AND THERE IS OUR BI POLAR CELTICS ONCE AGAIN

u seriousluy cannot make this stuff up

Tatum's shot selection tonight is vomit.

His 3's have been pretty open, he's just missing them. Don't know if it's nerves or the shoulder or what, but he has to knock down shots.

Was about to say, he's just been whiffing on wide open shots all night.

Bunch of open looks.  Needs to make them now.

JT didn't show up tonight in the scoring column.

If Tatum showed up to this game we’d be winning

[Billz401]

Imagine if JT showed up today.  We'd probably have the lead right now.

If he shot even just 35% we would be up right now. Plus those 2 missed free throws to start the game

If it's still his shoulder he should go for more mid-range shots IMO. His range from the mid range seemed unaffected in the Miami series

It baffles me that Ime doesnt have a couple of plays specifically to get Tatum in a good spot down low for easy buckets.  Something where he catches and shoots within 10 ft.  If he is off, getting him to try to take his man off the dribble is not the play. 

[Phantom255x]

Tatum is shooting 3-16 and the Warriors are only up 5

[slamtheking]

The Warriors aren't doing anything special.  Tatum is just missing wide open looks and floaters he is very capable of making.

he looks like the moment is too big for him tonight.  hope I'm wrong but he's looked scared on the court this game

[Redz]

Great response again!
Please please please wake up JT !

Let’s go!

jt has received the star status since his rookie year. time for ime to shock the system and sit him. send a strong message: alleged superstar or not, if you don’t come to play in the finals, you don’t play. give the next man up a shot. maybe that will get mr. tatum out of his head.

[keevsnick]

I can deal with tatu struggling on tough shots, that happens, but some of these have been WIDE OPEN.

A miracle the c's are down just 5.

[seancally]

Wish Tatum had the Larry bird mentality instead of that overrated Kobe crap.

I don't think anyone besides maybe Michael Jordan had a comparable will to Larry. Hoping for a player to mystically become someone completely different is a bit odd.

Kobe also won 5 rings. I'd take 60% of that for JT

Always hilarious when folks on this board wish Tatum was less like Kobe. Uhhhhhhhh if Tatum turned out to be Kobe we’d be in pretty good shape.

Rob needs to play most of this quarter.  It is time to dominate the paint.

Ime said around 20 minutes was his limit tonight, and he’s at 21, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
