Don't care if Timelord starts or not, but he needs more minutes.

I know Steven's said they are nursing his hip to save him for the post season, but dude should be getting a minimum 24 MPG.

They’ve starting missing  3s but now zubac is killing us inside

[footey]

Timelord cannot cover Zubac

He was switched onto another player. Give me a break

But he can't let him get position so close on those hook shots.

[slamtheking]

Timelord cannot cover Zubac

to be fair, he's trying to stop a penetrator and no one's sliding over to cover his guy.  happening repeatedly

At what point do we start worrying about Tatum’s shooting percentages? His shooting splits pre/post covid are worrisome.

IMHO it's fair to worry now.  He's visibly different post-covid, not just in terms of results but also energy and athleticism.  We don't have a lot of concrete information on how long it takes the aftereffects to really go away. 

This may be the Tatum we get for the rest of the season.  Hopefully it isn't an issue beyond that.

No one knows how long covid effects people.

Timelord cannot cover Zubac

His rotations aren’t wrong. He has committed to the help multiple times but nobody moved to help him. The subsequent dumps to Zubac haven’t been his fault.

agreed.  I'm typically critical of his team D but he's made the leap this year.  kid's not just a rotational player but an impactful player.

Good grief, Tatum. Just sit him at this point, Brad. He's actively hurting us with this crap shot selection out there. Just too fatigued to play right. Rest him the rest of the night and on Thursday and give him an extended break.

Yeah he needs a break. He just hasn’t looked right post-Covid. Everything just seems to come harder to him right now. Doesn’t help that he’s getting winded faster.

Yeah, TIMELORD can't guard every player on the court.

[MICeltsfan]

You know there’s a problem when Teague is outplaying Tatum. 

[PAOBoston]

This is like Teague’s 3rd straight good game.

[Atzar]

Zubac can't guard Williams, either.

[slamtheking]

wow, timelord

[MICeltsfan]

I love that Ian Eagle just used the Time Lord name.

[esel1000]

Man can’t get enough of Timelord right now. Just play him for the rest of the game seriously.
