I am not a Tatum fan, but Tatum not playing at all is ridiculous! I feel bad 😔 for Tatum, I hope 🤞 this motivates Tatum to be MVP of the league next season and win 🥇 another championship.
It’s not rocket science – Kerr, in my opinion, is not the best coach for this USA basketball team. There is no excuse for not playing J. Tatum. I’m not buying the “It’s about the matchups,” argument. He’s an All NBA player; find playing time….Maybe they wouldn’t have gotten in such a big hole earlier in the game had he played. Questionable coaching decision making. Kerr coaches like he’s using a teleprompter!😂
Kerr saw White as a better player than Tatum 😂
Playing booker,edwards and white over Tatum gotta be something going on behind the scene 😂
Oh no! How will the warriors cope with a inefficient 50 ball on 40 shots next season 😂😂😂😂😂
I will never understand how the only 1st team All-NBA player on the squad, who’s also coming off winning his first NBA championship, gets two DNPs.
I understand the Haliburton DNPs but Jayson Tatum though……
Even if it was indeed about matchups, you mean to tell me that you couldn’t give Tatum 5-10 mins of playing time?
I like Steve Kerr as a coach but this is inexcusable.
Whoop warriors every chance
Tatum is not better than Bron , KD or CHEFF but is better than the rest. So should be a kind of punishment…. stevie kerr sucks
The NBA had a chance to move on from Lebron and show its young talent. They choose to do a farewell tour in the Olympics its pitiful.
i think alot of people is blowing it out of proportion. Steve Kerr is just playing people that fits the role he need on the floor. point blank period. I get DNP look crazy after he won a Championship but let be honest if Jayson Tatum was playing against Serbia they was losing. Im not one of those delusional Celtic fans. What he brings to the team was not needed tbh it is what it is.
So what…. Stop crying
The team is down by 17 do you think we need Tatum or the big 3 , so yeah Steve is doing a great job

if only they bench lebron instead of Tatum. it would have been a 20 points win by USA team. the only reason USA team won this, because curry decided to take over the game in 4rth quarter.
Be happy with a gold and quit whining. Press in Philly didn't complain this much when Embiid sat.
Tatum shouldn’t have played … I didn’t want him in the game over anyone that actually played …. He wasn’t doing what Steph Bron book Jo or KD was doing so STFU
“My” Starting 5
1. Steph
2. JT
3.KD
4. LeBron
5. Embiid
They would NEVER be behind in ANY Game. Come on Steve Kerrr. It’s not rocket science
Now JT and JB are both mad. Going to be a great year for the Celtics next season. Kerr is a joke.
I hope Kerr doesn’t coach for 2028 because he makes bad decision for not letting Tatum play.
well, that's why Kerr is the coach and you guys just talk… And no there's no angry between those guys…they just want to get the gold and go home.
I like Tatum and he needs be,more assertive in driving to the hoop, creating shots on this stage. 🤔
AYO Steve!! Please just give Embiid the keys in this game against France. Don't forget Embiid dropped a 70-piece on Wemby just earlier this season. Bully their big men and watch Embiid hip thrust us to the gold😂
Good luck fielding a team if Kerr is the coach. The reason they needed such a comeback is because of their lack of defense. Open shooter over and over again. F Kerr. When the Celtics win another title this year I hope he calls out Kerr. The Celtics team would have played better than this NBA all star team. The Celtics play team defense.
Team USA has violated Tatum this summer. He shouldn’t even pick up the phone in 2028💯
Why is Steve Kerr such an asshole?
The problem with Jason is he’s too much the company man. He’s gotta say something. I’d be like I’m never playing for Steve Kerr again. And when we play golden state we r gonna dominate them
it is not a HUMBLING EXPERIENCE for Tatum it is an INSULTING EXPERIENCE! if this Olympic experience does not wake Tatum up to prepare and work out better during this offseason and PLAY HIS BEST during the regular season, playoff I REALLY DON'T WHAT WOULD!
KD, Booker… and other older guys are playing lower than Tatum in this moment, its inexcusable Kerr put KD for playing long time in this physicall match and didn´t choice Tatum for start team… and dont put Tatum anytime? And Haliburton??? and why dont put Hollyday for play more time? Kerr is ricidulous coach.
I really like Tatum, but objectively he has not played well in the Olympics overall. The ultimate goal is winning as a team which is what has happened so far. I expect to see him against France.
At the end of the day, the goal is to win the gold medal. If they do that, then who cares. However, I do find interesting that he would take a very accomplished player, who just won the NBA championship and just bench him? Who knows what the interaction has been like with Kerr. Looks like Kerr hates his guts
Lebron gotta stat his pads
Why is Steve Kerr doing this to the light skin brothas??? 😎
Halliburton: DNP
Tatum: DNP
Steve Kerr sucks as the Olympic coach. I hope Tatum drops 50 on Golden State when we play them again. GO CELTICS!
You Boston fans are soooo delusional 😂
Jimmy Neutron is right on this one.
That lame ass Kerr will be hearing it from the TD Garden fans next season..can’t wait!
He is obviously jealous of their recent success- dissing the finals MVP (Brown) and now this for the SECOND TIME. It's ridiculous!! But I know whose team will never beat the Celtics!! 😂😂😂
