad last shot of the game season.

Y'all can't deny it. Tatum has the yips. He's literally afraid of the moment.

JT improving, but still uncomfortable. Mavs pressing him. Hopefully he finds the way... during the series...

Despite one of their worst Games; we're up 3, at the Half.

He was 100% scared there. Not a great sign.

While that is excellent it doesn't excuse his terrible offensive attempts just like that last shot!
Why we keep going to JT at the end of quarters is beyond my comprehension!!

JT has been great off the pass. Just want to see him remain aggressive. Regardless of whether he shoots it or not.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!
