I'm about to lose it with White. It's like as soon as he hits a single shot he goes right back to those awful pull up deep threes. Joe has let his awful shot selection go for way too long.

&#OY%T!

Just bench him. I can't do it. We get back in the game by letting Tatum initiate the offense and create good shots for us, then White makes a three and decides it's time to go back to deep pull up threes for himself with two awful ones in a row.

Too many guys trying to play hero ball tonight.

Hauser is useless these days.

Good old-fashioned lid-on-the-basket day.  This just happens sometimes.

I do think White needs to rein it for a while.  He's taking way too many mediocre threes for a guy who has been cold for so long.

Man, Hauser has to hit those W-I-D-E open baseline threes. Great pass by Q to get it to him.

It amazes me that people foul Tatum on these threes. He shoots pretty well, but he's not some automatic knock down guy. If Tatum shoots a pull up three with an average contest you did okay on that possession.

White trying to shoot his way out of the slump. Just go to the rim.

I am concerned about Hauser.

I'm a White's strong supporter, but Joe needs to bench him when he starts to act like he was Curry

Tatum's scoring which is good. Don't like that everyone else is missing WIDE OPEN shots

Start up a package with Hauser, he's had his welcome here. Now it's time for him to go

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.

I've heard some guys around the league talk about guarding Tatum.  He's viewed as a streak shooter who can catch fire and bury a team by himself, so guys are really afraid of letting him heat up.  I think that's why he gets fouled behind the arc so often.
