I like the move, but expect MM on the floor at the end.

Don't know i missed part of the second half also freezing up tomorrw install a in line amp. I don't think he gets the get the touches this have been bothering me all of the second half of the season. Hoping to some other opinions on this i'm clueless as to why. 20 year olds don't wear down in the second half. Help us out here Peaty or Boss. Pud. I just think Tatum is a microcosm of this team and their tendency to take their foot off the gas when they think they've done something. He's young and doesn't realize that, in this game, bad things happen when you "let up". It happens all the time......Celtics play Celtics basketball for a half or 3 quarters and build a huge lead. Then they let up and allow teams to come back (see Lakers, Clippers, Nuggets, Charlotte, Cleveland). Sometimes you can hold off a less than elite team but other times, you cannot and you get beat. Tatum missed a couple bunny layups last night too - one McHale "up and under" and another a pure bunny at the rim. For some reason, he just loses that focus. Honestly, how much time did Tatum spend with Kobe over last offseason? Was it just a couple hours because it must have been all spent on that inconsistent step back. Tatum should have spent the entire time talking about MENTALITY because his is pretty weak. Seventeen shots in the first half and then you just stop shooting in the second? I don't get it. I said a while back that Kobe is sabotaging us. Remember his advice to Tatum was: "shoot every time you touch the ball." Now, Tatums #1 problem is shot selection. He takes that step-back difficult two way too often. Hopefully, he breaks out of his recent funk soon. |

The only issue I had with KI's comments is that he said them publicly. But get this straight, his comments were CORRECT. This team IS IMMATURE. And this team is OVER-HYPED. Honestly, Tatum, Brown and Rozier have done NOTHING to warrant their hype. Rozier is on drugs if he thinks he's a starting NBA PG. He has no offensive facilitating skills whatsoever. Cannot effectively run an offense to save his life. Let's not forget, the Celtics went 11 wins and 8 losses in the playoffs last year winning ONLY one road game against seriously FLAWED teams in Milwaukee, Philly and Cleveland. And that immaturity was on display in game 7 of the ECF. The Celtics would have gotten swept just like Cleveland had they gotten to the Finals. KI is young himself so I consider him still learning to be a leader. This is really his first opportunity at being a leader but when you have upstart younger players who you cannot tell anything to because they got to the ECF last year, being a leader becomes more of a challenge. And with all the hype surrounding Tatum, Brown and Rozier, each of their games has regressed a lot. Agreed. When fan favorite young players regress, people tend to look for other places to blame. Me? I blame Tatum, Brown, and Rozier for their struggles. KI isnt the reason Tatum takes awful twos and lost his touch from 3. Although, Kobe may be partly responsible (see my earlier post). |
