First points by White/Jrue/Pritchard in the game.
Banned temporarily for, among other sins, being "Extremely Deviant".

Too early.

If it's still close with 5 minutes remaining in the 4th then you're absolutely right.

But right now it's just a bad team with nothing to lose.

I hope this team is bored and will suddenly be serious down the stretch but I just hate the idea of flipping the switch because it rarely happens.

The defense can flip the switch, but the offense is really not good this season.

I'm more confident about the defense flipping the switch than the offense returning to elite status.

It's just not a good year for the offense.

Tatum making his shots today but some of these threes are tough and from deep. Find a way to get easier baskets

Chuck 3s in the regular season to keep those achilles, ACLs, and MCLs protected.

Only thing that comes to mind is he's practicing making tough shots.

Cs shooting better now.

It's just hard to win when the 3pt shooting % is 30% or lower.

This game has the energy of a league game for 50 year olds who get together at a middle school gym every Tuesday at 8 p.
Is this just televised cardio?

Both teams scored over 30 in that 3rd.

Now would be a good time for the Cs to get some separation.
