I'm sure there's posts here pre-draft where I wasn't sold on his game that looked like cosplay iso Melo. He's far more athletic and good off the dribble than I thought.
By unknown Go To PostStern will force game 7, dont sleep on Stern in a game 7.
FTFY
Celtics didn't win this as much as Cavs lost it. I don't know why but Bron looked cooked early, was loafing on D and wasn't hustling like before. Other guys never picked it up.
By pilonv1 Go To PostI thought Tatum would be Tobias Harris ok eventually, not this good so quick
Things said by Duke fans in the middle of Tatum's freshman year (on that other forum):
"Tatum actually is what everyone thinks Austin Rivers is"
"Hey UK fans, care to trade Tatum AND Kennard for ONE of your Briscoe, Monk or Fox?
Edit: Add to the package Allen + Giles too."
"Tatum is the ultimate me player. He's a net negative."
"Tatum is garbage tier"
"He's worse than Austin Rivers. Check that, he's worse than Austin Rivers' reputation. He is a total me player thats simply auditioning for the NBA. I don't think Kennard is much better to be honest. This team cannot support 3 jack em joes in Allen, Kennard and Tatum. Good thing is two of them should be gone after this season."
"Tatum only cares about himself and Jackson isn't a point. "
"That being said, if I'm K Tatum doesn't see the floor for a long long long time."
"To be brutally honest, this team would be better if Allen and Tatum were no longer on it."
"He brings nothing to the team, they were better when he was injured. Overall he makes the team worse."
"I'm expecting some guys to get kicked off the team when K returns, definitely Tatum, and possibly Allen and Bolden."
"Tatum's not nearly the player Ingram was."
^^^
And that was just on a page and a half!
...one month later....
"I'm glad no one listened to us when we wanted Tatum gone a few weeks ago."
By friskykillface Go To PostAinge is one win away 👀
Just don’t play shook
Luckily, they don't have Dwane Casey as coach.
Terminator LeBron in game 6 but he goes out unceremoniously in game 7. I still have warriors in 6 but they gotta stop playing stupid.
I thought Tatum was going to be a tweener unable to create his own shot and might max out as a rotation player on a good team. Guess I was wrong.

you're not alone
Tatum is 40 pts away from having the most playoff points for a rookie in the history of basketball.
I mean Kareem did it in like half as many games but still.

By Randolph Freelander Go To PostHe meant Meyers Leonard.You and reilo have to be the only people that think of Meyers when "Leonard" is said, and that includes Meyers' teammates and friends.
Congrats, reilo.

They look at him like "Why is your last name your first name, and your first name your last name?"

By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostTelling reporters why you actually made a decision is like rookie coach mistake #1.
Dudes out here like "well I guess Stevens should bench Morris in game 6".
Goodbye mario
Tatum is good, but Jaylen shouldn't have been this good either. Stevens is just very good.

Celtics will be able to play some stupid lineups next year
rozier, irving, brown, tatum, hayward.
All 5 shoot, pass, dribble, finish, several can post.

By unknown Go To Postsomething tells me bron didnt really want to win…
this is a real dumb take tbh
he doesn't have the squad to decide when to win and not to win
It's going to be tough for Cleveland to win in Boston. It just hasn't been close there. They should get to a game 7 though.
Do NBA rims have secret expanding capabilities? I don’t see how the NBA could do anything to make sure the Cavs win without making the rim wider for Cavs players. The only other option is calling a foul every time LeBron has the ball but do you really want to be that blatant? this isn’t the early 00s Lakers, you can’t be that blatant anymore.

By RobNBanks Go To PostDo NBA rims have secret expanding capabilities?There have been multiple occasions where I have actually wondered about this.
By AlphaSnacks Go To PostI still say Cavs win. I just don't see the NBA letting it happen. Call me a cynic.The game would have to be close for that to even have a chance to happen.
By unknown Go To PostThe game would have to be close for that to even have a chance to happen.Didn't the Rockets shoot a billion foul shots in their last game? They can put everybody to the line when they want. Not saying this is happening or will happen, but they can just decide to call everything and not make Lebron the obvious focal point.
I think Lebron needs a break.
he has to carry trashbois on his back too much.
I'm not even a Cavs fan and yet their role players piss me off. Almost makes me respect Marco now.
