It's like get in the post. Dude gained weight to be a finesse player. First month of the year he was driving and posting more. Joe probably showed him math's...and deaded it.

The amount of threes we are chucking is just awful basketball. Hard to watch this garbage

Tatum posts up more than pretty much any wing in the league.

Why make things up?

Is Pritchard trying to get traded?

How are we letting this Grizzlies team hang around? Something is off with this team lately!

Cut it out with those numbers. We talk hoops here, not nerdy facts.

What the hell are you talking about? Literally the most pointless post tonight.

I posted the literal percentage on his two back over the last two months.


Lol. Exactly, a useless stat to make your binkie look good. Nerds are full of em because they can't handle criticism

Tatum scores the 20th most transition points per game in the league, while being our leading rebounder.

“Plods up and down the court”

Ignorance.

I just can't believe no one on this lineup can drive to the basket or post up any of these Memphis Hustle players. On pace for 60 threes.

He's out tonight with an injury.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Kyrie won a Game 7 in the finals with a shot like that.

Cool so Tatum should start taking running sky hooks like Magic.

Sky hook, no.

But step backs, yes.

JT wants it.

What JT wants JT gets.

Or you would rather JT move to the Lakers?

It's a case of take the good with the bad.

You’re an embarrassing poster, I feel for you.

Just make things up and ignore when people prove you wrong.

Outside of 50 year old Jrue, we have three undrafted players and Payton Pritchard.

I watch the game. I know what i see and so does everyone else who agrees with me. To completely dismiss it just shows me you don't want to hear ant criticism and keep your head in the sand

Clearly you don’t. I mean it’s VERY clear you don’t know what you see.

He posts up a ton for a wing, he gets to the line a ton, and he’s shooting 37% from three.

I’d say you’re capable of more, but I think that’s a lost cause.
