I know Tatum and Brown made shots, but 1st Q was gross offense from us apart from Smart's playmaking.

After a lot of angst, turned into a pretty normal quarter. We'll pull away eventually.

You can’t just drive recklessly to the hoop like he was doing in that first run in the 1st quarter. Now he’s finding and picking his spots like a real professional basketball player/scorer.

Nah. Tatum has to shoot those or at least make the defense think he will. At the beginning of the year he refused to shoot a mid-range and that lead to him not being able to get to the hoop. When he hits a couple it's opens up his whole game.

Back to back turnovers by Smart lol

VeryMuchWoke · Post #509 » by **VeryMuchWoke** » Sun Jul 26, 2020 6:07 pm

Why do we have Smart initiating offense with Kemba on the floor and Wanamaker initiating offense with Smart on the floor?

Ridiculously late call.

Or he's settling for mid range fall aways, the worst shot in basketball, like all of 2018 and the Suns defense is being made to look like all-stars due to his lack of effort.

that pass was never getting to theis, wasn't a good decision at inception.

VeryMuchWoke · Post #515 » by **VeryMuchWoke** » Sun Jul 26, 2020 6:09 pm

I worry about the way Kemba draws free throws translating to the playoffs.
