You mean carry the the ball for 20 seconds?

lol I've given up because everyone else seems OK with it, but its hilarious when they do the sideline camera view and you watch guys (not just Tatum) and they all literally just slide the whole ball under their palm on every possession. This is why every one is a dribble drive threat in this league now, not because they're so much more skilled, but because you don't even have to properly dribble the ball anyone.

Sorry, rant over.

Come on Knicks, one more quarter and you've pretty much slain the dragon

The best player for the Knicks that quarter wasn’t Brunson

It wasn’t KAT

It was Tatum’s shot selection. wtf is wrong with this guy?

People will call it "settling" but Tatum simply lacks the quickness and the handle to be a slasher out there. He's limited.

Celtics got sloppy at the end of the 3rd quarter. Momentum on Knicks side. Still anybody’s game.

For a supposed superstar, Tatum has a really poor feel for the game

KAT's defense on Tatum ISOs has mostly been okay...Tatum was making some bs 3's in first half but they are not going in now.

Tatum playing some horrible hero ball this quarter. Not sure why you're the only guy who should be touching the ball on every possession. Pass the f'n ball.

This in unreal. Defending champs refusing to learn from their mistakes.

Ive been mostly listening instead of watching. What's going on with Brown? Is Bridges locking him up? Feels like he isn't shooting much.

It really is hilarious and why you can't really compare different generations.

Now we get to see if Boston can win a 4th quarter if this thing is heading back to Boston with Jalen having a chance to end it in front of the opposing fans. They've been playing great, but we can close this out.

A close game in the 4th is exactly what these front runners don’t want

He's channeling his hero - Kobe Bryant.

Who wins Game 4?
