Williams needs to sit for that. Just wow. What a dumb play. Shows lack of BBIQ there.

[Atzar]

And that's why he doesn't play long minutes yet.  Dumb play.

I wonder what % of RW shot blocks result in an easy followup hoop for the opposing team.

[Neurotic Guy]

Am I the only one who thinks the Cs have looked like a very average team since Hayward has gone down? They haven't been very impressive the past couple of weeks.

Not sure I totally agree. Long West coast trip -- came back strong in Denver and pushed LAC to OT.  Not that beating Sac is anything to write home about, but were one gust of AC away from winning there (was that a back to back?).

2 for 2 today.  He's not Bill Russell yet.

It was a lazy play and you are right -- that's a sittable offense.    I used to HATE the lazy leaves and behind the backs that Kyrie used to do game after game.  Hope RW just keeps learning -- which won't happen if he doesn't play.

Not so much commentating on record but actual way they look. They don't look that sharp. They looked good vs Clippers (until the meltdown in the 4th quarter) but overall against most teams, they don't look like a great team. Tonight is another example. Currently neck & neck vs the Knicks.

How many times did Scal say Dookie?

I hear you.  Team has generally picked it up in the 3rd when needed -- hope that happens today.

Another nice find by Tatum

[keevsnick]

Terribe call on Jaylen, that perfect defense.

Led to a 5 pt swing with a terrible call on Smart right after

[Neurotic Guy]

Big-time shots last 2 possessions by Tatum.

[esel1000]

Tatum is having a great game

[PAOBoston]

Cs just cant get stops. Disappointing effort defensively right now.
