I know this will offend the Tatum can do no wrong crew (it’s obvious who these posters are) but his production within the game is a rollercoaster. He often has quarters where he’s literally the worst player on the court but he normally rebounds.

Let’s hope that’s the case here, because it’s another dog shit quarter from him

I’m not offended, but you’re wrong. Tatum does have cold stretches, which I get finding frustrating, but even when he’s missing everything he’s still a good player. He actually is remarkably good at continuing to positively impact the game even when his scoring isn’t there, like that possession where he drove, collapsed the defense, and got Jaylen an open three.

That's the rule I would change (in the "what rule would you change" thread). None of this "see if it goes in" shit. It's a foul or it isn't, ref. Cut the shit.

Also they're hunting Jaylen on screens and getting good shots off it, either he dies and his man is open or they switch and it's a quick guy on Horford

Not close to solving Embiid for getting into the paint in meaningful ways; he rotates over and they pull the drive back out and have to reset.

If this is your stance then you have literally no bar for him. He could step onto the court and he’s automatically great.
That’s ridiculous and wrong

Why don't the Celtics set screens? Philly is feasting on a single screen getting an open shot at the top of the arc.

Dude….that’s not what’s happening at all. Have you watched this game? As soon as 13 steps on the court, it’s open season. Literally all of their actions involve him

Hard to sin when we are we so awful closing out quarters.
We were pretty awful in the beginning and middle of that one, too.

I mean you can pray that Maxey will miss but he waltzed into 2 completely wide open pull up 3's with Brogdon on him. Cannot happen. If Brogdon is going to be defending like this I don't know that you can play him 30 minutes this game.

very little drive and kick game on offense that quarter.

does jaylen have covid.

It's not like that's a rule today. It's a ref cognitive bias. How do you implement what you're saying?
