Game 6: The Beginning of Philly's End

[MannyRam]

So this is kind of the literal opposite of last year game 6 for Tatum. I just don't get it

 

[shawnrbu]

What happened to playing Pritchard?

 

[djbayko]

There is plenty of research to indicate the opposite, and most of the contrary research isn't referring to intense cardio so much as post-workout light cardio.

So, since the standard here is to just say "wrong", I'll throw a "wrong" right back at you.

I think we're talking about two different things here, so I'm not going to debate you any longer. I know it works from experience. Would it be more optimal not to do it? Sure. But NBA players don't have the luxury of skipping games.

 

[JCizzle]

Tatum and Brown are about to make a combined like $600M-$700M.

 

[jose melendez]

One of two things will happen: Tatum will start scoring and we will win, or Tatum will continue to not score and we will lose. If the latter happens he will get killed all off season. If its the former, let's look at games as a whole.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Tatum has been horrible

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Brogdon for Smart is my guess, perhaps a few minutes of Grant as well?

 

[kfoss99]

I'm a huge Tatum supporter. He's got to get his s together, or this season is f'd.

 

[Reverend]

Gotta consider sitting Tatum. Season and possibly window on the line.

How does everyone else look if the ‘76ers aren’t playing D on Tatum, though?

 

[Ale Xander]

They’re fuxked

 

[TrapperAB]

I look forward to all of the ball-washing stories about Philly’s tenacity and grit when the single greatest contributor to the Sixers not being blown out is Jayson Tatum.

 

[OnWisc]

Tatum is playing like the dehydrated version of himself from the Gatorade commercial.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Tatum picked the wrong day to forget how to shoot

*week

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Sixers have some fucking grit to them.

 

[ifmanis5]

Let's make sure we ice Brogdon

Seriously, was thinking the same. He's in there now.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Tatum is playing like the dehydrated version of himself from the Gatorade commercial.

Somebody get him some GatorLyte!

 

[BigSoxFan]

Tatum 7-37 from 3 since Game 1

19%

sub-Mendoza level

 

[bohous]

fuuuuck

 

[Cellar-Door]

What happened to playing Pritchard?

The guys he might have played over have been really good. No reason to play him if Smart, White and Brogdon are all playing well

 

[LynnRice75]

Gotta consider sitting Tatum. Season and possibly window on the line.

Feels like we are plus 1 with him in and plus 1 with him on the bench.
i fear a tight game in the final minutes, but if we’re not careful, we won’t need to worry about it.

 

[Auger34]

I wish I was angry. I’m honestly more sad now. Tatum’s playing like absolute dog shit. He was great on defense in the first half…not good thus far. He has to play better than this

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Honestly thinking Tatum might need to sit.

 

[McBride11]

Tatum is broken.

THAT IS NOT A FUCKING FOUL GET FUCKED

 

[timelysarcasm]

Like if we let George fucking Niang big dog us, we deserve to lose.

 

[bohous]

This whole team looks gassed

 

[djbayko]

Jesus Christ. That's a foul.

 

[JakeRae]

Gotta consider sitting Tatum. Season and possibly window on the line.

If Mazzulla does this, Brad should immediately fire him. Like, he should do it in the middle of the game so we can have a coach that makes rational decisions. Fortunately, that won’t happen.

 

[worm0082]

Time to pull Tatum

 

[Just a bit outside]

Now he can’t shoot and is turning it over. Total meltdown.

 

[Preacher]

Tatum may need to come out. He’s terrible tonight.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Doris acknowledges Tatum was fouled there….while Embiid takes two free throws

 

[ObstructedView]

Obviously the solution is to just let Tatum try an aimless iso play. Wtf

 

[kfoss99]

Hows Tatum getting locked down by Niang?

Also, can we run some offensive sets?

 

[Auger34]

GJGE Jayson. Good job on that 1st team All NBA

 

[JCizzle]

WHAT IS HE DOING???

 

[soxin6]

He was fouled Doris. Embiid is constantly at the line, so go to hell.

 

[EddieYost]

Maybe don’t run the offense through Tatum right now. We have 3 pgs out there.

 

[Ale Xander]

Brogdon missed bunny

 

[ifmanis5]

We're back to missing layups.
And the crowd is back in it.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Tatum now -6. Oof.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

That is not a shooting foul

 

[jose melendez]

Bailing out that out of control bullshit.

 

[stp130]

In fairness to Tatum, that was great D by Philly. But yeah, he's sucked tonight.

 

[McBride11]

Upward motion??? For the love of god

 

[shawnrbu]

Call a timeout.

 

[Strike4]

This is it right here. Season on the line.

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

How is that shooting?

 

[OnTheBlack]

How is that a shooting foul?! Jesus Christ.

 

[djbayko]

Shooting foul. LOL

 

[Mooch]

Um… how was that a shot attempt?
