it seems like some guys are not even watching the game. He was by far the 2nd best player today.

Id say Jrue has


Regardless, this isn't the game to be complaining about Tatum. There were plenty of chances earlier in the tournament.

Lillard cannot make wide-open threes after making 30 foot step-backs with hands in his face all year. Now he misses two free throws. Wow.

I always complain about intentional fouling at the end of games being boring, but it turns out if you don’t have five minutes of commercials every stoppage it’s actually just fine

What about unnecessarily going iso? Stopping the flow of the offense? A resistance to creating for others? Dumb turnover in crunch time?

For Tatum this was one of his better games.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.
