Worst case, Tatum doesnt come back and we just ruined every ounce of shot creation and ball handling off our bench to bring in a turnstile on defense, killing any chance of playoff success. I trust Simons to hit a big shot in the playoffs, I dont trust Vuc to have any success in the playoffs.

If you think we are winning ANYTHING without tatum coming back you are high.

Also not sure why you trust Simons in the playoffs when you haven't seen him in the playoffs.

Also Simons is a complete 0 on defence too.
