Also these refs are trash

No collapse.

Cs just need extra time to put this one away.

Hopefully it will be over with 3 minutes remaining.

This has got to be the lowest Game Thread post count, I've ever seen here.

Jaylen Carrying us home.

Wish Tatum would pass a bit more instead of trying to play hero ball.

Under 5 minutes remaining.

Time to start taking out the starters.

For me Porzingis' form right now makes up somewhat for Tatum's slump.

Hopefully more 30 point games to come for the Unicorn, he got his shooting stroke back !!

Why play the starters in a blowout with 3 min left?

Billy Donovan does not care if both KP and JB get 60 as long as Tatum does not get 20. :lol:

Do we also complain when KP takes these many threes? I can no longer keep up. Or only when he misses them?

JT bad shooting night again.

But never hesitates to make the pass to the open man and JT does a great job getting out of traps.

It's almost always open C&S shots and he's a 40% shooter. So no, we're good lol

He's shooting 40% on his season so far. He can fire as many as he likes.

I don't get running the clock at end of games
You get 1-2 minutes of garbage time - that's 2-3 possessions. Why get only 1 possession and run the clock?
