Tatum has been largely pathetic since the all star break.

John Collins once at the top of the circle is somewhat easier to understand ...

Pretty consist drop coverage on Murray/Trae and their screeners. Their two guards did a good job abusing it and they found Hunter over and over. Good reads on their part but man that D got picked a part at times

Kenny Smith thinks we've been resting the Jays on the corners while other guys made plays. Nice way to put it. It was either that, or those two guys need to show up.

7-20 for Murray/Young in the 1st half. Someone's gonna be the recipient of that. But Hunter's scoring isn't as impactful so I'll take that.

lol at the three refs looking all distressed and then making the wrong call. Marcus came straight down and had a foot under his. Luck he didn't turn his ankle. I think the officiating crew is in over their head, game is moving to fast for them

His scoring went down by about 3 ppg and his minutes went down by 1.5 but other than that Tatum's been largely the same player post-AS break as pre-.
Through the first 3 games in the playoffs he's been just ok for an MVP candidate. 44% from the three but only 27.7 ppg. Better than Embiid though.

so, tat has to score 20 a half for yall to stop going in? man had 13/5/3, sounds solid to me, given the attention he receives. if we were getting our butts kicked you may say be a lil more aggressive but, let's not act like he was out there doing nothing!

White is on the Kyle Lowry trajectory

He hasn't been the same. Its apparent to see. Stats can mislead.

It's really easy to say something without any proof and feel like you're right deep inside your heart but what is the point?

*To get more granular, there's also his FTA dropping and his 3 pt % dropping below Smart/Jaylen-level so you have a point but not really since you didn't know any of that.

**** hell Smart

Despite the bull he did in the paint White's gotten better.More assertive. Which is what I had been saying about his game. Too tentatibve.

It's getting to the point where I just expect every Brown shot to miss.

Seems like the only boards we get are with Timelord! Box out boys

Larry_Russell · Post #376 » by **Larry_Russell** » Mon Apr 24, 2023 12:25 am

oh, are we turning on Tatum now?
Is that where we are?

So Smart sucks
Brown sucks
Tatum regressing

Who am I missing

Grant and Joe forgot those 2.

Bostondave · Post #377 » by **Bostondave** » Mon Apr 24, 2023 12:26 am

Best team includes Timelord on the court.
