Ime creating some intrigue before the game. I hope we blow them out this game.

So he's just throwing his former players that he "cares" about under this bus? What a great guy.

Scal is really fond of saying "if Tatum gets an easy basket" and I just sort of think that's really stupid. Tatum is a really good scorer, he's good weather he gets an easy basket or not.

Tatum getting a breakaway dunk early in the game has less than zero to do with anything he does after. He's been on a three point tear lately.

He's a dirt bag.

I think there's some credence to him getting an easy bucket early and getting into a better rhythm overall.

Kornet very ineffective thus far.

They're loading up on Tatum but he still found a way.  Nice baseline move before the double could come.

I think there's about zero. The guy has been on a heater for like 10 games now, that end of first quarter three didn't go down becasue he made a dunk five minutes ago.

This is the first game in a while (maybe all year) where the other team is attacking KP

It's not quite that reductive. Hitting a few shots earlier in the game helps players get into a better rhythm as opposed to missing a few early ones, starting to press, and just not taking good shots within the flow of the game.

I don't think Scal means "Tatum dunk ball. He score good now."

Man how did the officials miss that?  Sad we have to even challenge that.

Hiring blind officials hasn't worked out...

After they overturned that Jaylen foul call against Indy, I don't overestimate their intelligence.

Brooks should've fouled out already.
