Mastodon @Boston Celtics Jayson Tatum said he rushed the final shot. Said in the back of his mind he wasn’t sure if they were going to foul him because they had a foul to give. Said it’s something he can learn from.

No shit JT lmao

Is what it is I’m fine with the ISO look for JT there. Wish KP got it with how he’d be shooting but it’s a 1 on 1 and I trust our guys to get a bucket
You completely missed the point of what he was saying lmao
Looks like he was rushing everything late including a timeout called by Joe where it looked like he might lose control of the ball again…
Maybe I’m blanking but I can’t remember the last time he hit a game winner
It’s a good look regardless. He missed. It happens.

Eh I’d rather have intentions of scoring and if they foul me that’s just an and 1 . If you go in overthinking they’re gonna foul you you’re playing into what they want.
Just look to tie it or win no overthinking
It certainly looked like he was expecting a foul with the way he flailed and fell to the ground.
So he knew they had a foul to give… And most teams have no inclination to foul if they’re ahead at that point…
So because he was unsure, he took the hero shot?!?!
And he’s going to learn from THAT one, but he didn’t learn from all the previous hero shots he missed?!?!
Red pill or blue pill??? 😂😂😜💨
Am I tripping? They didn’t have a foul to give? Jokic had just fouled Jrue.
Mark my words. JT will cost us another ECF/Final game, cause he still doesn’t understand that any starter can make the last shot. It doesn’t have to be him.
We need Tatum to get a little bit of pierce’s clutches. He gets so nervous end of game
Soon as the final 10 seconds of the game hits the aliens from Space Jam come down and steal all of Tatums powers. We need to stop going to him for the final shot. He’s absolutely awful at it

Tatum last clutch decision making. Should have crashed the net waaaay more.
He’s talking about a foul on the floor before the shot, right? Seems like everyone here is somehow thinking he meant *during* the shot. And he’s got a point – if they foul him with 2 seconds to go on the floor, they have to pass in and just jack up a shot.
Denver did a great job of forcing Tatum into rushed terrible shots the last 2 minutes of the game. He was smothered. The plays in crunch time can’t be all solo ball. Force the foul or move the ball.
He was little sped up for sure!
it was an OK loss. two heavyweights going at it. this should motivate the team to get better so they can beat the defending champs
Nah. JT is a powerhouse player, with 0 clutch. That’s ok, it doesn’t mean he isn’t a top player.
