Gets overhated a lot bc of his contract but he’s still a very good player. I’d trade White in a heartbeat for him ngl

NBA Twitter writing obituaries on JTs career, talking about his burst etc after one game. Let’s watch how quick the narratives change

Overall the biggest thinks with Tatum is that that with JB no longer here HE needs to be the one creating rim pressure. We saw in the 2024 finals how much attention he draws driving to the rim and how much that leaves other guys open. Need more of that and less contested middies

- Bigs have to be better. I've had my issues with DWhite and Hauser but I'm beginning to side eye Queta too, can't be paying $14 mil a year and still be getting pushed around by any good big you face

- This Garza gimmick has to end. He has no business playing real minutes when Queta and Mitch are healthy - No reason why Payton shouldn't be playing at least 30 minutes a night, especially since White isn't a real PG and we need as much half court pressure as possible

My take over last game now that the dust has settled: - Not worried about Tatums jumper. What does worry me a bit is his lack of aggressiveness. Even in preseason this was an issue and I've noticed a strong correlation between his shots falling with how often he gets to the line

These guys talk about Walsh being unplayable against good teams like he didn’t just outrebound all our bigs and that we didn’t just see him lead the team in on/off last playoffs. And then they’ll stay dead silent on Hugo being even worse today lmao fuck out of here
Derrick PG and Payton were excellent. Bigs were meh but fine enough. Sam and Baylor were mostly good. #0 forgot basketball has 2 halves i think. Don’t see a purpose for Walsh or Garza to play in the rotation vs any serious team

Like yes he could be better offensively but it’s hard to get your game going when you sit in the corner for 90% of the possessions and get only 1 or 2 shot attempts a game

Them and Garza combined had more fouls than rebounds looool
Mitch and Queta were AWFUL today as well Pistons bigs dominated them

First time I’ve ever seen a guy who’s already WON a championship as a number 1 option be told that he’s not “the guy” 😂😂😂These fucking morons were waiting for his first bad game after tearing his Achilles to get these sort of takes off. Know your place you ringless bum
Vince Carter says Jayson Tatum might not be 'the guy', per @NBAonNBC 😬 “When you lose a guy, a scorer like Jaylen Brown, I'm not going to use the word clutch, but he was a guy when Jayson Tatum was not playing well... You can rely on that guy. And tonight we saw PG be that guy, but when they started to take away PG, take away those looks, now Jayson Tatum has that opportunity. So for me, it's who's gonna be this consistent number two? They have to stay healthy. And, but, you know, when you're in this position now, we're gonna always look at Jayson Tatum as that guy. And can he deliver? And it's unfortunate, I mean, they had a 22-point lead.”

Drummond already has twice as many the rebounds that Robinson had all game for us

I'd generally agree but he was horrible on defense and rebounding too. Disgusting performance overall and we would've won if he had an even remotely average performance
Tatum so good at everything else on the floor but the efficiency will just always be an issue man

Guy was Javonte Green's primary defender and he let him have a fucking legacy game bro

Not fouling 3 point shooters is basketball 101 and THESE FUCKING DUMBASSES CAN’T EVEN DO THAT
13
I was told Robinson brings rebounding and good defense and he hasn’t done either one of those things

Tatum you’re fucking embarrassing

Garza is the biggest gimmick player ever why the fuck is he getting serious minutes
