Can Tatum stop taking nothing but really difficult shots? Like, come on, man. Not every shot has to be Kobe-esque.

It's literally the only thing holding him back from reaching that consensus top-5, MVP-level caliber player.

He's having the best year of his career from the mid range. He's at about 48% on 16ft->3point range according to bb reference.

But that's the problem with long two's, even at a relatively efficient level its still not a valuable shot.

White has been really cold lately.

Fortunately Towns is struggling a bit.

I wish the NBA players would get out of the way so I can watch the refs!

These refs suck. Celtics just don’t get the same whistle

So a benchie for the Wolves throws a fit and gets the late whistle but it Jason Tatum claps he gets a technical?

Terrible quarter.  We're really struggling shooting the ball.  Both teams playing solid defense.

Love Ant's old-school reliance on the bank shot.

He's one of the more likable young stars in the league.

Well, at least the C's are making their free throws this game.

Good Lord, refs. Ridiculous soft call.
