Why on earth is Semi playing?

Brown foul trouble probably?

I do not like that Tatum waved off the PNR on that last play

[SCeltic34]

What the hell is Tatum doing?

[liam]

Good hands by TIMELORD there!

[gouki88]

Does Tatum realise this game is actually kinda important?

[slamtheking]

Tatum really must be out of it for even JVG to pick up on it

[keevsnick]

Jeez Tatum, whats up with him.

[blink]

uggg

[jpotter33]

Timelord killing it out there! Don't understand the reason he wasn't playing earlier.

And good Lord, Tatum is awful out there.

I understand running the clock down at the end of the quarter. Why does that play always result in a long jumper however? Why not drive the ball ever? So much good can happen when you attack the defense.

Agreed.  Our dribble penetration and crisp decision making was why we played so well offensively in game 3.  Doesn't help that Brown is in foul trouble and hasn't been as aggressive.

They are walling off the rim whenever we drive though, whenever Brown or Tatum drive there’s two or three defenders walling it off. If we hit some perimeter shots it will force them to pay more attention to their closeouts and open up the middle

The thing is though, the drive to the rim collapses the def and will give other players open shots.  Jaylen drove a few times and hit Gordon twice for really good looks.  Gotta hit shots.

Exactly, we need some driving kicks that will force them to pay more attention to people on the perimeter which would then open up the inside

Seriously is Tatum drunk?

[gouki88]

Get Tatum and Wanamaker off right now

[ozgod]

Tatum not having a very good game offensively or defensively. It’s a good thing we’re only down by three

[blink]

Brad, please sit Tatum for a couple minutes.  His head isn't in the game right now

[MattyIce]

Seriously is Tatum drunk?

yes

Tatum is a future superstar. But honestly this is why he's still not a "Top 10 player in the league" or a true MVP candidate yet. Can't have games like this where you just look drunk. Tatum honestly seems to have those kind of moments every 3 or 4 games.
