Looking nervous missing 3 layups already.

Okay JB, you got fouled. Nothing you can do about it. Tatum to the rim and his shot is blocked followed by open arms begging for a foul.
Hey, play basketball and quit the whining (you too Nurkic).
Horford is useless! We don't seem to have anyone who can check Nurkic.

Tatum just doesn't like to force things on final possessions of the quarter.
Had two great shots and then ends the 1st with a tough, contested shot.
Why can't he make a basket at the buzzer, any buzzer?

We're gonna have to get some offense from Jrue and Horford.
Seems Jrue really takes his time getting involved although he had a great block.

Tatum passes on a totally wide open corner 3 only to take a difficult, contested shot....and misses!
If you're open, take the shot.
Why won't he pull the trigger?

Luke Kornet is playing a great game so far. He's doing what we'd expect from Horford in a starting role.

I miss Smart but we are so fortunate to have Holiday and White as our backcourt.
I really think we should get both involved more on offense.

Our end of quarter execution leaves a lot to be desired.
We leave so many points on the court by converting so few of those possessions.

Is Tatum hurt or something? He looks totally out of sorts (just hit a 3-pointer for 16 points).
But he just doesn't look right.

End of quarter possession failure.
We've had the final possession in every quarter so far and have yet to convert.
It's so obvious we have challenges - this time Tatum gets the defensive rebound, dribbles up court, does his ISO and throws up a tough shot that misses.
This CANNOT be out best end of quarter option.

The Suns have YET to successfully defend our pick and roll.
We need more of that AND it will eventually open up our perimeter shooters.

Any team that lets Kornet dunk all over them are not going anywhere..
