Tatum and Brown look phenomenal.  They finally both look like the players they were last season.  Is it a coincidence that Hayward is out for the game and both look good?

Somebody predicted that response before the game, lol.

The biggest difference is that they're taking it to the rim.

Yes, just a coincidence. Brown and Tatum have played their best ball with the starters in this game.

I posted at the beginning of this thread that I was wondering how long before this was mentioned 

My personal answer is that it’s only one game and Jaylen and jayson have significant time when Hayward isn’t on the court with them anyway. What’s different about them is not the absence of a player it’s that they are cutting and driving to the rim with purpose instead of taking lazy jump shots

I think it’s a case of not trying to step on each other’s toes too much. I think Tatum and Brown have both looked aggressive because they don’t need to defer to Hayward. Not a case of too many mouths to feed tonight

Another soft call.

Didn't Jordan have a technical for arguing with the refs earlier in the game? Shouldn't that be a disqualification?

Apparently DeAndre Jordan is not getting thrown out for the second tech, as it was deemed "non-unsportsmanlike." Haven't heard that one before. Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown was given one for giving a shoulder to Luka Doncic as the rookie was running upcourt.

Anyone ever heard of this??

That's garbage.

Anyone else heard of this??

This.

[jpotter33]

13-6 fouls  Once again different standards of officiating on each side of the floor.

[BitterJim]

Great D by Morris there. Doncic couldn't do anything

[Neurotic Guy]

Morris - nice D.  Looked a little like a rookie...
