Maybe they should just train his teammates to pass the ball better.

Am I playing PG. I haven’t received a call.

Everytime I see Caris LeVert's name I remember Nets fans hyping him as the next Michael Jordan.

Very biased, cherry-picked playoff stat alert!

Since 2019-20, only one player has averaged 25+ ppg, 8+ rpg, 5+ apg, 1+ spg, and 1+ bpg in the playoffs. Put some respeck in Jayson Tatum's name.

Can Tatum have a good series for once? He shot terrible against the heat.

That happens when he tries to chuck 3’s to start games. He needs to attack inside, and take mid ranges. The 3 ball will always be there. I just don’t like the dribble dribble side step 3 he does.

Maybe JT is doing it on purpose because if he's not good, a lot of people talk about him.

But if JT plays great, nobody talks about him.

Wade, Porter Jr. and Jerome are OUT. Jarrett Allen is QUESTIONABLE for the Cavs.

Just replace KP's soleus with a solenoid.

He didn't have a bad scoring series at all. He scored 21.8 on .563 TS% against triple coverage, which is very similar to Jaylen Brown's 22.8 on .565 TS% against Tyler Herro single coverage. Just different ways to get buckets. Tatum got to the line like he's Joel Embiid combined with Jalen Brunson. He had more than double the free throws attempted as Jaylen Brown and 4 times as many made free throws.

Why comparing JT with JB? Brown, according to your opinion, is the 5th option on the team at best.

You are spot on.

But he said good series.

Maybe he's referring to the low shooting %.

Tatum did have a good series, made the right play and took on most of the defensive attention. He also played excellent defense, the most underrated part of his game.

All the best versions of this team include Tatum in the lineup, a lot of gravity. Everyone makes more shots when he's on the floor - different coaches and teammates, doesn't matter.

In the end a lot of guys will have to thank him for having their career year playing together.

Guess some just look at the stats and when they see the low shooting %, they come to a conclusion.

Even the Adv stats are not the only way to judge a performance. If a player goes out up by 9/10 points and come in with his team is up by 20 is just 'normal' for that team to relax a little bit. And then your margine can be erased a little bit.
Sometimes rotation (both teams) is a key part of the ADV stats result.
Basic plus minus is a strong example of that.
ADV STATS are not godlike. It's a good tool to use but not everything.

Or maybe the player that came in replaced the player that caused the team to go up by 10 when both were in and another 10 when the first player was out.

But his teammate brown always seems to play better than him in these big moments. If Tatum had showned up who knows maybe they have a title.

That won’t cut it. That poor shooting percentage in the long run.

Its not like he’s just facilitating more. He’s still taking shots, but at a poor percentage, hence, the low scoring. We really don’t need him to score big this season. We just need him to deliver when we have difficulties scoring. That’s what superstars do. Lets see what he does this series.
