There you go, just shoot 3s if you're going to shoot.

3s will get Tatum into a rhythm and produce efficient offense.

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.

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.

Michael Jordan was a mid range scorer. Kevin Durant is a mid range scorer. Paul Pierce was a mid range scorer. Kobe Bryant was a mid range scorer. Kawhi Leonard is a mid range scorer.

Jayson Tatum has been shooting the mid range shot since high school. He is a mid range scorer. This is not going to change. Whether you like it or not.

Mid range shot =/= BAD.

hayward looks slow. is he okay? i know a lot of us are stuck in sand (on d) but hay looks off. it may be because they aren't really involving him in the offense?

Two games now where Semi has gotten in before Grant, even though Grant has more minutes played on the season. Potentially interesting development...

5-0 run for PHX once Wanamaker checked in

Air Theis!

Does anyone know what Wanamaker adds to the team when he’s on the floor? Why is he in the 8 man rotation?

By every metric he’s one of the worst defenders on the team too

I refuse to believe that Wanamaker and Semi are looking off Tatum for any other reason than Stevens wants them to show off what they can do before the games that matter happen haha

That's by Design.

we look horrible

Our entire offense is based on Theis illegally holding down their Center to give a clear dunking lane for Tatum. Have we run the pick and seal play even once today?

Clearly Stevens is trying to experiment on offense today it seems.

Wonder if SEMI's been hitting the three in practice...

Ojeleye certainly tries to do way to much from time to time, but I think he's starting to find his legs on offense.
