Tatum with 18/7/3 at halftime but realGM has taught me he’s Tobias Harris

Good half. Someone needs to wake Derrick White up on the offensive end. His defense is there, but he's been out of sorts when the C's have the ball.

Replay was watched. RJ even said it was clean. Someone definitely needs their eyes checked.


Hooked his arm the entire play. RJ? You mean the ex Cavs player?


There was no arm hooking on that particular play where no foul was called. Come on bro.

The other plays where a foul were called when Tatum was driving and shooting were correct though.

Someone has to attempt to actually run an offense.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

Someone needs to step up on the Cavs. Caris went from playing like Kobe to Anthony Bennett. Mobley needs to be more aggressive force them to foul. Down 9, not the worst for them. Celtics defense still pretty solid.

Momentum is on Celtics side. I’d expect them to win this game.

Mitchell needs some help from his team. Mobley has been good, but the rest of the cast has been cheeks.

Autocorrect knows he’s been stinking up the joint. lol
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Not really doing a great job there either today. Okoro almost has the same amount of shot attempts as him...

The Magic had a 10 pt lead at half-time in game 7.

Well you're incorrect about the hate. Just need to see the frequent comments about Tatum on this board and elsewhere on social media to know that a lot of people hate him.

Tatum has had multiple excellent performances in the playoffs as the #1 option leading a team to multiple conference championships and the Finals. He has done more at his age than the vast majority of players in the league.

He's not having a good playoffs this season, though. That's for sure.


Tatum the Martyr.

Tatum against the world!

:roll:

:shrug: I don't really care. This all started when I said it's hilarious to see how many people are obsessed with Tatum on this board, and that people here hate Tatum much more than Celtics fans love him. That much is clear to anyone paying attention on this board. Then you started with the strawman arguments and I just called those out for what they were.

As I've said numerous times before, I couldn't care less how well Tatum does these playoffs if the end result is a Celtics championship.
