He's a gamer and WILL continue to knock down big shots. He's limited in other areas of his game, but his effort & hoops IQ help balance that out.
Nice player that's really come on as of late.

Agreed. But do the PP fanboys understand who he is? I love what he is bringing and could also see him out of rotation again next year if Brad brings in another 6-4 vet combo guard with 3 and D skills, like Josh Hart for example.

Pritch Brown Tatum Grant Rob - 7 games, 11 minutes, net rating +37 *******probably our best offensive lineup******

Pritch Brown Tatum Horf Rob - 6 games, 13 minutes, net rating +31

more of these lineups please

Pritch Brown Tatum Smart Rob - 5 games, 18 minutes, -1 net rating

I would have thought this lineup would be better

All of these are small samples sizes

That I cannot answer on behalf of the PP fanboys. All I'm saying is that he's playing really well right now, and that he's an NBA caliber rotation player moving forward. Whether that's in Boston, or elsewhere, he will be playing some minutes.

P-Rabbit Abby, not fast PP. :roll:

Sounds like I jumped out of a car to take a whiz in the parking lot.

I just got done watching some highlights from him from the past few games. This guy is a scorer. If we win the championship or even just reach the finals I have no doubt he will be a big reason why. This guy kills rallies from other teams with big 3's and when we are already winning big he just piles on to add salt to the wound.

I also love that he clearly has a ton of confidence and alot of range. Not usually a fan of people taking long 3's unless your name is curry but I don't mind the occasional long 3 from him. He can knock it down. Off topic thought, I wish the playoffs started tomorrow. We have so much momentum and we can't play any better than we already are.

I can speak on behalf of the fanboys…..because I have become one! (Yet another mea culpa earned by this team)

Doubting them again? They all say they have another level. I hope they are right because I'm feeling like you, how much better could they possibly get? it'd certainly be scary if they are right. :pray:

I just think it's wishful thinking to say they could possibly play any better with this cast. They would have to be damn near perfect to play any better. They are at their peak now as a team. Which is not a bad thing because their peak includes completely embarrassing teams. Even legit playoff teams. This is good enough. :lol:

Only question is if we can keep it up once the playoffs start.

I still have a bad feeling our downfall will be having to rely too much on tatum once things really get tough. Our offense turns to straight ass whenever he isn't out there. This won't be a problem next year when we have beal. :wink:
