I was at the Clippers game tonight so didn't get a chance to watch

did Tatum have a big scoring night... amirite?
You thought him scoring a lot was the shot?

"Tatum looks completely spent, probably thinks he's in the running for MVP :rolleyes:"

Tatum basically only said once that he thought he should be MVP... in direct answer to a question of whether or not he thought he was. Every other time he's talked about the MVP or anything else related to an end of season award..all he's talked about is winning the championship.. but fans like yourself keep saying things like your post.. as if he's a selfish player..when basically all he's done this year is shoot less and try to do anything he can to help the team win.

Your comment was miserable.. Tatum has flaws but being a selfish asshole isn't one of them.. if anything his flaw is going out there and playing every day.. and fans like yourself still complain about it or say it's only because he wants to be the MVP..which there's just no evidence for given how he plays the game.. in his own words he's said that he can average over thirty...but he knows that the team is better if he doesn't. But sure.. you know better and the only reason he played tonight is because he wants an MVP.

Edit: he had 38.. but even Max said it was a quiet 38. It's not like he wasn't playing within the offense. 13-25 and 4-10 from three..8-8 FTs. Probably about what he'd average every night if Jaylen, KP and Horford were out.

Yes. He has looked spent/tired over the last 4 games.
Yes. That happens in March, during WC road trips, after a bunch of intense games
Yes. Key players sometimes will take a day off during a BTB (see Brown, Holiday, Horford, KP)
Yes. Wanted JT and Jaylen to take a day off during the BTB, so did 20 other posters around here
Yes. He has played BY FAR the most minutes on the team so far this season
Yes. He played BY FAR the most minutes last season, and the season before that.
Yes. He wants to win the MVP
Yes. He has talked about MVP for years
Yes. He has talked about being screwed out of $10MM because of All-NBA voting before
Yes. He teased Joel Embiid years ago telling him he was going to win MVP before Joel
Yes. Pink hatters chant MVP during his FTs
Yes. Vegas has him 5th in MVP odds behind Joker, SGA, Luka, Giannis
Yes. I care very little about post-season awards
Yes. He got his POINTZ! which was the conclusion of a game thread post.
Yes. The team plays better with Tatum on the floor
Yes. He can play selfish at times but is improving on that

I have no idea what Max or Grande said, but guess Max is miserable for calling it a "quiet 38"?

Yes. I recall watching Tatum completely drained in the Finals 2 years ago.
Yea. I want him well rested by June because he's this Celtic's best player & could give a fuck about a March game in Utah


Need further clarification on a one-line game thread post?
