Tatum is SO not him. We need a true alpha, not this soft ass bitch

We're seven years, seven deep Playoff runs in and JT is STILL consistently having 1-2 complete dud performances per series. This is **** ridiculous. Does this happen with any other superstar in the league? Especially a seasoned vet like JT?

Terrible end to the quarter

Just no killer instinct with this team.. all damn season they are like this, just no sense of urgency, get a lead start snooting bad shots and playing no defense

Jaylen needs to keep being aggressive with Tatum being passive.

Held them to 0 points for the first 5:30 of the second quarter. Proceeded to give up 24 points in the last 6.5 minutes

Brisette +11 in 3 minutes. We just need him to play the 3rd quarter and we'll extend the lead by another 44.

Is Tatum hurt?

He has all but disappeared.

Tatum's not it.

He'd be a great 2nd or third banana on a Championship team but he's no leader.

Tatum disengaged. Not doing anything on offense AND defense.
