They've been doing that all year. They are playing at 70% because they can. Habits are hard to break.

I wouldn't go that far but it's been a joke that people ever mentioned this dude as a top 5 player. Heck, I still hear some people mention that lol

Maybe he's really thinking about Kidd saying JB is the better player.

What exactly is Tatum's game here. Feels like watching a wing from 2002 play.

Part of it is style. They want him to shoots 3s or attack. He doesn’t shoot midrange much, which is his best shot.

Secondly, he is best setting up his teammates. He’ll score second half.

I am seeing a pretty focused defensive effort by Celtics. Every single player who's been on the court. Nobody on Mavs are getting easy shots.

Tatum shooting less than 48% TS in finals games so far (this is his 8th finals game)

Tatum looks to be more worried about recreating the Kobe trophy pic than actually playing. Ben Simmons level shooting
