  1. Victor Oladipo exposed both Tatum and Brown last postseason. They can’t dribble left. This is common knowledge if you care about the defensive side of hooping. Block them from going right and be ready to contest the shot. And they also can’t pass in a pressure situation. Crowd them, run the clock down and when they can’t get a shot off they’ll throw a bad pass.

  2. Tatum had 32, 28, and 36 against you Alex. Where was your coaching and defense then? If it’s so simple why did he roll you? 😂😂😂 get outta here.

  3. My guy is the first white guard to make All-Defensive First Team since 1980

  4. He’s been stellar defensively when it comes to guarding Tatum, Tatum is only averaging 28 PPG vs Caruso’s teams. Caruso has him ALL figured out.

  5. How tf do you make an NBA all-defensive 1st team and you played 23 minutes a game. Shouldn’t be able to qualify for those awards when you spend 25 minutes on the bench. He’s a great defender but it’s a lot easier to defend with fresh legs

  6. Defense seems to be becoming a lost art of the game… im glad embiid won mvp it shows me that defense still matters a little bit.😌

  7. It’s funny to sit here and listen to Caruso act like he’d be shutting Tatum down cuz he’s so predictable 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

  8. I know he said book and Mitchell, but I think he meant Steph…. lol lol

  9. If the Heat win game 1 and Tatum has less than 20 we know the reason why 😂😂
    Edit: dang it JJ…

  10. Tatum is a flawed player. He’s not very good from a play making point. He doesn’t really have a handle either. Relatively easy to stay in front of. Taking away his three is key. Who cares if he gets to the rim. He’s not great at that either

  11. JJ: "D Book and Mitchell according to you has the DEEPEST bag in NBA"
    Caruso: "You are the worst!"
    JJ: "You just said, they have deep bags, come on"
    Caruso: "Did you just changed the words you put into my mouth 5 seconds ago?"

  12. How to defend tatum: take his passport away so he doesnt travel in the game, damn he was carrying a ball like loaf of bread, just cradle it into his midrift no dribble involved. 😂 thought he was in costco

  13. JJ Redick is getting destroyed by everyone. Is there anyone more smug and oozing with white privilege than him. Let him burn👨‍🚒🔥

  14. Your take on Ja is so stupid, you usually have sensible points but not in this, Chuck said all the things I wanna say fool
