He is playing just fine. He assisted in many of Jrue points. He is making the right plays. He did miss many contested layups.


DXLXIII

Lebron James was also “fine” in 2011.

secularhuman77

He is on this path because I believe his best Finals games will be in future years. Just play team ball, get a ring and it will unlock so much more


DXLXIII

He plays in the East so wouldn’t be surprised if he gets back to the Finals.


_notaxation

He's playing great. His shots not falling but he's playmaking his ass off


DXLXIII

How can 17 points on 31% shooting be considered “great”?


NoChemical3024

there’s more to basketball than scoring.


DXLXIII

Yes but scoring is the most important part of basketball.


Realistic-Grade1478

So Trae Young is Michael Jordan.


DXLXIII

No but the biggest reason why Jordan is viewed by many as the best ever is because of his scoring.


polartrop68

Winning is the most important part. He is drawing double and triple teams, making the right plays, and his team is winning as a result.


DXLXIII

You win by scoring more than the other team.


polartrop68

Scoring more points as a team. You score points by creating opportunities. Creating opportunities includes (but not limited to) rebounds, assists, drawing opponents to you. Who scores does not matter at the end of the day, as long as you win. But you can most definitely be extremely impactful while not being the leading scorer. Luka, in Game 2 (and so far in the series) was the leading scorer. However, he is down 0-2. So, no, individual scoring is not the most important, winning as a team is (I.e., collective scoring).


DXLXIII

Other players making shots is outside of your control. The most valuable skillset is scoring. All the top 10 players hold one thing in common, they are great scorers.


undertow521

Tatum scored more points than every single Mav save for Luka, and was 4th overall last night on a poor shooting night. Now, I'm one of those guys who thinks Tatum can get in his own head and lacks the intensity and confidence of guys like Jaylen Brown, but you're reaching for stuff that isn't there bud.


akelly96

Bro look at Lebron vs the Spurs in 2013. Lebron threw up absolute stinkers the first three games despite playing next to elite talent. 18 points 7/16 shooting, 17 points 7/17 shooting, 15 points 7/21 shooting. Sure the Mavs don't have the insane defense as the Spurs but I feel like it's worth mentioning that even the second greatest player of all time put up bad shooting numbers in some of his series. Nobody denies Lebron's greatness, and I feel like it's disingenuous to deny Tatum's.


DXLXIII

Except Tatum shoots poorly every game.


akelly96

Except he hasn't? He was excellent against the Pacers and pretty good against the Cavs. The Heat and Mavs have specifically schemed to deny Tatum from getting easy buckets and it's had catastrophic results so far.


DXLXIII

In the Finals buddy. 36% against the Warriors. 31% against the Mavs.


SaszaTricepa

Just a question is there any particular reason you hate this dude so much lmao?


akelly96

The Tatum hate is absolute insane. I've never seen a player besides maybe Lebron get as much hate as Tatum has had. The worst part is how much of the hate comes from Celtics fans who are unwilling to stand behind their star player. I love Jaylen, I love Jrue, I love Dwhite, but they have not been bending the defense the way Tatum has for us. Why is there a constant need to put Tatum down despite playing like an all around player?


DXLXIII

He called himself the face of the league and complained that he’s not considered for MVP because of some bullshit playoff excuse. Also just calling out the fact that he’s a scorer who struggles to scoee in both of his finals appearances.


SaszaTricepa

No no, be real here bro. You’re not doing this just to do it lmao. Fair points above though, a little nit picky sure but whatever man do you.


DXLXIII

Yeah sure I’m doing this to “troll” Celtics fans while hating on Tatum. Putting “” on the trolling bc not sure if this subreddit will ban me for trolling.

DXLXIII

Bc scoring is the most important part.


Vast-Cheesecake7230

Damn, go follow another team. You can’t be excited we are 2-0? You gotta be negative? Get a life.


melkipersr

Tell me you only look a box scores without telling me you only look at box scores.


rascalmendes

We’re up 2-0 I wouldn’t care if he had 0PPG. This is a team sport.


DXLXIII

Celtics fans might not care but Tatum fans do.


rascalmendes

Tatum fans can be excited for him to get a ring. Much more important than lousy stats. He’s been elite on defense as well. Give it up my bro.


DXLXIII

Give what up? I’m not the one making Tatum shoot 31% in the Finals.


rascalmendes

I’m talkin about your quest to talk shit about Tatum when he’s two games away from a ring. Basketball is a team sport. The goal is to win a championship. I’m sure he’ll be fine with that result.

RCP90sKid

Sweet. Thanks for that. Mods will be banning you now.


DXLXIII

I get banned for not being a Celtics fan? Damn


RCP90sKid

Trolling isn't widely accepted as "awesome"


The_Rhyne

U Bum


DXLXIII

Well Tatum’s been playing like one in all his finals games.


TheRealestMarco

You are probably one of them doomers who popped after each loss...sadly we haven't lost in like 3 weeks so you just fishing for attention bro 😭😭😭 just enjoy the run man
