Is this Scott Foster's first playoff game of the season? I haven't seen him in any other game.

And I will win 3K off that because I bet 50 that they'd draft Flagg the day after the Luka trade :lol:

It wasn’t KAT

It was Tatum’s shot selection. wtf is wrong with this guy?


He’s shootings 68% true shooting and you guys still complain about him


I just wish he would mix it up. It annoyed me when Harden couldnt do anything else but step back threes and layups or when Giannis's entire offensive game used to be just bull rush towards the basket. Guys need to develop some counters or something


I think people underestimate how hard it is to just develop some counters, at least counters at a star level. Like giannis can't shoot, so counters are going to be hard to come by. Harden never actually shot mid range shots well, no matter how much people wanted him to take them. Tatum doesn't have elite speed to get past people but does have height and enough handles to shoot step backs so thats mostly what he does.

Your allowed to criticize your team’s players bro you’ll be alright


I do.. when they’re playing bad.

Tatum has 31 on high efficiency and 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 2 blocks and you say he’s been Knicks best player in the quarter. If you start criticising that then you’re just criticising all day and not enjoying basketball


This is confusing. Tatum has dominated on both ends and is having one of if not the best game of these playoffs by anyone to this point tonight depending on how he closes it.

I assume it’s because you don’t assume possession, but that last foul on brown should have all the “clear path” implications
