[Jiri Welsch]

Let's get a win! 

[ozgod]

Is this our usual slow matinee start

[ozgod]

 Good response, two trays from JT and we?re breaking

[jpotter33]

Simply amazing how good JT looks already.

He?s clearly been going full speed for longer than has been reported.

[Redz]

Great stretch there.  Beautiful ball movement and cuts.  Tatum looking all Tatummy. 

When Hauser is on they are so hard to defend. 

[Celtic Fan Forever]

Nice run after a tough start. Tatum starting to find his rhythm and big time shooting by Hauser

[Silas]

Sam is the man so far...good start.

[Neurotic Guy]

Good response, two trays from JT and we?re breaking

I think the announcers were confused - it was two 3's for Hauser.   Tatum hit mid-range plus the 3.  As you said, good response to the Cavs early lead. Mobley off to a great start. 

[Neurotic Guy]

Tatum.  Amazing!

12 point in 7 minutes? 

[ozgod]

This JT today looks much more like the old JT? Aggressive, driving the ball, not afraid of contact. 12 pts, 4-5 shooting, 1-2 from 3, 3-3 from the line, 2 reb, 1 assist and it?s only halfway through the first quarter

[ozgod]

They are looking for JT a lot more I think Try to help his confidence

[ozgod]

Wonder why they never ever call that push off from Harden

[Redz]

Full regular rotation minutes for JT. 

Pretty amazing.

[Neurotic Guy]

The good news is obvious.  The question is, how does Jaylen stay engaged when both are on the court. Has to adjust. 

Jaylen should find more space now to take his midrange.

[Neurotic Guy]

Scheierman's hook was nice to see.  He has been solid.
