I don't understand people questioning a player's mental make-up when a bigger issue is much more obvious. In Tatum's case, it's so clear when you watch him play that he simply doesn't possess the requisite athleticism for a perimeter player to consistently create higher % shots. He's neither that quick nor a great leaper. Can't really blow past past guys. No **** he's often "settling" for too many 3's or tough fadeaways. That's the best he can do and he does it mighty well, just not well enough to be the alpha dog on a championship team. He's ideally suited to be a #2.

Playoff Tatum 23.7 ppg 7.8 rebound 4.6 assists
Playoff Paul 21.2 ppg 7.5 rebound 4.1 assists

Pretty similar numbers. Both numbers are down from regular season if you remove George's regular season where he only played 6 games and averaged 8.8 ppg.

Ton of bad takes in this thread.

What a weak, petty argument. You are so insanely jealous of the Celtics you have to resort to comments like Tatum being closer to Harris than a top 10 player. No one takes you seriously dude. You get really upset and emotional about so much in any thread that involves your team's rivals. I get that it's tough that the 76ers have injury issues and your best player was disappointing vs the Knicks with his antics, but this ain't life or death bro. Go enjoy the offseason.

This entire board is like that lol. Everyone revels in the other teams issues, and inability to win. Stop acting like everyone doesn't love it when the Sixers lose. So the rest of the board is allowed to do that, but others aren't when other teams have issues? LOL.

It’s a combination of you, Hussein Fatal, Chokic & Embiid himself being the reason we enjoy when the Sixers lose.
Now compare that to how impartial non-fans of Mitchell’s Jazz & Lillard’s Blazers felt when they got bounced early in the playoffs …

The entire internet (social media/reddit/Twitter, get's a hard on when Embiid fails), but yeah I'm the cause for that lol.

It shouldn’t be that hard to figure out I’m talking about the General Board when I bring up 3 specific board members ..

Embiid only has himself to blame as to why the entire Internet enjoys seeing him fail. He’s a primadonna & a dirty player who constantly flops.

Yes but I’m pointing out to you that I’m talking about the General Board specifically in this conversation.

Never fails to amaze me when people think they can make these kinds of demands around here.

At any rate read the thread before you do they are there.

Well add some opinions to the thread then, don't just complain about other people's takes. You've added zero. How is that better?

The thing with Tatum is that good things happen when he posts up. He's also a dangerous scorer when attacking the hoop.

Tatum is a #1 if 15 of his 20 shots are at the rim.

He should've taking 4-5 threes per game. 1-2 mid range shots per game
