3/9 - It was fun while it lasted - Cs @ Suns

[JCizzle]

TATUMMMMMMMM

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Durant seems good.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Refs pulling out the bullshit now. We just ignoring contact again.

 

[OnTheBlack]

I doubt it.

You are likely right, but he should be. I’m not mad at the missed shots or even the turnovers, but he has played at 3/4 speed like he doesn’t need to try. It’s the NBA. No one is good enough to coast in this league. And he doesn’t even need to carry the load on O. Just play hard. He’s a beast when he does.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

That’s a foul?

 

[jablo1312]

the 2nd and 3rd longest tenured nba players yea?

 

[The Mort Report]

It would be nice if JB and JT got that whistle

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Coach? Hello?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Can we get back to an offense with movement?

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

D White just getting raked by hands by his defender with no call. Miami Heat defensive strategy there.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

God I hate Durant

 

[chilidawg]

Damn Durant is good.

 

[jablo1312]

tatum playing the entire 2nd half seems unnecessary

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

That’s fair but I have noticed he’s gotten more comfortable backing his defender down into the paint. Plus he’s got that killer fadeaway now.
I dunno, overall he is just exuding greater confidence and greater skill

For sure, much much better at having and executing a plan and dominating a mismatch (and the team is more willing to keep feeding than they have been in the past).

To be fair, he's at 38 minutes right now. Some of it is probably fatigue, he's been an engaged defender most of the season and has even cut down on the ref bitching.

 

[stp130]

Quit with the penile fromage.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Going to be a long three minutes.

 

[patinorange]

KD is filthy

I think he has decided he wants to win the game by himself. And he just might do it.

 

[TrapperAB]

Def think this Durant kid is pretty good.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Back to missing late FTs, dammit

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Freaking takes a bear hug to finally call something.

 

[SteveF]

Oof.

 

[benhogan]

yikes FTs

 

[jablo1312]

jaylen has had like 3 insanely tough shots barely miss, he's real locked in last few games as a shooter (outside the ft line.....)

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

KD misses two shots in a row?

 

[timelysarcasm]

Jaylen, come on.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Hit the free throws for fucks sake

 

[TrapperAB]

Ain’t nothin free with JB

 

[jablo1312]

i know hes not everyones cup of tea but i love watching durant go nuclear

 

[Don Buddin's GS]

And Jaylen misses his first FT again...and the second.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Jaylen at the line in a tight game in the 4th is always fun

 

[The Mort Report]

the 2nd and 3rd longest tenured nba players yea?

Udonis Haslem still technically playing off the top of my head is older

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Clayngin' Brown

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Finally Al!

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Huge shot

 

[benhogan]

AL!!!

 

[jablo1312]

tatum looks absolutely exhausted

 

[JCizzle]

JB....dude.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Big shot, Al.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Never seen an ostensibly decent ft shooter miss 100% of his misses in the exact same way. It’s crazy. He needs to try shooting jumpers.

I love Al.

 

[bigq]

Al for three!

 

[k-factory]

Can Tatum lease Hanlen to JB to fix his free throw shooting Achilles heel?

 

[SteveF]

Finally made one.

 

[TrapperAB]

Of course Al hits it this time

 

[jablo1312]

nothing like a lil 3 point variance at the biggest time

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

alfred J. horford

 

[timelysarcasm]

One thing about Al, he's going to hit those clutch 3s at the end of the game.

 

[chilidawg]

That was a great set, and nice to see one go down for Al.

 

[teddykgb]

Nice of them to remember that they have teammates for one possession at least

 

[CreedBratton]

AL!

 

[Deathofthebambino]

See, that's great fucking action.
