This team can be awesome -- but only when they want to be. Tatum is definitely a top 4 player -- sometimes.

Down 15 with the final frame left.
Tatum, now's the time to show us what you got.
With no Butler, we have no excuse.

Let's start attacking the paint. The 3 ball isn't falling tonight (but maybe they'll fall this quarter).

With as many FT's they've given us, this game should be much closer. But those darn bone headed turnovers. Between Tatum, Jaylen and Smart , that's 15 TO's!!

Ok, brought it down to 9 with a little under 9 min left.
Play smart, pass the ball, hit shots and play defense -- we can do this.

With Grant picking up his 5th foul, bring in Luke. I bet the Heat won't know how to play him.

I actually don't really feel like this series is about the stars. I think it's about individual guys. It's like Grant Williams vs Strus. It's Oladipo outplaying Derrick White. It's Pj Tucker outplaying Theis by a lot. This has to be all hands on deck

Oladipo owns Jaylen.

I agree. JT is almost there, but not the superstar we need him to be. He can't will his team to victory like Giannis.
We do much better when the role players are producing, and they're not in this game.

Running out of time here. Need to go on our patented run where we clamp down on defense and hit 3 consecutive threes on the other end.

If they're going to keep playing physical like this then guys like Tatum and Jaylen and D White have to bulk up a lot more like Giannis. They play so out of control and then get hurt and now here we are.

Back to 9, after it inflated to 14. Jaylen at the line to capitalize on his and-1.
I sense a run coming. And hopefully Tatum can be the hero, finally.

Jaylen told Jt, Hey, if you ain't doin it, then hold my beer.
JB with 32 now, and he's catching fire. Down by 6 and MIA calls a timeout.

I just just just want the ball out of Jaylen's hands as much as possible here.
