Was hoping Tatum would be here to play this game after being much better last game.  unfortunately, no.  The airball and he could hardly gather the ball a bit ago.

Rozier if he's scoring is great but he isn't running anything.  I hope we let Larkin run the PG spot with the starters a bit.

Otherwise, pretty good considering how much they need Kyrie and don't have Smart either.

Larkin is supposedly out with knee soreness, too, which is why we've had to utilize Nader instead of him.

Just keep driving to the hoop. Knicks playing no defense inside. Stop with the difficult jumpers

Feels like if they follow that advice, it is a guaranteed win...

Trying to remember the last time Jaylen and Jayson both had good shooting nights. Oh, well. Can't complain much after that half considering we have one point guard healthy.

What... in the world was that from Tatum? He seems to be having some confidence issues, even after that stellar game in Denver.

 He's never played this many games at this intensity level ever before in his life.   The rookie wall exist for a reason.

I have definitely have to think that’s part of it. This is the time of the season that really messes with rookies. Hopefully he’ll bounce back soon.

Tatum is literally two whole days younger than me. And I'm nervous while just watching too  :o

Though I just got out of an Orgo lab 30 mins ago so missed early parts of this game lol (including the Poster sadly)

Some of its rookie wall, some may be the new baby, some may some regression to the mean (wasnt going to hit 50% from 3 all year). He'll eventually snap out of it.

Tatum!

Looks like that was a play developed specifically for Tatum to try and get him going.

Rozier really is a beast on the glass for his size.

Pound for pound, he's probably their best rebounder

Got to give credit to the refs tonight. Very solid game and letting them play for the most part.

once Jaylen Brown develops a euro step, watch out.

By the way is it 'a euro step' or 'an euro step' ? LOL.

The wrong one just sounds better.
