Tatum had a fine playoff run, excluding game 7 where he was clearly injured, he was comfortably the best player in each of his series he played in. Yeah he shot like shit, and he will improve on that, but his all round game was amazing. Passing, defending, rebounding. He needed more help and he didn’t get it.
A 25-year-old "superstar" (Tatum) tweaks his ankle then scores a grand total of 14 points for the game in a Game 7 Conference Finals. As they lose to the 8th seed. You guys quietly give him a pass.
A 20-year aging superstar (LeBron) tweaks his ankle after already playing on a bad foot scores 40 points in a Conference Finals. As they lose to the #1 Seed. People say he didn't do enough.
Just keep the same energy across the board. The homering is crazy.
Tatum came up SMALL in the 4th quarter in most games. Man scored a total of 8 field goals in the 4th quarter in 7 games, and 5 of them came in one game that was already a 20+ blowout 😂

Tatum scored 51 against Philly in Game 7 elimination
Its not Tatums fault Philly can't make the ECF otherwise that 51 pter would changes your stat line argument :rofl:
Bro if his biggest accomplishment is beating the Sixers in the second round then I don't need to argue anymore. My point is proven lmao.
Tatum and the Celtics are EXACTLY who we thought they were. Inconsistent, too reliant on threes, and simply not killers. Yeah, they can barely beat a 76ers team that they match up with better than anyone else and who never even get out of the second round anyway. Now the Celtics are throwing a parade for that? Fuck, Kimmy told me the 76ers arent a contender and weren't a threat anyway soo...
Celtics were down 2-3 to the 76ers and down 0-3 to the Heat the following round. They're lucky they made it as far as they did. They're not the unstoppable force that Celtics homers talked them up to be all season long. All their issues in the regular season came front and center when it mattered most.
