No way that was an offensive foul.

That finish from Kyrie was ridiculous.

Need Brown on the floor. He's already making a difference.

KD's jumper has been way off. His jumpshot reliance in general is worrying.

Lol.

He's only the most efficient scorer in NBA History and, by far, the most efficient scorer in Finals history.

There is nothing to worry about.

Even though he’s only guarded Tatum once or twice, I think Kyrie had the best approach towards defending him. We should be pressuring him as soon as he catches the ball. If you let great scorers get into their setup moves that they’ve practiced ad nauseum, scoring is more or less a formality even with a hand in their face. Pressuring them from the start gets them out of that rhythm. You want every dribble to be as uncomfortable as possible. He still might score a lot but he’ll expend a ton of energy doing so. That kind of repeated effort should wear him down by the end of the series, if not by the end of each game.

Got to get the other guys involved right now since KD doesn't have it. I'm sure it'll come back to him, but everything has been short from him.

KD is stinking up the gym. Give Harden the ball to set up shots

Not disputing that. He'll find his rhythm though. Always does.
