Maaaan they just showed the slo-mo clip of that DW transition block.  That was even more ridiculous than it looked live.  Love this dude.

Tatum looks just as bad as last night. Wow.

Yes. Something’s up. He’s tentative. He looks old…

Last year Tatum played erratically for a month after the ASG.

Hope it doesn't happen again this year.

He has played too many minutes this season and may be worn down - just in time for the playoffs.

Can't really complain. Great half. Durant kept the Suns it in but he's Durant.

Would be nice though if Tatum woke up. 3-11 shooting, some bad turnovers and poor dribbling. The other issue with JT sometimes is after a tough game or two he suddenly has this stretch of inconsistency. Feels like it's happening again since the 4th quarter of the Cavs game

Oh Gawd, just saw who was calling this game for ABC.
So glad now that I had the volume muted even before the game started.
I’m always (usually) muted. The chatter annoys me - even the locals.
Nice half. Something’s not right with Jayson - hope he gets it going in the second half - almost seems like he’s lost some confidence. That can’t happen.

People who understand basketball respect DWhite.  Impacts the game on so many levels.  Holiday too.

tatum does the exact wrong thing when he’s struggling. that stupid momba mentality has screwed him up and convinced him that iso is the way back, instead of playing within the offense and taking his shots in the flow. pass and cut, young blood, and let the game come to you.

Amazing yes, but tell me you weren’t thinking there was a good chance he’d make a play.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen anyone block a shot while reaching backwards. That was impressive.

more of big Al in the high post, please. this is how this team is built to play.

Joe doesn't design his offense around his personnel and their strengths, he just shoves his 3-point attack down the throats of whoever is on the floor and if anyone questions the wisdom of this approach, he gets sarcastic and condescending.

I always think he'll make a play.

I know it sounded goofy live, but I loved that comparison by Reddick. Even the stars ("batman") need Alfred/Robins and D-White is the perfect guy next to Tatum/Brown for that.

Reddick is solid, glad he's part of the crew now

Pretty sure he has played less minutes this season than ever before. People need to stop making excuses for him.
