7 shots for Tatum and like 3 of them were essentially late clock heaves.

Why on earth isn’t he attacking the defence

Because it doesn't matter. He'll step up if he has to, he knows his role right now as a leader is to let everybody else get involved earlier on so they're not cold when it matters.

No idea why people are blaming Tatum. Brown had it going so he deferred. The finger pointing needs to be towards Porzingis who is being abused by Vucevic.

Plus the Celtics always struggle in the United Center no matter who is on the roster of both teams.

Nothing steams my Ham more than an offensive rebound to the other team leads to an uncontested 3 pointer

Tatum can’t really dominate a game. He’s more of a chuckster On offense

Jaylen making amends for that sloppy turnover with that chasedown block is my favourite play of the gb.

With a good FG% secured, Jaylen's gonna do everything in his power to avoid shooting anything but the easiest shots for the rest of the game. Including turning it over instead of taking open shots.

Lol. It’s good he’s deferring coz he don’t have it this game. Also, first game back since he said he’s the best player and face of the league. Got to back it up! He still can though.
