Sam LaFranceGuestCould have been 4-0 if we didn't drop that 20-point lead to the Detroit Pistons, but Jason Tatum has looked incredible.
I think the advanced stats, we were looking at them earlier today at first of the full HQ, and he is looking incredible.

Yeah, I think that was the thing that we were like, lizard brain, is there anything in the back of your mind that has you freaking out a little bit? Like, nothing else really matters aside from can Tatum return to first-team All-NBA, you know, top four to six MVP candidate.

All these other moves, all these other traits don't really matter if we're trying to win another title if he can't get back there.

And, I mean, aside from the first game, which he, by the way, still had 11 assists, still helped the team get a 22-point lead.

And then since then he's had two MVP caliber performances, one against the Knicks.

Not that I know what happened in that game because I got stuck on the train for like six hours.

big Mike Conley threes with awesome tickets that we paid for that I didn't get to sit in at

But, yeah, I mean, he's second in the entire league right now in points created, which is, like, points and assists.

But the on-ball percentage is, like, so much lower than everybody else out there.
