We were lucky to pull that win out. Shooting 60% from 3 point line will forgive a lot of other mistakes.  We won't be that lucky most of the time.

Of course, to me the best news is that Kemba looks great. 

I was happy to see Tatum recover, but worry that he did nearly all of his scoring from 3 point line.  His inside game still looks fragile to me.

I think he's hesitant to drive into the paint when there is a 7 footer in there.  Lopez was altering all his shots on Friday, and then on one of his first drives, Nurkic did the same.  He'll figure it out and start attacking soon.

Hey everybody, I've just been given the word to cancel the

Jason Tatum unconditional release documents I was asked to prepare the other day?

Going to hang onto him for another game or two?

It's definitely day-to-day. One more bad game and I'm trading him for Jahlil Okafor.

Mike

Jahlil Okafor? You will be lucky to get a bag of peanuts for him.

I like to see a little bit of good in everyone. What can I say, I'm a giver.

Sigh teams are starting to figure out/expose Tatum by neutralizing him in the paint

This is a complete overreaction. 6 of Tatum’s made field goals weren’t 3 point shots, and he got 9 FTAs. Having a bad interior scoring game against the best interior defence we’ve seen in a while isn’t him being “figured out”

I love Hayward, he played two solid games so far, but he got stripped several times against the Blazers, especially down the stretch. He's going to have to tighten up his handle going forward if we want to pull out close games against good teams.

to be fair, everyone who handled the ball a lot for the C's got stripped throughout the game.
