Joe really cooled down JT by taking him after 6min.

Seems like that happens every single game.

So we don't play defense, just shoot threes, and Grant Williams doesn't play anymore.

Eh, we definitely haven't been playing D, and who knows what the deal is with GWill.

But our shot selection hasn't been too bad after the first minute or two. We've consistently either shot an open three or took it to the hole and aren't over-relying on the three. I'm fine with the offense tonight. It's the other side of the ball that is horrendous.

I just like paint touches. I don't mind inside out.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Do we know why?

Tatum started 4-4 then missed the next 2. Joe took him out. Since his return  he was then 1-6.

Jaylen should go to the Hawks. I bet they would appreciate him there.

Lol. With their imaginary fanbase? Okay...

All 7 fans would love that he was there.

Jaylen was booed here day 1. I’m not sure it has gotten better.

He was booed her day 1 because most considered him a reach at #3. To say that hasn't changed is just not based in fact or reality. There are dedicated swaths of this fanbase that believe wholeheartedly that he's better than Tatum and should be our #1 option.

Haha they wanted Kris Dunn, Jamal Murray, or Dragan. Horrible takes.

Fans thought Markelle Fultz was the next NBA great and were mad about trading back to get Tatum. Drafts are a 20/20 crap shoot.

There's got to be more than his on the court play. Either his injury is more serious than reported, or perhaps Grant's mouth got him in trouble.

Howitzer!

I wonder if his reemergence is part of why Grant's minutes have fallen off? He's held his own defensively when out there, even when getting picked on.

That and I think Grant has a nagging injury.
