Would be interesting to see what would happen if the defender backed right off KD. Dude thrives playing off of his man, seems he shoots a better percentage contested than wide open

Ya it’s weird I’m watching the game and it seemed like KD and Tatum are the two who are actually making buckets. I come on here, if I wasn’t watching the game I would think Tatum has been the worst player on the court or something.


Thats because most people watching Tatum just knows that when he gets it NOBODY else is touching the ball


Bam and Draymond have 5 of the 8 assists, nobody is passing lol. It’s pretty much all iso, and hoping the shots go in.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

This is the first game I’ve watched. Has Booker and Dame looked this rough the entire time?

If we could just take care of the ball this game would be over… as soon as we get far ahead we have stupid turn overs

Probably the only context I can root for KD these days. He's killing these doods. Jrue is fun to watch defensively imo. Just sticky and suffocating.

Perhaps going at Jrue is not the play.
