Nice 1st half against a good team.

Wow.  That was a hell of a shot by Tatum.

And he was fouled.

Still don't believe in Joe.

Terrible shot by Tatum. Gotta get something better than that. Lucky it went in.

SGA is too tall/long for White or Holiday. Need Tatum to guard him.

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.

Much better second quarter than first quarter. Good to be up going into the half. Now come out strong in the third!

God, SGA is unguardable.

When they let him hook and push like Jordan...

ok a nice push there by JT with a little JB as well.
this team is going to be a grind to beat, especially since they aren't turning the ball over much.

I haven’t seen Holmgren play.  Yikes - guy moves great for his size.  More impressed with him than I was with Wemby the other day.  OKC has a terrific young core.

They've fouled on most shots we've taken!

As good of a defender as Tatum is, SGA is way too fast for him. You'd essentially be giving up a height disadvantage for an even greater speed disadvantage.

Brown is probably our best bet guarding him, but he picked up two early fouls.

Sidenote - did not realize SGA is 6'6"! I thought he was closer to 6'1" or 6'2" with his speed. Man, no wonder he's so unguardable.

Tatum's rebounding may be an underrated aspect of his game.

Close half, good to see JT step up at the end
