Is there an NBA superstar who gets the benefit of the doubt from officials more rarely than Tatum?

Pretty amazing Brown is 6-10. He has taken some absolutely atrocious shots.
Dallas +3 on true shot attempts. Celtics Dreb% is right at 75%. Oreb% is 17.4%. So that's where they are losing the shooting possession battle.

That half was the quintessential Luka experience. Transcendent numbers and complete control on the offense end for better or worse (on pace for a 50 point triple double), and defense so embarrassing that whenever his man had the ball (basically whoever it was), the Mavs would have to either do a scram switch or quick double team, even if the offensive player was outside the 3 point arc.

I didn’t notice the atrocious attempts. A couple of fall aways in there. Those have been money shots for JB. And one or two layups/dunks.

I'm not encouraged that the Celts are 45% from three, the Mavs are 25%, and the Celts are only up 7.

He's the worst NBA media personality, and it's not even close. Nothing but hot takes, 0 intelligent analysis, and contradicts himself from day to day, week to week, month to month. He's an instant mute.
I found it amusing him calling out Tatum's points being 11 not 16, saying look it up when he was blatantly lying about the standing in the pregame

After the Pacers - Bucks game at the in season tournament I was standing outside the arena. ESPN and TNT broadcasts were right next to one another where they could actually converse and carry on.

Chuck at one point yelled at his colleagues at the four letter network, “Hey, at least you guys have Malika to look at! We got nobody over here!”

And yet, at the half, he's all that even the "sophisticated" analysts like Lowe can talk about.

Pointz rule everything around me.

I get it to some degree—non-superstar NBA retirees have a limited universe of career options, and there are probably a lot of guys who would want Perk’s job. If he thinks this schtick is his ticket to keeping said job, then it makes sense. It’s just wild that he went from my binky who I remain convinced would’ve brought us a second ring against LAL had he stayed healthy, to an insufferable twat.

He was captain of the "break up the Jays" bus so he can eat that forever.

I used to really love Perk. Now I just want him to shut the fuck up.

They're up 3, but this is one of their worst efforts in awhile. They're just not up for this game, and the 3-point disparity is masking that.

Alternative narrative: They can find another gear no problem when needed. They just hit the jets and double the lead

They look way too sluggish for a team that hadn't played since Tuesday.
