The Celtics aren’t winning no title with this pathetic version of Tatum. I think this is just who he is he’ll give you an amazing game and drop a 40 50 piece but he’ll follow it up with stinkers. He’ll also go a bunch of stretches where he just looks awful.
This game shouldn’t be 10 should be up way more
To be fair, he's actually been pretty consistent in the playoffs so far. Almost every night he's had somewhere in the realm of 20-25 points, 9-11 rebounds and 4-7 assists and between 25%-30% from three (eek).
He hasn't really had any monster games thus far, but hasn't had any real extreme stinkers either.
I think he's recognised that if they are going to win they need to do it as a team, not with him taking 40 ISO shots. He's still taking some bad ISO shots but at least he's not doing it 15 times a night. He is taking way too many threes though.
I've noticed with Tatum there's a visible inconsistency with his jumper. When he rises and releases the shot in one fluid motion he makes it pretty much every time. When he goes up in what feels like a "two stage" jumper (i.e. elevation and release look like two distinct, separate movements) he misses almost always. Kind surprising that a scorer of Tatum's level hasn't yet achieved consistency in his shooting motion.
