Tatum 1/8 from 3 lol. We lost in ot against the pacers because he kept on chucking 3’s. He’s undisciplined. He knows the best way to score efficiently is to attack the basket, yet he still wants to chuck 3’s. Its not like he shoots lights out like luka or antman.

The court is too small for players nowadays.
They need to widen it by 6 ft, and lengthen by 6 ft.

Defense was still there in Q3. Offense stalled. We’ll be ok. Hornets weren’t going to just roll over and die.

JT's one of the few players I can recall who's 3 point shot has dramatically fallen off from his rookie year.

It hit rock bottom maybe last year or the year before and stayed there.

At this point he'd be a better player if he just stayed away from taking any self created 3s.

JT and JB are now at 34% and 26% from 3 on the season.

This was basically his playoff offense last year..except he settled even more.

Or just stick to a PP height limit.

Mellow is good , but no way he can consistently make those hail mary threes.

Tatum’s assist numbers have gone down too after strong start to season. 1 assist vs 5 turns is nasty work.

I'd leave Tatum on the bench if this group keeps or builds on the lead...

I love these guys, it doesn’t have to be perfect, these teams are coming at us non-stop. We keep playing even though it’s not our best. Denver knows what it’s like after coming off a chip, it can overwhelm. Give us a month or two, we’ll be clicking like dominoes!

That golden state game will tell me a little as well. He gets punked by that team.

Ugggh.

Ya know. If Scheierman and Springer could play, they'd be in there.
Dare I say, Lonnie Walker would have been perfect tonight.
