I mean, JT has to notice the difference between C+S and firing it up with a guy in his face off the dribble, right?
Game thread take on the game so far: Seems like a lot of mental mistakes from Tatum tonight. He's making some shots, sometimes flaring on defense, but he seems out of synch with the rest of the team.
