Someone needs to talk to Tatum about late-game strategy. Clock and situation calls for a quick shot. Get a chance at an offensive rebound. Or quick foul and set up for a final possession.

Now you have a jump ball with under a second left.

Tatum is no MVP. Lets just stop calling him that.

Can this put an end to the Jayson Tatum MVP talks?

Real MVPs don't get outplayed by Dean Wade in the 4th quarter.

The search for a superstar continues.

He’s awful.

Oh look who pops up as soon as the team struggles a tiny bit


Even somebody with Joe’s nuts deeeep in their throats should be pretty stunned at such stupidity today lol

Watched enough of Tatum and Brown over 7 years to know they’re moronic at times and shoot teams back into games.

But sure pop up for your usual Joe whinge after being anonymous for weeks when we win 11 straight.

I guess that they didn't want the Cavs to get the ball back?

Exactly.

You worry about getting the lead first, if you don't score it's irrelevant if the Cavs get the ball back or not.

So much wrong with that last play. Does anyone trust this team in close games like this one? They also basically got screwed by the refs originally calling a foul.

This is why we won’t win it all this year if we don’t. But everyone please keep slobbering all over Mazzulla.

Rushing a bad shot then fouling so you can rush another bad shot probably gives you a worse shot at winning.

How bout getting the ball up faster to give yourself more time to get a good shot. Than wait and then have to go iso for low percentage crap.
