I am more concerned about his shooting stats than his isolation stats.

25 FGA/game
40% FG%
27.3% 3PT%
78.1% FT%
45% eFG%
48.8% TS%

Those are entering Marcus Smart bad shooting territory from a guy that has been an amazing shooter for most of his career.

It's a small sample size and my guess is he has had 4-6 game shooting slumps in the past. But this is more concerning to me than his iso numbers.

Thankfully, we’ve got a ways to go before he reaches full Marcus.

I think he’s forcing things, compounded by getting screwed on a few calls.  It will eventually even out.

I'm actually not worried as it feels Tatum has been a slow starter with his best run being post all star game. In contrast Brown usually starts hot.

Id love both guys to start hot but Ime hasn't gotten the best rotations going yet. Hopefully Ime gets it and doesn't make decisions like BS. As soon as this team is healthy get the chemistry flowing, the **** with data.

Tatum has started slow before. Not worried

I understand Tatum is a slow starter. Along with this trait, he is an excellent passer something he should bring into his game when his team needs it. 10 for 32...maybe you don't have it tonight... spread the ball around to the other guys.

Greatest issue is the team shooting 2 for 26 from three...not going to win many games with those numbers...yikes.
