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

Just say you don’t like him.

Guy has set all sorts of playoff records since entering the league on both sides of the ball.

Has also had to deal with tons of coaching and roster turnover at the same time.
Good things he’s had brad stephens in his life

 
Tatum isn't better than Bron or KD in FIBA for this team in a three week sprint and Bam playing PF is eating into possible minutes. If Booker is making his catch and shoot threes and playing tough defense like today, the minutes will be even harder to come by.

Don't think Kerr will DNP him the rest of the way, but I think Kerr *could* get away with it.
 
He’s like one of the easiest guys to fit in a lineup/build around in the league. Guards 4-5 positions, rebounds, can do everything on offense. Could play him at any position.

Theres definitely minutes. Especially when you’re playing Embiid who doesn’t fit anything the team is trying to do on either end.

If he’s not shooting open jumpers then what is he giving us.

He needs to fit IN instead fitting OUT
 
Steve scored 11 pts, like the 6th most on the team.

Why y’all acting like y’all ain’t seen him do that turn around **** after a 3 before?

Cause he did it against some gleague quality players in europe with a 20 pt lead in a round robin?

I know him and Book dont play the same position but thought Book played a little too much today, though I know he was hot for a bit. I think he played 24 min, Bron player 26? If they played a little less theres Tatum’s minutes right there.

Honestly though, its a shorter game and you have a full roster of dudes who average 30-35 min a game and over 35 in the playoffs. Some dudes are bound to not play, if you dont wanna hurt feelings youre just subbing dudes in and out for the sake of playing time instead of getting guys in rhythm, etc.
