Jayson Tatum with another DNP vs Serbia

[FashionedYoung]

The entire bench struggled yesterday. What does a player with Tatum accolades deserve? He cant get a go with multiple players minimized in their role especially when KD started to play with the starters

He deserves to be a DNP seeing as though it's working so far.

I dont think that is a strong argument because is it working if they almost lost. We dont know what would happened but in a game that they were struggling on defense and the glass, it's crazy for Tatum to get some minutes.

Point me to the record logs of 'almost lost' games. I'm sure Serbia is basking in their ambiance of 'almost winning' yesterday.

Not sure how you watched yesterday and think it’s working

They won the game.

They literally almost lost to a team that has only 2 NBA players Just say you hate Tatum so we can move on.

They literally won the game. I don't hate any player in the league, past or present, I can just be objective. They won the game with him benched, so it worked out just fine. Now you move on.

You're being subjective, not objective. You seem to be in the super small minority being happy with Kerr's awful rotations and yesterday's performance. But yeah, carry on.

Do you even know the meaning of subjective and objective? I said they won with Tatum benched which is objective.

And you're doing tricks on it right now for a player who's been stinking it up, keep going crazy though.

You crashing out for Kerr in 2024 is wild lmao

[thebigbird]

I believe kerr could have found tatum at least 5 mins or something last game. Some 1st half minutes for sure. If i'm Tatum, and i'm looking at jrue and d.white getting minutes over me, I'd be furious.

This is the Olympics, not Make a Wish. We’re trying to win, not “find players minutes.”

I don't give two **** about Kerr, all I care about is that they won the game.

You seemingly only care about Tatum not getting minutes hence you doing acrobatics on it.

Lebron and AD couldve beeen benched for all i care as long as they won the game.

[dockingsched]

It seems like his only real opportunity to replace someone in the lineup is Ant, who has been struggling, but seems like Kerr has decided that Tatum’s skill set isn’t compatible with Ant’s spot in the rotation.

Your logic is absurd. I don't even think they should play Tatum. But the idea that they won so everything worked is dumb. They were down 15 but still won... so they should go down 15 next game because it worked? Curry shot terribly for the first few games and they won... so he should throw shots over the backboard because him missing shots worked?

The idea that they shouldn't be evaluating their rotations/plays/scheme/etc. and trying to improve is preposterous.

[SFour]

Tatum will have his time to shine in 2028 when Lebron, Curry, KD are done.....until then he's warming the bench.

He won't address none of that because he's being "objective" lmao

Simple answer - Kerr is not just a self-proclaimed idiot, but an absolute moron who is so blinded by his Western conference bias that he almost cost the US the game. Of the 12 players on this team, there are 6 from each conference. The 5 players with the lowest amount of play time are all Eastern conference players. A good coach would have seen team USA winning by double digits all the way, using players not just for the conference they are in.
Hopefully we'll never have to see such a pathetic, baised head coach for team USA again.
I'm also looking forward to the regular season when Tatum goes full earth-scorching mode all over this idiot's butt.

Because benching Tatum next game is the same as being down 15 next game.. logic can apply to one thing and not the other.

Must've struck a nerve.

Funny how you ignored that they also agree they shouldn't play Tatum.

We're about to win a gold medal and people still can't let this go?

You're just being obtuse about it. Imagine a playoff series and a team wins game 1. Coach says he isn't going to watch the file to make adjustments. He isn't going to look at lineup data to see if any combos had bad results. They won so everything was perfect and he's going to do exactly the same. That's idiotic.
