Where the heck is the foul for Tatum? AD landed in his landing space. Tatum has to fall down there; that seems to be the only way the refs actually call it now for him.

hate ABC broadcasts -- and not just because I despise Mark Jackson and JVG - but because ESPN is at least 1-2 plays ahead of the broadcast

Every time Westbrick shoots from the perimeter it’s a big win for us

BROGDON!

[jpotter33]

Love when Brogdon takes it to the rim and doesn't just settle for the threes.

[Phantom255x]

JT! Good start to this quarter

[tenn_smoothie]

Talk about an up and down quarter for the C's.

That's why blocked shots are overrated.  2 blocked shots out of bounds, but the Lakers score on the next possession anyway.  Give me an altered shot instead of a blocked shot.

Why it is not coached that way, from high school up, I'll never understand.

I know why players swat the ball out of bounds - because they are dumb and think it is cool, but I would think coaches would insist. The foundation of the greatest dynasty in basketball was the blocked/altered shot kept in play by Bill Russell.

Luke doing a nice job tonight.

Great body control by Tatum on that last drive.

Yes excellent defense on that last drive

I'm actually a big Mike Breen fan. I think he's one of the better play by play guys for the national broadcasts. JVG isn't bad either, but they're always paired with Jackson who is terrible.

[Silas]

Joe benefiting from all these tv timeouts.

[slamtheking]

bad decision by Tatum to try to get a foul on AD.  refs will never call that

[Phantom255x]

Wow Kornet so far has looked good actually

Breen's the least offensive of the trio but he still spews the corporate BS which hypes the anti-Celtic storyline
