Should Jaylen Brown have done things to make it harder for RJ Barrett to score?

People use that phrase too much. Tatum absolutely made that play last year.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

This is why I like ball dominant Tatum when he’s aggressive. Puts so much pressure on the defense and when you have a good supporting cast it’s so hard to guard them.

We suck if Tatum holds the ball waste time, then chuck a 3. Move the damn ball JT.

Tatum shot selection has been terrible.

Nice close out to the half.

Do ya think we can come out in Q3 balls out for a change?

tatum finally plays the right way and we get a 9 point lead. he's gotta stop chucking up bad shots for no reason bc that last shot was basically how he played the entire rest of the half

Pull-up threes against a drop is fine by me, there’s been two possessions where Tatum has had Robinson on a switch on the wing and started dancing lol, both times he went to KP in the high post for scores.

Much better. God I love KP.

I know lol. Maybe 3 years ago he didn’t? But since that finals run and on, he’s more than capable of making those type of plays. You wanna see more consistency but JT can absolutely pass and has done so in the playoffs plenty of times.

And on both those plays it involved Tatum being aggressive going to the rim and not settling..

Some analytic coach should tell him if he did that more often he might be the mvp
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Bad shot with no time left for the other team >>> Good shot with a lot of time left for the other team to get a good shot

We better see a high dose of this during the playoffs. It’s a high percentage play when we give the ball to KP in the post. I don’t mind easing Porzingis in right now. But it’s gonna be a nightmare for teams to decide what to do when Porzingis is heavily involved offensively.
