Tatum Hero Ball Needs to Stop

[bcgenuis]

Tatum has too many turnovers and plays hero ball way too much.  Until that stops, the Celtics are going nowhere.

I fully agree. It's been a problem for 3 seasons now.

So we post this during a game in which Tatum is 10 of 19 for 28 points with 2 turnovers (he also has 2 steals).  A game in which Brown is 4 of 17 for 15 points and 3 turnovers.

Seems like a strange time to make this thread.

And they're losing.

Especially in a game where the Hawks leading scorer has 8 turnovers. But some folks just hate Tatum.

He had two bad turnovers, but I think he’s trying to make something happen.  At least he’s going to the basket.

Somebody Needs to show tatum the pass button.

The game of friday is gonna show what this team is made of. They better win convincingly over these Hawks.

He's definitely trying. 

I just wish he'd be a little less careless with his handle.

Wow, here comes the hot takes again.

If only we did not have Tatum, we might have lost by 25 tonight instead.

If anything, tonight once again confirmed Tatum is alpha 1 on this team and we need to surround him and Brown with the right parts to win multiple titles.

Yeah his handle is shaky when he is driving to the bucket, especially if he is being double teamed.  Tatum needs to be a bit quicker when identifying that the double is coming and find the open man.  Tatum has a tendency to try and drive through the double team which isn't possible sometimes.  Just find the open man most of the time.  That said, it take other all star players years to get to that point.  He will get there.

Brown was a bigger problem in tonight’s game then Tatum was. Both players had 3 turnovers, but Brown’s shooting was abysmal. 6-20 from the field... he was a -10.
