Post Tatum is here.

Tatum’s natural game has always been more Kobe-y, and I think him trying to have a James Harden shot diet was really limiting him the past couple years, especially when the 3 wasn’t falling.

This year he’s found that middle ground between efficient shots and his own style, and its looked so much more decisive and controlled. Plus he added size and clearly worked on some post moves. Bro finally remembered he’s 6’8 and can just shoot over everyone.

It only works if you are literally incapable if the most basic part if the game.

Like, Giannis is a bad free throw shooter but hack a Giannis isn’t that prevalent because he still CAN make them.

If we’re talking about how basketball was “meant to be played”, players were meant to be capable of making free throws. That’s why they exist.

Basketball was also meant to not include dribbling if we get really pedantic.

Joe only cares about rules he can read

Hauser’s face on every dunk is hilarious. He’s just as surprised as us.

If Kornet can learn how to rebound and be a bit more physical he’ll be really nice off the bench. Nice game from him so far.

Joe understood the point differential assignment

Stroud the only reason I’m not blowing out my opponent, dude refuses to go away

DST, Broncos @CLE or Saints @ATL?

PPR

Roll with the Gus Bus @LAC or James Conner @LAR?

Feral, primal crypto scammer

No Tatum minutes being positive is massive for us

CHEMISTRY

Hornets now the best team in the East

Bruh he had Payton Pritchard on him half the game. This is such lazy analysis.

Quick reminder that sample sizes are still very small for threes. For example:

Porzingis is 33% right now on 21/63. If you take away his 1/8 on Monday, when he may have been tired/off, he’s at 20/55 which is 36%- exactly his career average.

So he goes from average to below average over one game. And he’s high volume- Pritchard is 30% on 15/49, which means that if he hits his next 4 threes he can go all the way up to 36%. One hot night

A single made shot increases his percentage by 1.5 points. There is no way you can call a season based on that.

Its easy to think that 14 games Is a good sample size, and it can be for the eye test or higher volume stats- but its still very small for something like threes where players only take a few per game.

Well it depends on which stint, he’s been here twice lol. Most recently we traded him to Indiana for Brogdon, where he hasn’t played due to injury/developing young guys.

Really wanted to bring him back a third time lol, we love him here and he seems to like Boston.

3 more points Devonta

I agree with Scal about Holiday’s lob connection with the bigs, but does he not know that the most iconic play of Jrue’s career is a lob? How do you forget about Giannis lol.

All I need is for him to hit his projection of 12. If he goose eggs again…

About to lose to a tanking dynasty team as the 1 seed (Mandrews and Achane) , I need this Herbert game winning drive like crack.
