It's probably time to send Tatum to the bench...

How bad Tatum has been this year? (Serious question, I’m not watching much)

Yeah this is gonna be an L

Seeing Tatum being this **** soft god lord…has he even attempted to drive today besides in transition against smaller players? It actually surprised me he’s averaging over 27 ppg when he hardly has a bag these days

The fact he doesn’t even try to drive in just pisses me off. Do something. Drive in, draw fouls, get blocked, get an offensive foul. Show anything that you’re aggressive. At least JB does to mixed results so far today why can’t you instead of badly bricking threes.

Atrocious shot selection

Just hard to win with Tatum on a stinker and rest of starters having their own issues -- KP/White/Jrue poor shooting and JB w/ these turnovers.

Love when Tatum has zero desire to try to get to the rim. Dude is Charmin soft on offense waaay too often.

I think maybe, just maybe, we may think about trading Tatum before thinking about trading Brown… I’m not say it will happen, just a feeling I have.

JT is a no-show when it matters, as usual.

True.

Guess Tatum and the Cs will just have to adapt.

But that was clearly a foul on Garland.

Tatum ain't leavin the court until this next 3 go down and he'll be damned if he does.

Marcus Smart would be aghast at some of these pullups
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Acquiring Yabs and a sneaky Holiday deal, that would be a great Trade Deadline haul...

KP doesn't have it tonight. Give Kornet more minutes. He has been great.

And I clearly remember one poster claiming Tatum is on Larry birds level.. Career stats blah blah blah..

Tatum has some really good skill but it's not the skill of a man but the will of a man.
