I really thought when Tatum put a poster on Lebron THEN hit a 3 to give the C's a 72-71 lead, that maybe it was meant to be.
NOPE. Brown loses Green in the corner who hits a wide open 3, then we chuck up a bad shot, and on the other end Lebron passes to Thompson who walks to an easy dunk SMH.
Brutal. Great playoff run from the C's, but still felt like an awful way to end it. Lot of guys just didn't show up tonight.
The Cavs responded to every spurt of momentum the Celtics got. I loved the Tatum sequence. I think back to Morris’ that put us up 3, then Smith immediately responding with his own.
Tatum gave LeBron a little bump who looked backed at Tatum as if to say, "Kid, you haven't done SQUAT to disrespect me, I'll show you who you are dissing". That was a turning point, just an immature move by Tatum.
Ummm... what? I liked that from Tatum... Tatum is only 20 years old, and without him, Rozier, Horford or Brown, I don't think he would ever be in that same position to do so.
As he said in the post game, "I meant no disrespect... I just made a play... Emotions."
I want Tatum to never ever shrivel before LeBron... I want him to look him in the eye every time something like that happens...
