You could say that at the moment, they’re taking care of their business.
In fact, the difference between them and BKN is larger than BKN and the 6th seed.
That’s why these games matter.
Thankfully, Jayson Tatum & Co did not allow that to happen.
We were blessed with some history yesterday, so as we always do let’s dive right in.
How many times have you seen/heard
“Who cares about Tatum’s 50?
Everyone is dropping 50 now, it means nothing.”
Grow the fuck up if that’s your stance.
A player getting 50 will always be a big deal, no matter what team they play for.
I’m not sure why this upsets or triggers people.
Whatever, you do you.
It wasn’t just the 51 point total, he also finished with 9 rebounds and 5 assists.
He shot 15-23 from the floor, 7-12 from deep, and 14-14 from the FT line.
I think that’s part of why I love Tatum’s 51.
It didn’t come in a blowout.
The score looks like a blowout, but this was a one possession game in the fourth quarter.
During this whole streak he only has 1 game over 30 minutes played.
That’s exactly how you get the most out of Brogdon without burning him out.
- The sooner you accept Mazzulla Ball as your guiding light in life, the easier things will be.
Do people see why you don’t overreact to a couple off nights over the course of the season?
Yes, the Hornets defense is atrocious, but I’m not sure how that’s my problem.
They are 17-5 at home and 16-7 on the road.
An NBA best 16-7 against good teams.
Early in the year we heard that it was a small sample and unsustainable.
Rob is going all out on every play like nothing happened.
He’s jumping like crazy, his 2nd and 3rd jumps are quick, his OREB remains elite.
We all know what a healthy Rob does for this team, and so far so good.
They didn’t walk into the arena and just assume they were going to win.
- 24 of 25 from the FT line as a team is my version of dirty talk.
Nothing gets the blood pumping like 96% as a team from the line.
That’s the good shit.
Why does it feel like Plumlee always kills this team on the offensive glass?
On one hand I respect his energy, but on the other hand…ya know…box out.
He had 6 OREB by himself and I can’t say I love giving teams multiple chances.
In my opinion, it should be one of the two.
Either take the three, or go all the way to the rim.
Floaters are really hard, especially off the dribble for a PF.
Having 3 minute mental lapses to end quarters isn’t exactly what I had in mind.
- If Jalen McDaniels was auditioning for Brad in this game, I’d say he nailed it.
The Hornets are about to be sellers, and he should be on Brad’s list.
The Ugly
- Nope, no after 7 in a row.
We’ll continue to skip as long as the Celts continue to win.
So here we go again.
Another streak with another 2 day break before a showdown with the Warriors.
We were in this exact same spot in December, and things didn’t work out too hot.
