He's a good regular season minutes eater. I'll give him that.

I wouldn’t say Tatum ‘dont got the dog’ in him. I think he just needs to work on his off the dribble game he needs to be able to hold his dribble in traffic and learn how to play/finish through traffic he doesn’t know how to play through contact sometimes like JB or he needs to shift his mindset to drive more instead of settling which i do think he kind of needs to do especially in the playoffs. Tatum needs to get into the lab and learn different gathers when driving to the rim instead of forcing up rushed panicked shots which he does in contact a lot. Gotta learn how to play with contact and through contact thats what the best scorers in the league do.

I like JA, think he is a good player and a good person as far as im aware. It sucks he is out, but it offsets Zinger being out a little

We've been waiting for the day that the Cs are not a 2-man team anymore.

It has arrived.

The Boston Celtics can now win with multiple players playing great.

This is not just Batman and Robin anymore.

He is more than that, but I agree more playoff consistency would be good. He had a few games against Heat where he really opened up the game.

This is a playoff game without KP and Joe used 9 guys.

JT shooting poorly and the Cs still win by 25.

So much for Donovan Mitchell keeping the Cavs afloat.

This is true.

Just let it play out.

Sam is like a robot, but there will be times where he will not get open because the opposing team won't leave him open.

Meh cavs stink. If the C’s can’t get to the finals this year people need to be fired. I am worry about Tatum though. They’re not winning a ship if this guy doesn’t step it up.

It's just a case of you worry too much.

If JT is not worried, why should we be worried?
