Give Tatum the 3 full time and let Brad choose between Baynes and Morris depending on matchups and I’m legit still optimistic about the season, expectations are down but it’s not a lost season, just got to hope the youngins develop faster than initially planned, and one of these guys Nader or Ojeleye are going to need to step up

 

[BlackAX410]

Smart in the 2nd half, rozier in the 2nd half, Tatum In the 2nd half and jaylen looked impressive. Hope Gordon has a quick recovery but we're still in the mix for top 4 in the east. Horford gotta step up offensively tho

 

[Kairo]

Early MIP candidate on the squad? I'm liking Smarts progress, esp his attitude towards an extension. I'm just worried he plays himself into consideration for the type of contract we can't give him.

I take this back.

Kyrie and Jaylen going to be Rondo and Ray part two, I don’t mean that from a basketball perspective, heard it here first

Is it because of kyrie/Tatum?

Btw I'll give you a jewel

No it’s starts with those comments by Brown and his take on the trade although I didn’t care or think much of it at the time but there was a sequence where Brown turned the ball over when he interfered with a pass that was for Kyrie andbit went out of bounds, Kyrie was chopping at him and Brown wasn’t taking it like a young player taking advice he was talking back and had a look like shut the fuck up, IT might of said one thing if anything at all and got over it, Kyrie reminded me of Bron there jawing at JR or Rio but Kyrie isn’t going to be able to get away with that especially right away

I peeped that, they're both headstrong I think it'll work out over time

 

[Tommy bilfiger]

Brown definitely better than ingram & has more upside, that aint disputable

 

[BlackAX410]

1 thing outside of scoring that impresses me with Tatum is the fact he has 28 rebounds in 3 games. He's not 1 dimensional which shows true to being advanced on the court for his age. Rozier has played well in these games too if smart is out for an extended period I hope rozier makes him expendable. 13 & 7 through the first few games I need his aggression to continue

Statement game on Thursday, losing to the Bucks twice this early would be a bad look, Giannis is a monster he’s going to get his but we can’t allow guys like Brogdon or Monroe to kill us

Ion think Brown believes this is Kyrie's team.. I just dont think he will fall in line with that thinking at all

1 thing I always liked about jaylen outside of work ethic is his aggression with the ball. Quick decisions and better 3 point shooting and finishing around the basket, he wants to be a go to scorer early

We were in the game down by 2 until the last minute, we looked crisp after those days off and practice time so I'm expecting a better performance tomorrow.

The efficiency and versatility impresses me the most, him and jaylen playing this strong early on is why I can't give smart A pass for posting up the same numbers and barely improving in 4 years. If terry can continue this level of play I'm cool with letting smart go if be demands too much

Yea and it was a day removed from the Hayward injury, that injury changed everything a lot of roles changed and we’re already a team that needs to build chemistry, last nights win was a confidence booster but Thursday’s game will be more of a telling tale

For sure I think it'll be a competitive, kyrie won't go 7-25 again. Last game they called ridiculous calls on jaylen guarding the Greek freak but he still had 18 in 27 minutes

Theis makes me feel better about our front court depth and I like the kid Ojeleye, only player I don’t like but fortunately doesn’t get any minutes anyway is Yabusele, Scalabrine on roids is what I took from him during the preseason

Theis is so much better then jerebko dawg, great shot blocking timing and strong on the offensive boards too. The fact he can hit the occasional jumper is a positive too semi is a GREAT defender he put the clamps on giannis a few times

 

[Kairo]

The chemistry in this game is excellent. The defense the 2nd unit has been playing and Brads rotations are really starting to click.
