5/9: ECSF Game 2: Cavs@Celtics
- Thread starter RorschachsMask
- Start date
And 52% from 3.
I swear peoples' thirst for narrative just makes it impossible to appreciate the amount of variance in basketball.
With KP out, DW is the necessary 3rd scorer. And if he isn't scoring, the droughts can happen
White has covered a lot of Tatum’s poor offense this postseason.
I think we might NEED White’s offense as opposed to him being bonus scoring.

In case you can't see any other players.. DWhite is also 1-8 from three.
Edit: Tatum also leads the team in rebounds and assists.. but I know that doesn't matter
This is feeling like an uncomfortable truth. Wish we could count on the two superduperstars.
7/8 last quarter really was the story. but i agree the first half had plenty of issues that weren’t just good shooting. the uncontested straight line drives
Strus is probably still pissed that Tatum's buddy Javonte Green made the team over him.
Sure and ageeed. But typically teams on championship runs are not looking this feeble, YMMV
I don’t think that’s it.
One of Holiday or White needs to be good. Tonight they’ve both been tire fires
It's getting to the point that if his name wasn't Jrue Holiday, we would just say he's some washed vet.
i think tatum does this thing sometimes when he’s got guys he doesn’t respect defending him where he feels the need to show his bag which invariably means a bunch of dribbling followed by a midrange. which is annoying to me
Can’t lose the 3 point shooting contest this badly. 7-31 on mostly good looks is going to lose most games.
Still don't understand Joe's insistence on soft switches on screens. Al is getting absolutely torched by their guards every trip. Inexcusably bad game planning.
Down by 20 at home. This is an embarrassment. Can't afford one of these let downs against the higher level comp/stakes
Tatum has 25 on 17 shots. Anyone blaming him is really missing how this all works. He’s not perfect but he ain’t the problem here
He's basically the only guy who has showed up tonite and all you guys can do is complain about him.. it's getting f'in ridiculous.
When things are going their way, they are untouchable.
But the effort when there's adversity it is really tough to watch.
At the end of the day, the story of the game is that they were terrible from 3 and so they couldn't stay in touching distance. But there was a time when a little toughness would have gone a long way. Getting dominated on the glass is tough to take. It's a little misleading because more of the missed shots were by the Celtics, but still -- they were uninterested in rebounding tonight.
