- Thread starter RorschachsMask
- Start date
Considering the Cavs all time greatest player who is only known as a Cav ended up going to NASCAR is quite telling.

Tatum goes off but C's win by < 10 ---> they underperformed, they should be winning these games by 20+
Tatum has a similar game as G1, maybe slightly better shooting, C's win by 20+ ---> Tatum is playing awful and will cost them a title
Tatum goes off and C's win big ---> doesn't count, Cavs are tomato cans
Mark Price > Brad Daugherty
And approximately 80 Boston Celtics > Mark Price.
I will always put hockey above basketball, but I'm so much more looking forward to this game over last night's B's game and the game tomorrow for my liver
So if Tatum gets doubled and passes the ball to another C and then they pass to Derrick White who is wide open because of a Tatum double, he is not playing well enough to win, right? I want to understand the argument.
If he doesn’t have high usage and FG% he isn’t trying hard enough.
Well he's not getting any stats on that last wide open 3 by White because the Cav's collapsed on him but the ball got to White via Jrue. Fail
I love the aggressive takes to the hoop. Looks like the Cavs are really trying to stay committed to man, and we'll, that doesn't work either with Tatum and Jaylen able to drive by them.
Oh and forgetting about Al reminds me of when Draymond dared Jaylen to shoot for a quarter and the Cs were up 20 in a blink.

Tatum should always shoot even when and especially when doubled and tripled. Don’t you know the trophy they don’t even give out a team trophy at the end of this tournament to the winner? Only an individual award. This is why the media rightfully hates him.
This is fucking crazy. This team is in the conference semi-finals against another playoff team, and barring anything unforeseen it looks like they will win by 20+ easily.
But the argument is that this is not playing well enough to win a championship. I just want to understand the math behind that argument. Do Tatum FGs count for more than the usual amount? If a C scores one offense, shouldn't we be happy regardless of who it is?
