I really like Tatum, but he absolutely has to shoot less threes, and has to work on his handle. Way to loose. He also needs to develope a real post game. At his size, he needs it, and it would help his game tremendously.

Needed to use his patented push off to get to the basket and score.

Haven't you seen his amazing defense and passing?? That's what he's paid a big contract for.

embiid's presence protecting the rim is the story of this series - it completely took tatum and to an extent, brown out of their comfort zone on offense.

This might be the worst "superstar" performance I have ever seen in my life.... If you even count Tatum as a superstar that is.

Nobody is saying he is playing well, but Cs fans are justifiably pushing back against insane hot takes based on a couple bad games when he has been a strong playoff performer in his career until now


Tbh he hasn't been that good.

He's shot the 3 well but overall his FG% has hovered around 43% in the playoffs.

He's definitely has had his great showings, but he's inconsistent.

40 threes attempted by half time.

Anyone under 35 years old need to watch some 90s ball and understand how disgraceful the modern game is.

Tatum might not even be top 25 in the 90s. What else does he do?

And Embiid would 100% NOT even be top 5 centres in the 90s.

This league is a disgrace.

This last 15 minutes is really kind of huge for Tatum going forward. This is a historically bad game in a clutch spot. No longer a kid. This is the type of game that gives you a label that’s hard to shake.
