The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

Vibes just different when the team isn't forced to run sets like it's a Sixers game 🤔

You bout to get a PM like EYE did pleighboi

USA B-team would be getting worked by this Serbian squad

A-team withstood a great start from them and now they're separating even though Serbia are playing really well themselves :lol:
 
imo with fiba is the tighter spacing exposes, who is really has feel for the game and who doesn't.

a guy like Tatum for example is a good passer in the NBA, where there is tons of spacing and the reads are obvious.
but you put in FIBA and its tougher for him.
Tatum was really good in the last Olympics. 2nd leading scorer on 49% shooting. He’s been perfectly fine in this setting.

If his jumper isn’t falling though this go round for whatever reason, he probably shouldn’t play much. Especially since Kerr is sticking him in the corner instead of giving him the Bron role as creator off bench.

good point. i his passing is most impacted by the tighter spacing.
but if his jumpshot is working, the defense and size still makes him valuable.
