Depends on the night, but this is the second time in five games that he’s played 41 straight game minutes lol.

He was having a bad game in the first half, but I’m not expecting anyone to play well when playing ridiculous minutes like that.

So we at least admit he was bad in the 1st half and not just because of fatigue?

Tatum sucked. Not just fatigue he was bad before. But even if he had 50 tonight he played the entire 2nd half or close to it and 47 mins in all.

It’s not about the performance to me it’s about the minutes…that’s just not sustainable whether he sucked tonight or not and tonight he didn’t have it when he was fresh

Of course. But what Joe is doing with him is not something we can continue with. Over his last 6 games he’s playing 43 mpg, that would make Nick Nurse or Thibs uncomfortable lol.

Meh. As long as Rob can stay healthy not too concerned about the Sixers.

Nets have two guys who are completely unplayable offensively in the playoffs pretty much.

no doubt lbj was fouled but it only matters b/c it was the last play, they missed plenty of calls during the entire game. it's okay, we as fans will always blame the refs, i will be next game for something I'm sure.

Joe and him have an understanding. I think it was a few games ago when Joe asked him if he wanted a breather and he said no. I'm just assuming Joe checks on him every now and again.

Yeah they can kiss our asses.

Don’t forget about the Gasol and one where he landed on the ground.
