I know Jaylen hit a ton of big shots, but Tatum was by far the best player on the court tonight.

I won’t fight anyone who gives Jaylen the VC though, we don’t win if he didn’t get it going in the 4th.

Philly turned the game around in the third when Tatum went to the bench.


3D chess kind of nailed it, he is basically Kawhi out there at this point. I know that sounds like blasphemy, but a monster defender who can go ISO whenever he wants, and the on/off numbers speak for themselves.

Just when he heals his wife will go into labor


Maybe Baby G will decide he's had enough of Robyn and decides to come out early?

Maybe. With no Hayward that means Smart is going to start which already makes the bench that much weaker.

But **** fam... without the fans this still feels like a weird version of Summer League.

That players, across the board, are playing with just as much intensity as always. That should be enough for us as fans.

The guy can’t stay healthy to save his life. Wish their was a way to get rid of him.


Yeah let’s get rid of one of the best 4th options in the league, solid plan. Also, their is the wrong use there. Be better.


Yes in street clothes most of the time.
