Two tidbits from the BG:
[Tatum] has connected on 50 percent of his shots just once in nine games since being sidelined with COVID-19 and after going 5 for 13 Thursday is now 20 for 55 over his last three.
He's also looked tired to my eyes. Haven't hunted up the stats for this post, but Brown's shooting seems to be regressing some, though that's not a surprise given how ridiculous his numbers were.
Walker is in the midst of an odd shooting stretch. Over the last three games he is 10 for 23 on 3-pointers and 1 for 21 on 2-pointers. “I’m still just trying to find my rhythm,” he said. “I went a long time without touching a basketball before I even started playing. I just got to get back to that stuff, which I will. It takes time, I have to let the game come to me a little bit. Nothing with my knee or anything like that.”
Strange stats. Kemba had the 4th best NBA efficiency for the game after SO, JT, and PP, but it was as a stationary catch-and-shoot performance that can't be sustained against good playoff defense. A good outing, but we need more. Kemba keeps saying his knee feels fine, so let's hope that this is all part of the road to recovery.
