Episode 625 of “The Tatum Rule” (ft. Derrick White and the 3 point line)

And the TV commentators say he is in a shooting slump. 😂

They are leaving PP and Derrick White wide open😭😭 This is like 2017 warriors Durant getting all of the open looks😭😭😭

He has not really been good this whole post season. He’s too good of a player to say “he keeps making the right play. They are getting away with it now due to opponent strength. He’s seriously going to need to step it up big time if the team wants to win the finals.

Tatum loooks around and sees 40%

tbf, with the amount of time tatum gets double/triple teamed, he didn’t get a triple double. I thought he was passing very well last night

MVP caliber players aren’t only there to run up their stats. They’re MVP because they make everyone else look great around him. He’s reading and making plays even if he’s not the one scoring and that’s what’s gonna get us there.

Tatum jacking up contested 3s > this guy sucks
Tatum making the right play by passing > this guy sucks
People’s brains are so broken by “hero ball” in the NBA they forget basketball is a team sport.

WHY DOESNT HE SHOOT A TON?
PrometheusAborted
Tatum is in a shooting slump and KP is out…. And we win by 25.
It’s a great *team*.
As much as I love and respect Spida, he is literally carrying the Cavs right now and it shows. Tatum doesn’t have to do that.

Everyone is dogging Tatum for not scoring a ton but he’s literally getting doubled/tripled every game and he’s letting Brown/White/Holiday go to work on mismatches and locking in defensive, this is arguably the best version of Tatum we have ever seen as a defender/passer/rebounder he just doing every other thing than scoring all while dragging doubles the second he touches the court, if they don’t double him well he’s just going to give you 40.

Pretty sure they were playing zone here, and it’s a snapshot in time that can be misleading. In other words, this is not what it seems.
Garland appears to be running off to jrue who is one pass away and PP is two passes away so they’re slacking off of him.
Anyway, Strus was handling JT by himself most of the night. That should be concerning.

Perhaps third best player on the Celtics team the glazing on this sub is unreal omegalol

He could shoot 10% from the field but as long as we win the chip it’ll be worth. Personally, I would like to see him shoot more efficiently from the field. So far, he is shooting around 40% from the field this playoffs which is so far the worst in his career.

If their game plan is to triple team Tatum, the Cavs are in for a short series

The last series they commented on how many of his assists led to made 3s. I can’t find any stats on this but they said he was first in the playoffs.

All the analyst said Tatum had a bad game. I disagree. He had a great game 18 points 10 rebounds five assist three blocks. Taking what the defense gave him,he played tough defense. He didn’t shoot well, and he recognized it early and started rebounding and feeding his teammates!

Tell me you didn’t watch the game without telling me you didn’t watch the game lmao. They decided to play zone late in the game and this was the result. They didn’t play this defense on Tatum all game lmao. Tatum was one on one most of the game, he had a tough shooting night. Stop trying to constantly defend him. Also, I think this led to a PP three.

The Cavs realized last night that “stop Tatum and make the rest of the Celtics beat us” is not a strategy that works any more. Even without KP this team has enough to beat the East.

I wonder if this is going to keep happening throughout the whole playoffs, even though it’s been basically 4 straight games now of teams taking the ball out of Tatum’s hands and just getting murdered by the rest of the team. I guess the strategy is that they just put the pressure on the role players and eventually they will go cold? Even though we have Jaylen dropping 30 on insane efficiency and will eventually have KP back?
I don’t really care because it’s not working at all, but I’m just sort of wondering out loud if we’re going to see this the rest of the way

Bold move leaving Jrue wide open in the corner

Only casuals think Tatum had a bad game yesterday.
His defense was insane. His rebounding was great. He found the open man. Did I mention his 3 blocks and only 1 turnover?
His shot was off today, but even on the offensive end, look at his value here based solely on gravity.
18/11/5 ain’t bad. A few more shots go in and he’s 24/11/5 and nobody is talking about it.
Go get ‘em next game JT!!

This is why it’s so huge that everyone else on the team has upped their game and we added KP. We lost the finals because the warriors dared the non JT Celtics to beat them and they couldn’t
Happy_Yogurtcloset_2
This reminds me of GS’s run when they everyone focused on Durant but Kerr’s motion heavy offense really obliterated overattention to any single player
Wally450
Crazy that Tatum gets to be the third option and focus on the defensive end and playmaking more than scoring. There’s going to be a game where we need him though. Hopefully he can answer the call.

They were definitely trying to make the rest of the team beat them and they did
lscottman2
i remember a game 1 when the celtics beat the lakers by 30 and then lost the series.
