Good bounceback win, and love the dominant effort all 2nd half

[jpotter33]

Much better effort and overall play tonight, at least in the last three quarters. More of that moving forward please.

Tatum really should be the MVP but it's probably gonna be Jokic or SGA just based on stats. But Tatum really is playing at an MVP-level this season no question. Leads this team in almost every category as well

[Vermont Green]

Interesting couple of games to show the impact of turnovers forced and ORebs.  In this game, shooting percentages were pretty even, both teams shot well.  But we had 93 FGA and BKN had only 79 FGA.  This is because we were +9 in ORebs and +5 in TO forced (takeaways).  This led to 14 additional "completed" possessions.  We had 6 more FTA and that does affect this also, depending on it the FTA is an "and one", two shots, or a tech.

I have said all along that I think ORebs are an underappreciated stat.  You hear people say that this team or that team won the "rebounding battle" referring to total rebounds.  But you are supposed to get the defensive rebound when the other team misses and if the other team misses more, you get more rebounds.  An offensive rebound has more impact on the game.

We play small.  We need to hold our own and not let the other team out offensive rebound us.  And of course not turn the ball over.  We did that last night and presto, an easy win.

When Tatum let's the game flow through him while setting up his teammates, he is one of the 5 best players in the league. When he does that, his shot is falling, AND he brings defensive intensity, he is the best player in the league.
