12/15 Maim the “Magic” Mice

[OnWisc]

Holy shit.

 

[128]

Tatum's drives are fantastic.

 

[SteveF]

Felt like a moving screen to me.

 

[OnWisc]

Wagner thinks it’s a game of HORSE.

 

[mikeford]

Tatum layup was absurd

 

[128]

Oshae can you see!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Wagner thinks it’s a game of HORSE.

That explains the long face.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Tatum at 5!

 

[benhogan]

Isaac is a nuisance

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Jrue really doesn't have much of a mid-range game does he?

 

[Imbricus]

Man, Hauser was all over Anthony on that shot. I sure hope as hell Brad can afford to lock him up after this season, fingers crossed.

 

[SteveF]

Spurs outscored the Lakers 42-22 in the first quarter.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Shades of the great Kevin McHale on that pretty Tatum fallaway.

 

[The Mort Report]

HOLY FUCK JB

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Did Jaylen just dunk that from the foul line? My goodness.

 

[benhogan]

these refs are my azz

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Why is suggs on the floor? He's clearly in pain.

 

[The Mort Report]

X2 for JB

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

Holy Christ

 

[mikeford]

Jrue really doesn't have much of a mid-range game does he?

Does anyone in the league at this point?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Angry Jaylen is a problem. Wish we got that guy regularly

 

[benhogan]

come on JT...feed Brown and Jrue

 

[OnWisc]

Jaylen seems to have unlocked something.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

So this team is pretty good and maybe deeper than we think.

 

[OnWisc]

Push it to 20, get into the 4th up 10+.

 

[128]

Angry Jaylen is a problem. Wish we got that guy regularly

You might not know it from our game threads, but he's having a strong season.

 

[slamminsammya]

they are all on the suns

 

[benhogan]

I like when this team finds the weakest defender (ANTHONY) and relentlessly attacks him

 

[The Mort Report]

Jaylen seems to have unlocked something.

Agreed. He's becoming way more aggressive off ball and taking fewer dribble drives into the teeth of the D.

 

[Imbricus]

Man, I love the energy. They really, really want this game and it shows.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

I like when this team finds the weakest defender (ANTHONY) and relentlessly attacks him

agreed.

 

[SteveF]

On some of these dunks he's jumping straight up outside the restricted area. It's nuts how high he has to get to dunk it from there.

 

[oumbi]

So, is it too soon to start the "Hauser for HOF" thread?

 

[The Mort Report]

Honestly surprised Tatum didn't get a T there with how they seem to call them on the team

 

[Bunt Single]

Celtics just slicing through these guys! Alert, quick, opportunistic basketball.

 

[SteveF]

Not great shot selection the last few minutes there given how many dunks they got that half.

+6 true shot attempts (+11 FGA, -7 FTA) is very good though. Orlando wins by getting more FGAs than their opponents.

Orlando on the season +2.36 FGA/100, +2.57 FTA/100

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

2 turnovers, 7 steals, 18 assists - that's how you build a lead even when you're 7-22 from three.

 

[mikeford]

I'd have preferred literally any other play to a Jrue ISO to end the half but anyway

 

[Buster Olney the Lonely]

The ball movement is excellent tonight. Esthetically pleasing.

 

[jmcc5400]

What a great first half from Jaylen.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Here in Maine, JD the Lion is 4-4 from 3 in the 4th to help pull away for the win.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Won the first by six. The second by seven. What will the third quarter bring?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Won the first by six. The second by seven. What will the third quarter bring?

winning by eight? #fingerscrossed

 

[OnWisc]

winning by eight? #fingerscrossed

I’ll settle for coming out of it up by eight.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I’ll settle for coming out of it up by eight.

Its true that the third quarter gives them the most trouble - they have a net of minus 0.6 if what I am seeing is correct. I prefer @PedroKsBambino 's scenario to be clear.

My impressions are almost always contradicted by statistics.

 

[OnWisc]

Pretty soon Jaylen is going to stop putting up threes and instead just dunking from behind the arc. He’s like Neo figuring out the matrix. It’s coming.

 

[HomeRunBaker]

Officials compromise on the Derrick White side out. Didn't want to call the foul on Orlando but had to....so call it on the floor.

 

[SteveF]

In the bonus!

 

[OnWisc]

Tatum should take a lesson from Wagner on how to gesticulate excessively at the refs while also getting back on D.
