Rebounds, defense, being very vocal on both ends. He's being a hell of a player regardless of points or shots. I maintain my opinion that he's playing a different role this Finals. He's being much more of a distributor and facilitator for his teammates. He's pushing attention, he's giving the extra pass, he's going for the rebounds, he's much more than mere stats can show.
I agree with this but knowing he's shooting like ass, why not abandon the contested jump shot and attack every time. That would be extremely impressive and put Dallas' defense under even more duress.
He has to shoot sometimes to keep the d honest. They need to always be afraid that he could get hot. he's missing shots he makes.

Shooting is fine if it's off a catch or open but I'm taking about the contested ones or ISOs. All that does is bail out of the defense. If they back off because he is killing it on the drive, then shoot open ones. It's about getting quality shots and valuing possessions, and that's something he still struggles with.

Were the 7 misses all by Tatum?
Anyway, spacing spacing spacing. And ball movement. That's what creates those driving lanes.

There is something wrong with it. If you refresh the page it should work. I’ve had to do that several times.

Happened to me too.
I honestly don't believe it's any spiteful act from any forum mod/admin though, this entire forum has had many teething and server problems in the past few weeks.
Thinking the site's owner should consider upgrading the forum software/interface after the NBA Finals, even if it means being off-line for a day or two..
This is a fantastic/best Hoops board in the world imo and maybe the software and server is struggling with the amount of activity currently?
