Mook for dropping in a rainbow three with three guys on him like it ain't no thing.

But Larkin (especially end of the third -- wow) and Tatum (yes please, lots more of that please!) were awesome too.

Glad we got Monroe. Glad we're still fighting. Hope we can play Jabari Bird instead of Nader now.

Easily the best game of his career. Want to see more of this mindset for a top pick.

Carmello Anthony. No close second. He was terrible all game, jacking up bad shots and playing zero defense. Then he bricks the two free throws at the end.

I'm not sure how Westbrook, George and Adams can stand playing with this guy.

Again, you have to commend what Ainge has done.

How many fans could enjoy the chance to compete while watching their young players develop. It's usually mutually exclusive, but we have the privilege of watching Brown, Tatum, Smart and even Rozier grow right before our eyes while being close to actual contention.

Tatum is the truth, no pun intended.


I'm 100% sure the struggles he ended up with were more about the finger injury than anything else. Some of the guys with whatever agendas they got were trying to act like it wasn't a factor.

Also Melo gets the Victory Cigar for missing those two free throws.

Nader was +7 tonight. In case anyone was wondering whether +/- means anything.

Ainge, for drafting Rozier when realgm said it was dumb, for trading AB for Morris when realgm said they didn’t understand it, and for trading an all-time headcase for Jayson Tatum and another lotto pick when realgm said he was getting fleeced.

Oh, and for never seriously entertaining a Melo trade even though some fools on realgm said hey let’s give it a shot.

controversy in 3-2-1...


he isn't horrible when he isn't paired with Semi. i think both are less turrible when they are apart. their shooting is terrible all the time though.

I like how the Thunder went from not really respecting Tatum earlier in the game, to double teaming him late in the game. :lol: I really want to see OKC miss the playoffs!

Tatum with the VC for sure. Larkin runner up and Morris hit an incredible three to seal it.

Horford and Semi did their best to try and lose this one with a lot of silly looking blunders between the two of them. Semi had a few key boards, but other than that, his 0/6 was embarrassing to watch. I wanted to vomit when I saw him on the floor with under 4 minutes to play.

Semi is just a horrible offensive player. You can't hide too many of those on the court at once.

might have to change my vote to Tatum -- just realized he assisted on one of Al's two made field goals tonight (!), AND on Nader's made field goal as well!
