Only a casual would look at the box score and think that. 13 assists and leading your team in minutes is still huge.

Tatum's on/off is also over 11+ these playoffs, he has been dominant
Tatum is the sweat on LeBron's balls after a 42 minute night in an arena with broken air conditioning and if he was wearing leather pants instead of basketball shorts.

I think it was a mix of the Celtics playing well, but the Warriors also missed defensive assignment and rotations. Draymond was slow on rotations to Horford on all of his threes. Otto had his head completely turned around and let a defender get behind him for an open corner three. Just things that can be prevented. I think the Warriors were so centrally focused on Tatum and Brown that they kept collapsing. The Celtics burned them where the Mavs did not. Only problem is that the Celtics are a much, much better defensive team, so it's harder for the Warriors to keep pace with a flurry against them.
I think part of it is that the Warriors ridiculously easy path to the Finals did not prepare them.

They should be better prepared in Game 2.

The path to the Finals for the Warriors was one of the all time easiest in the history of the NBA.

Its not even like this is a great team they are playing- but they are actually a good playoff team- which they havent played yet.

Dude, I swear I thought the same thing yesterday.

Someone is having fun at our expense.

This has to be a gag.
Yeah it had a familiar vibe early on to me

It really got suspicious when he said that Tatum could hit a step back 3 and Bird never did that. Everyone knows Bird was the king of step backs.
Kind of wish we'd have gotten to see Bird play at a time when the 3 was so prevalent.

It would have been something to see that’s for sure
