Tatum seems like he isn’t thinking about basketball

The NBA becomes a harder sport to watch as it makes its final transition into the up and down 3 point contest game.

You guys like the fake crowd noise and all that, or would you just rather hear the players?

Kemba is coming off screens lightning fast. That's my takeaway regardless of outcome..I also hate that Tatum never drives then throws a fake to draw a foul.. Throws up prayers instead

Maybe he wasn't kidding when he said he didn't touch a ball for a while when he was in quarantine.

This is like the beginning of the year for Tatum finishing around the rim...he’s gonna figure it much quicker now tho. May take a game or 2 or 3 but he will and then he’ll be back to normal

Panic city. Questioning his work ethic now. He’s sucked so far. Been bad but It’ll even out, pump the breaks

Van Gundy is 100% correct. These games only real value is to be clicking on all cylinders heading into the playoffs. Extended preseason

Tatum bricking everything is killing us.

He needs to play with a lot more force. Seems like he's coasting.

Bucks are clearly ready for the restart. We're not. Would have loved to see us give a better effort. Smart's the only one who looks up to his normal speed and aggressiveness. Jaylen is overplaying, Tatum is just terrible, and no one else is even a factor.

Tatum needs to wake the **** up

Im not gonna panick about anything in these 8 games. All that really matters is that we look better game 8 then game 1 and are ready for the playoffs.

This is a league-wide thing that is driving me nuts. Every game I watch I'm internally screaming at teams for leaving good shooters wide open in the corner.

For some reason the league hasn't figured out yet they they need to help less if the defender hasn't been clearly beat.

Big problem is gonna be playoffs when Giannis plays 40 min a game. We just can't match up properly with him. I believe we can score with the Bucks but defending Giannis is a real issue.
