Second half adjustment:

Lets not have Marcus Smart take 11 shots.

Smart has more shot attempts than JB. Smh…

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

how anyone can say that JB doesn't 'make a difference' or 'doesn't impact winning'?
I mean JT was great at the end of the 1/2 but JB also brought us back there as well.
I keep reading all this crazy stuff about how Jaylen doesn't matter...it is just insane.

JT really closed out the quarter well

Yeah, and doesn't seem to be a coincidence that it's after two days rest. I think we've seen that often enough that there's fairly solid evidence that a lot of his struggles recently are due to fatigue and lack of rest, particularly given the knowledge that he's a league leader in minutes played over the last several years due to his durability and long playoff runs.

So we need to keep that in mind the remaining games. Probably out of the running for the one seed now, but once we lock up the two seed we probably need to make sure Tatum gets lots of rest before the playoffs start.

What a Joe problem with the minute/load management then. Too many OT games too. Not fun for the core guys

Exceptionally played first half. I'd love to see the Kings in the NBA finals. That would be exciting series.

Stunned to see we had only one turnover the entire first half.  That has to be a season low.  Key is to keep care of the ball and put pressure on them.

Love that Joe has been putting Tatum on the block more tonight. Would love to see much more of that.

Strange challenge. That's a clear foul, though questionable continuation. Has to be mainly focused on getting the and-1 reversed, I guess?

Opened both the 1st and 3rd quarters with it.  I think it's a great adjustment.  He made a comment after the Utah loss that he should have found a way to get his best player going after Tatum didnt' score in the 2nd half.

It is more a question of how large of a difference to JB make. I agree with the idea that it is less than one would expect when glancing at his 26ppg 7rpg 3apg solid shooting stats.

Edit: Similar to the Kyrie. He clearly makes a positive difference but is it as large a difference as one would expect for such a highly skilled player / scorer. Someone who is a lethal shooter, top ball-handler and expert finisher going to the basket.

Outside a couple poor iso threes, loving Tatum's game tonight.

They can’t guard our wings (the Jays). Brown and Tatum need to stay aggressive and impose their will this half

Sacramento clearly slowing down and looking to have some fatigue now.
