It hit rock bottom maybe last year or the year before and stayed there.

At this point he'd be a better player if he just stayed away from taking any self created 3s.


Should have changed his form in the off season, especially since he flopped from outside the entire playoffs and olympics. Its still the same shot. Unreliable.

I did not start that streak..

He literally keeps that reputation alive and well

Tatum has one of the deadliest baseline spins on the both sides of the block and he's rarely there. It's annoying. At least he's been to the line. The whole team sucks tonight though..pretty much after halftime not just him.

Yep. We've needed fresh blood, for awhile in this game tonight.

It's not mechanics it's mental as he's taken mentally weak shots


That golden state game will tell me a little as well. He gets punked by that team.


GSW leads the league in net rating. I was pretty surprised to see that. Will be a good test

There aren't any mechanics ever invented that make up for taking horrible off balance ill-advised shots.. willing to bet during Tatum's rookie year he took just straight up three point shots, hence the far better shooting percentage.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

We really need KP for the spacing...

We're seeing pre-2024 Celtics basketball here...

Because he’s lazy at times settling for the 3. The worst can happen if he drives, is to get fouled. Yet, he still wants to chuck 3’s. That’s why he will never win mvp, and get the respect he wants. Unless he change his mind set.

The question on the night will be whether the C's win by more points than Grant gave up with shooting fouls.

Kornet 19 pts with 6 shots is nasty work.

Lamelo outplaying Tatum. Like it or not, JT benefits a lot when JB plays with him. The defense is not focused on him alone if JB plays.

Luke & PP for VC & CP for tonight.

If you disagree with me, I bet you will be wrong.

Yesterday never got to clutch territory. Let’s see if Hornets can get this down to 5.
