Ok, that’s fucking piss poor. You can’t take that fucking shot when you’re 0-9

0-10. Good Christ.

And just to have this here because after the game it will inevitably turn into “the defense is gearing up for him! Of course his efficiency would be bad!!”

He’s smoked 3 literal lay ups, that last 3 was wide open….I don’t even fucking know. They can’t win if he’s shooting this badly

Only up 7 after that half is a really bad situation. They should be up 15 based on the shooting numbers. Not good.

It’s all in his head right now. No question about it. Tatum has the yips.

7 points at the end of that half feels like a deficit and you can lay it on the feet of Tatum. He was a massive negative in the last few minutes. Thank god for Marcus.

Jones and Burke's insistence on either narrative building or pontificating against a narrative, is intolerable.

Maybe run a play yo pass the ball to Tatum in a somewhat open situation
They don’t have a single play designed to get him an open layup. Do some backdoor cuts or something for fucks sake.

Left a MUCH bigger lead on the table trying to force too much bad shit.

This is the way we need to be playing. Need Tatum to find his offense as we’re probably not going to keep having our guards carry the offense in the second half.

Mark Jones was saying the other day that Tatum is lifting before games, and wraps up 30 mins before tip off. Yeah maybe he should chill with that

I mean, I'm honestly shocked at how poor he's shooting it. Is his hand broken? Honestly - PJ Tucker is shooting better than he is.

If we don't win this series, it's definitely a large part because of Tatum's poor offensive play.

He has to pick it up. Quickly.
