Brad I am begging you to bring Lonnie Walker back. Sam Hauser is broken.

[jpotter33]

Welcome to Shaqtin, Hauser! That was bad.

Young just throws up slop and it goes in. What a joke.

Can't go wrong with PP in the 4th quarter.Do it Joe.

That was actually an awesome end to the quarter despite that late ATL 3.

Ended on a 23-9 run

I'm standing by Hauser even when he makes an ass of himself, lol.

I still get PTSD from his shot against us in Game 5 of the 2023 first round lol

Play the 4th like the 3rd and it's a win.

This is just another example of why we simply have to have the ball in Tatum's hands more. He just creates so much gravity for everyone else to thrive off of, and his playmaking has developed enough to really hone that level of touches. Too often the "equal opportunity offense" stuff gets interpreted as each player calling their own shot, when it should more often than not come off of better playmaking/passes.

the ball is in Tatum's hands enough. He leads the team in shot attempts, FGA, FTA's touches, time of possession. The key in that quarter wasn't giving it to him more, it was him not sucking.

Now let's see how we stand the non-Tatum minutes to start the 4th.

I think it was the right call to keep Tatum in the entire third, as he was the one leading the comeback. But now we'll have to survive the early fourth without him, which hasn't been working well for us lately.

More would be even better, especially with everybody else in a funk right now.

[Silas]
