3 fouls in less than a minute. Not good. Refs, let them play.

This is the exact reason why I don't like watching Giannis play. He initiates the contact and gets the foul.
Good assessment:

Tatum needs these FT's to get into a rhythm

Yup. A buddy of mine and I were talking about this. He said it shows what Tatum is all about.

Smart will take 10 3s at the very least. Let's hope he makes em.

Tatum's finishing at the rim has to improve

We have more talent from 2 on. These Bucks should be beat. Only coaching and officiating can prevent that

Tatum has looked pretty bad in every game so far, even going 50% on FTs. I’m concerned since he’s clearly out of rhythm and can’t finish for **** in traffic
