Saric still doesn't understand over the back.

Unfortunately, neither do the officials :-\.

I am ok with this start so far.  We settled down on off and playing decent on D.
Tatum picking up where he left off in game 2.

Tatum looking strong and collected.  This kid is a budding superstar.  The pressure of the playoffs doesn't affect him at all.  Step back 3, no problem.  Step back 2 after creating space again no problem.  Love what I'm seeing from JT!!

I love Tatum playing well while Fultz sits on the bench.  Philly fans wishing they didn't make that trade right now.
I bet they still would not have picked Tatum at 3.  He was not the consensus pick, as Jackson was right there too.

He's already said publicly that Philly told him that they would take him at 3 after his workout there.

Would like to see Rozier get a bucket or two here. Need to have him see the ball go through the hoop given his terrible home/road splits in the playoffs.

Tatum is my favorite rookie ever.  First legit superstar prospect we’ve had since Bird and I wasn’t alive during Larry’s rookie year.

Philly complaining about McHale is pure sour grapes. McHale is a very balanced announcer.

We didn't manage to win a road game against the Bucks. Let's see if this team can finally learn how to win on the road in the playoffs.

They had game 4 in Milwaukee. A couple bad calls went against us late that swung points in their favor.

Had we had Smart in the game, we win it and probably don’t even go back to Milwaukee again in game 6.
Not really true.  We had some bad calls go in our favor too.

Yeah, the NBA 2-minute report disagrees with you. The Bucks legitimately only won that game due to officiating errors down the stretch that they scored on.
The two clear ones were the hold that Tatum committed and the foul on brown.  There was also an offensive foul on Giannis that he missed and let to the breakaway.  So that didn’t really hurt us.

Did I miss anything?

The foul on Brown was a five point swing - two free throws that he didn't get to shoot and the fast break that led to a three on that very play. We were up two at that point, and that five point swing ultimately sealed the game.
Okay, what about the obvious, easy to call hold by Tatum?  We were behind as I recall so that play also swung the game.  So certainly not easy to sa6 we would have won, as you just can’t add up the points.

Tatum gets past Covington very easily. I saw him do it in London and now these 3 playoff games

They think Doris Burke is better than McHale!?
I'm bitter.

rozier is long overdue for a stinker.  Tatum is long overdue for a 30 pount game though

Being from Philly, I'm expecting a come-back game from Morris.
