he didn't suck at any point imo, he just wasn't shooting his usual lights out, then he abused them!

To me, settling when it's clear no one can defend him and he can get to the rim at will is sucking. High standards for the MVP/GOAT.

he isn't built to drive all night, he'll be dead by the 4th, settling may be him trying to mix it up. we'll need some shot-making down the stretch.

Hauser a better defender. Getting close to becoming on par as a shooter. Just doesn't move as quickly. Getting paid like 10x less than Hield.

Hauser is going to get PAIDDDDDDDD next summer.

2025? If Brad the God doesn't extend him first. Also, if we win this tournament, Hauser gonna get paid already lol.

This is definitely a Kornet game and not a Queta game. Kornet doesn’t have to worry about Indy being physical with him.

Kornet doing a good job

Well, he's built the wrong way. Get another manufacturer.

Brad definitely going to extend him, Sam legitimately one of the best 3/D players in the league.

I can’t believe it lol. But ya know, the Celtics don’t develop anybody.

he had been cashing them, but now it's a problem when he misses? he'll start hitting again, dont worry about tat!

He clanked a couple bad and they got out in transition. Felt like he was settling when he gets anything he wants going to the basket.

Celtics dominating the glass 33-19 with 6 offensive rebounds

So one thing that’s definitely true about Tatum is that he doesn’t have that crazy explosive first step. It’s mostly hand fighting and leveraging with his body. If him driving a few times less a game helps him hold up? Cool. Just replace it with post ups lol, like tonight. He’s missed two absolute bunnies off of posts, and he got one of those “tip shot” misses on an offensive board.

I mean, LBJ and Shaq took too much of the pie, tat is doing what he can. :lol:
