It's not about what we want, it's about what Tatum wants.

No matter what we say here, JT will do what JT does.

It's either we support it or just not watch the Celtic games of the JT era.

Zinger became one of my favorites real quick. Jrue idk if he was worth 2 firsts in truth but I've got no complaints

Fun fact, after that half, Tatum on pull-ups is shooting within 1% of what Jaylen shoots on catch and shoot threes. And guess what? I want Jaylen to take even more of them, because if he starts hitting them again, this team becomes that much harder to defend come playoff time. Just like if Tatum is hitting his pull-ups in the playoffs.

The regular season is for working on things. Tatum drives way more in the playoffs, a statistical fact.

On last possessions of the game this year? To win or tie the game? He has not taken a step back three. I’ll double check to make sure, but I’m fairly certain.

I mean unless they’re down 3 lol, which is different.

Have to agree with that statement.

The regular season is where you experiment.

And JT getting beat up from always driving to the basket in the regular season is just not worth it.

My GF is considering it

TELL HER TO DO IT!!! Best decision ever, even with the dry eyes! Tell her it took less than 15m for both eyes to be done. when i was off the table i could already see even with the initial fogginess. today, I can see clearly now the rain is gone! this isn't the best i'll see so they say and it's already great! no pain, just discomfort, dry eye feels very itchy. you cant get water in your eyes for 3 days and I'm talking rain/showers/any kind. pills and drops for a few months but it's WORTH IT ALREADY!!

Well you said early adopters. I wonder if it's a whole lot safer years in.

An alternative view about Tatum's penchant for pull ups, despite the fact that he's on fire tonight. I generally think Jason Timpf has excellent analysis, and this about Tatum's pull ups is spot on. Just go straight to about 6:15 so you can skip the two kids he has on his show.

I was right, he hasn’t taken one three all year in those scenarios.

Does it hurt?

i have a high pain tolerance so it's a no for me. other people i know said it didn't hurt them either. the dry eye is uncomfortable tho. going to be months of that until my body starts producing tears normally again is what i was told.

He’s working on the assumption that Tatum’s step back hasn’t bounced back, and it has. We will see where he ends the season, but there’s plenty of reason to be optimistic.

I also don’t want a guy whose had hand/wrist issues for years to be driving more in the meaningless regular season, and as I’ve pointed out, he always drives more in the playoffs anyways.

Tatum with a brilliant fake flop to make everyone think there's a stoppage.
