He shot poorly last game, and he’s even worse this game.

Terrible. Spacing bad. Seattle’s way too much. He can make it. But it isn’t in rhythm. They gotta stop with the 5 out offense. It’s awful.

I have criticized Tatum a fair bit in past.

He’s playing the right way right now - his passing has been very impressive through two games imo. Opening up stuff for other people.

don’t understand the hate right now - though his shot is off
Damn

This looking similar for Tatum to that game 6 against the sixers last year.

He’s makin GB some nice passes but he looks lost out there otherwise offensively.

Paul Pierce needs to grab his face and shake it wake his ass up.

I have no idea why, he has been excellent for years now.

The only bright side so far is we have played like garbage and the game is still very close. There is no way we play this badly in the second half right?

He's a scorer, he's just not a good jump shooter.

Tatum needs to re-work his shooting form this summer. It is terrible. He changed at once earlier in the season and he was shooting really well but then went back to his old form.

Tatum just not getting to his spots. They need to get him on the wing. Secondly, no more 5 - out.

Tatum thinks the way to get out of a slump is to jack step back 3s.

Tatum needs Renee Russo from Tin Cup.
