Worst coach in the league, worst star, worst 2nd option, the worst player in the league played as the 2nd big, and yet we are still winning on the road.

Shai and Tatum has been fun.

17/4/3 for SGA, 15/7/3 for Tatum.

Jaylen had a really good stretch in that little run.

KP amazing.

Might be the most difficult pullup three he's taken all season and it goes in. Dort was all over him. Go figure.

Everyone knew that was going to be a step back.. But at least Tatum finally hit one.. Bringing his three point shooting percentage to close a quarter up to 12%
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Damn, filthy step back 3 by Tatum. Filthy. A 6'8"/6'9" guy doing that and making it look so smooth is nuts.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I’m surprised he doesn’t get stripped more, it’s like he just palms it out in front.

We got December JB last few minutes. Keep it simple, don't try to do too much. OKC is handsy.

Joe is a fan of watching games in slow motion. :nonono:


Part of the reason is because Kornet is playing well on D. Forced 2 travels. Couple of deflections. I get that Kornet is everyone's favorite whipping boy and all but his length is having an impact out there.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Probably uses his off arm to push guys away. NBA ball handling is just a sham at this point.

On the plus side, it clearly wasn’t his first option there. He wanted to drive, but OKC shut it down.

He’s only taken one three so far, which is crazy lol.
