Good half, but I hope Tatum’s performance improves. They should be up by more than 12.

Really good half.

Maybe he’ll be marginalized in the playoffs but damn I really love watching PP play. He’s so confident this year and has gotten visibly stronger over the years to the point of driving on much bigger defenders and using those subtle shoulder and hip bumps to create space for a layup.

Seven points in seven minutes, and hits 30% of his threes this year. Not the skills you expect from a 7’3” guy
When you watch him on offense, you can squint and see the guy that Shaq says is like Wemby, only really lazy. But defense...good lord, it will keep Bol from ever being a playoff rotation player, and the only reason Wemby isn't a legit DPOY candidate right now is because his teammates are just too awful (you can't win DPOY when your team is 24th in defensive rating).

It’s amazing the refs saw that minimal contact when KD was still able to shoot a perfect form jumper after missing Jaylen getting hit on the elbow in Q1.

I can only nod in agreement. I’m just surprised he has any offense after seeing him (checks notes) play one game in college

If that's not a foul, there are rules I don't know (relevant to the circumstance. There's plenty of rules I don't know!)

He hit Jaylen’s arm, which is clearly enough to uphold it, whether or not it should have been called.

Of course, that’s by the rule book—-in the actual NBA ‘look at me‘ refereeing they just decide what they want to say, not what the review standard is, so,

To be fair, the Cs are starting to put it on the Suns. Vogel is doing this for the option as well as to stem momentum
