For a guy who is supposed to be our best player it feels like Tatum doesn't really come through in these moments. Even tonight it was mostly White and Porzingis again. Holiday has been poor too

Tatum's had great games and big moments but not as consistently as other superstars

I do not understand why we keep giving Tatum the ball with the game on the line. Has he ever won a game with n the final seconds? He must be shooting like 2% in those situations. You have a walking mismatch in Porzingis and refuse to use him when it matters.

Ugh. But at least Joe called the timeout there and got a decent look for Tatum. I'm happy with that look. Much better than an iso three.

But, man, just lots of brain fartts for us this game. That White lack of a box out could come back to bite us.

Good look. Can’t really believe they gave up the 6-point lead.  Pistons gonna be highly energized.

Tatum is not a good 3 point shooter.  He needs to stop acting like he is one.


Too talented to waste his effort shooting 3's

This team is too talented to waste on Tatum's iso

Why does every ATO play look like a clown car being driven by Ray Charles?

this was at least a drawn up play to get the ball to JT on the move
but he needs to keep going to the rim, fade away 18 footers aren't going to draw a call.
we are terrible at the end of the game.

I would've liked to see a pick and pop or misdirection for KP there. They wouldn't have expected it.

You know what they say. When there's a heater it's always meant to cool down at some point.

I think the C's got this game  ;)

Looool

OT against Detroit Pistons is unacceptable standards especially after having two days off and playing at home with the best record in the NBA

He got a good look… ???

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

This team relies way too much on Tatum being the final shooter. Maybe draw up a play so that someone like White or KP is open for a shot.

Can’t ask for a better shot than that - too bad Tatum has forgotten how to shoot.

Still happy they came all the way back, but with a 6 point lead and less than 2 minutes left; they should have been able to close it out in regulation.

We have to win an OT game eventually, right?

Lol, at least we're worse than the Pistons in OT.
