[Silas]

Tatum silky smooth tonight.

Oh by the way, great D.

Not sure why folks don’t like Scal on color. He knows the game and is quick to explain what happened.

I like scal but sometimes he becomes a bit of a fan boy for the other teams players.

True but at least he absolutely drools over Tatum’s game.

Awesome stat about Smart

Smart minutes were pretty good last night vs Atl

The starters had positive +/- at the end of the 3rd quarter with Schroder, Grant, and Richardson having double digit negatives. They didn’t pull their weight on a night when Tatum was off on the road.

To be exaCt everyone smart defended had zero points last night vs the Hawks. Unreal

Yeah but on the offensive side he's pretty offensive.  It's why I prefer smart coming off the bench akd closing games when the team needs a stop.  The cs need a legit PG.

I like him too.  I don't like is that he's wrong on questionable foul calls at a pretty high rate.   Gorman who I love and hope is there as long as he can breathe, has lost a few mph on his fastball.

Pritchard is just glued to that bench.

Seems like a guy you'd want out there against a zone.

Yeah!

Crazy!

Since the starting lineup has been one of the best in the league in NETRTG, you’d think Udoka would set it up so they close the halves together, but he moves away from it.

More frustrating than the inconsistent play and the losses, at this point, is the lack of minutes from PP, RL and AN.  Got to play these guys.

Ime likes to stick with his vets.

Just like me.  35 years in at my job and I forget stuff now during meetings.

I think they just need to get rid of Schroeder. Those are the worst minutes.

Even the bench lineups against the Hawks were playing well, thanks to good D. Last night was the bench at its worst - JRich and Grant were stinking it up on offense - but they're still good on D. At best, Grant and JRich are pretty good 3-and-D players.

He's moving away from Schroeder now. Wonder what happens.
