Tatum wastes so many dribbles. Dribble twice and pull up for an wide open three. Literally just wastes possession dancing for mid range.

It’s so unnecessary for Tatum to take these shots. He’s a decent cutter, a great 3 point shooter when open, looks good usually against smaller defenders on him yet he settles for bad Kobe-like shots for some reason.

Tatum just needs to keep things simple

Hayward took himself out of the game. Hopefully he was just winded and not hurt

All that dribbling to create zero separation whatsoever.

Threes or layups, JT. Threes or layups. Or at least try to create contact. These long twos are annoying af.

If we keep Tatum in the future, we gotta make sure he's not working out with Kobe in the summer.

You are right, he goes nowhere with his dribble. My old coach used to bench guys for that. Either go forwards or sideways but don't just dribble going nowhere.

Brad waits aeons to take a timeout. He should play Semi over Tatum to send him a message. This kid has completely lost his mojo this season

I could see a starting lineup of Smart / Hayward / Morris / Horford / Baynes working pretty well during the playoffs.

Rozier, Smart and Tatum are killing us on offense.

Love the bounce and confidence be plays with in this mode though.

Really just needs to learn to channel it better and smarter.
