Okay, so where was Tatum in the 4th quarter games 1, 2, and 3 (which he didn't even play in because he got stomped out so badly)???? Not a single field goal as they went down 0-3 and you REFUSE to blame him for it rofl
I mean this guy vanished many times when they needed him most and all you do is make excuses. It's clear Tatum isn't the guy you think he is. Did he play better than Brown? Absolutely. Did he play like a superstar? Fuck no.
He needed to increase his fg's made in games 1 and 2 for sure. But he was still scoring from the FT line and making plays, and playing defense. Yes he needed to be able to score more, obviously, but he was being doubled constantly and making the correct decisions when being doubled. But yes, obviously him scoring more will help the team. He was huge all playoffs though, you're literally nit picking at 4th quarter field goal makes while ignoring everything else he did for the team.
I'm not even going to make an excuse for him game 3... the whole team was rubbish and may as well have just played our deep bench.
