JB 38pts but just 6-13 from the FT line ... 10pts from the bench and JT, Jrue & White weak support as starters. Sleepy Joe put on a much better showing! Yeah Joe must have had a couple shots before the State of Union.

Someone explain this to me . Three or 4 questions at the end
Holiday and White had one turnover each. Tatum 5.
Why when we have two good PGs we don't let them set the plays.
Tatum never plays off the ball he stands around 30 ft out watching. Great players play off the ball it cuts down on the double teaming.
When in the hell is he going to learn to play off the ball?. The rest of the team moves while he watches.
Why in the hell is Holiday guarding Jokic at 6'1'' and why doesn't Tatum ever guard the opposing teams best player?
Now this was the fault of Stevens teaching players bad habits and Mazz followed suit ?
Jokic and the rest of the Nuggets never stop moving on offense. It's constant cutting and setting screens or picks.
When was the last time you seen Tatum set a pick or screen? He's a spectator unless he has the ball

We've got this world champion pg who now hangs in the corner. White isn't that nifty just solid and more of a combo. Buts let's like let holiday set up a play

Yeah Joe must have had a couple shots before the State of Union. The show put on by MAGArie Taylor Greene was an embarrassment to all Americans. She heckled the POTUS like he was a comedian doing stand-up. And the other fat guy, who almost got thrown out was just as bad. Disgraceful performance, and I weep for the future of this country if we keep electing idiots like her. Johnson and Gerrymanderig Gym Jordan are just as bad. What a poor example the SOH sent for all. Go Celtics!!

I'm thrilled (and saddened too) that MTG has become the face of the GOP in Congress.
How fitting......

Tatum is being promoted to be the new Larry Bird the face of the league. Trying hard to average 6 assists a game. At least one thing is being overlooked Larry Bird average over 2 offensive boards in his career 2.5 his ist 7 years before his back caused problems Tatum is at .08 you can't get offensive boards standing around the 30 ft line. Brown misses a lot of FTs at times but he's averaging more offensive boards than Tatum and less turnovers. Tatum is supposed to be our PF and he's dead last in offensive boards for any starting PF in the league. Tatum is a SF both on offense and defense he doesn't like to mix it up in the paint when the going gets rough.

Well actually they are faceless. Johnson will be booted out soon. The bionic mouthpiece Gym Jordan is investigating investigations instead of writing or passing any bills. Mitch's last dyeing deed was to support Trump yesterday. Trump hates Mitch and Mitch hates Trump. You want to part with some of your 500 mil for Trump he doesn't seem to have half that?

In this country, aren't we supposed to get evidence THEN prosecute. Gym is doing it in reverse. Let's investigate Biden and MAYBE something will turn up we can get him for. Wrestling's version of Joe Paterno ( the master of the coverup) is really irritating, and doesn't allow anyone to answer questions. I'm done, back to basketball

Denver hit 4 3's last night! Tatum had 8 points with 4:19 left in the 1st quarter. He ended up with only 7 more for the entire game, and 2 of those came on technical foul shots! Brown missed free throws, White had an off night, our bench wasn't great, but all that doesn't even matter if Tatum had, had even just a slightly off night! Instead he completely disappeared! One more thing, Jokic is on the same genius level that Bird and Magic were on! He's not in the play, he's 3 steps ahead of the play!

Got 4 hours sleep last night. I'm like a rat turd.. ''Sharp on both ends''.
Have a question.
There are no rules here and i'm damn sure not complaining and the Mods are not normal Mods which is fine with me.
You all think we run new people off with politics music and comedy? No i don't like changes or the new improved version which usually turns out neither to be new or improved.

I wish I had stayed up to watch the game but that's way too late for me. I was knocked out by 10:30 pm.
When will Tatum play, in big games, like the MVP-caliber player he professes to be? His performance was absolutely terrible, and his attitude was even worse. I've never seen a guy pout and whine so much. I once saw video of a Suns player making a bad pass and Devin Booker running back to play defense yelling at his teammate to "run back on defense". Somebody needs to do that to Tatum. He makes a bad pass and turns around and grabs his head.
And JB! I love his game but how can a player with a $280M contract be so challenged at the free throw line? He was literally trash last night at the line.
I've been saying for a while my concerns of our bench. In big games, these guys are ghosts. These are playoff-type games and we're getting nothing from our bench.
All it takes is for two starters to NOT be on their game and we're done! Last night it was Tatum and White. With our bench, that's a recipe for disaster. Will never understand our hesitation to get someone at the trade deadline.
And lastly, its games like last night that show just how mediocre Mazzulla is. It would be a shame for this team to fail to win a ring, in part, because the coach is mediocre.

But if you are deferring, that means that you are being more selective with your shots. Which means the overall quality should go up, and thus so should the efficiency. If you take 30 shots one game, and 10 games the next - I would assume the average quality of the shot should be better when you only took 10, and thus your fg% should rise.
