Nice to see Tatum getting to the line but not a fan of how he just flails to draw fouls.

What's frustrating is this - why does Tatum not do this every single game? His offense would be soooo much more efficient and he'd clearly be squarely in that MVP conversation every year if he traded 3-4 iso jumpers every night for drives to the rim.

You're calling that a foul but not the stuff on Brown on the other end? Good Lord, zebras.

Haven't scored in 1:30 when it was a good chance to pull ahead by 10+...

He also has 6-8 FT which IMHO more than makes up for that - that means 4 fouls drawn on opposing players in 18 minutes of play.

Unfortunately they have played this half like so many others at home in the playoffs.
