did they learn nothing from the 22 finals?


They just don't do that. But you're right.


If you're not gonna run plays for Tatum to get him going and you're expecting for him to iso and pop a 30 foot dud then this is what you're gonna get.

He hasn't been him in the finals. That's just a fact.

I’ve said this before, sometimes Tatum needs adversity to play well. In the 4th he may go off if it’s a close & we are behind.

Law of averages, Luka hitting everything, JT missing everything. Gotta balance out sooner or later, right?

Why is Porzingis playing drop coverage against Luka?

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

because luka is hitting shots. people love scoring above all else. :nonono:


Thank god Tatum isn’t trying to win a 1-1 game with Luka

Though nice cross over on him just there and finish….
Damn
