Now, they've been playing pretty well and winning the games that they were supposed to.

Last night was a change in that.

Yeah, last night was a change in that, no doubt.

But the way that Jason Tatum plays would naturally suggest that he would demand that you re-acclimate a little bit.

I'm sure they can figure it out in the postseason.

We'll see if they end up running through the East.

I remain skeptical of that because I just think the East is better and it's not the foregone conclusion.

But this is what is the most obvious thing in the world to me.

He's been shooting like we have eight games now.

OK, which still it's not a lot of games, but he's been shooting very poor since he returned.

Very poor.

And as a result, if you have a player who now you are including in the lineup who is taking 17 and a half shots a game and shooting poor.

Yeah.

Like those are 17 half shots that weren't being shot.

Thirty nine percent.

Oh, you think they could drop to three?

What we were saying, and primarily Mike, definitely not me unless it ends up being right, was that Jalen Brown is having an MVP-level season.

And the concern was that if you have Jason Tatum come back, play poorly, change the way that the ball was moving around, a team that was shooting just about as well as anybody in basketball, moving the ball, having body movement, putting up a ton of shots from three, that if the ball sort of started staying in Tatum's hands...

and he wanted to take shots toward the end of the game, that the personalities could be combustible because you have Jalen Brown who tweets like a wide receiver.

But Brown has embraced the fact that Tatum is coming back.
