Meh. He is giving them energy. And that that is a problem. Add to that the fact he just isn’t performing, in this series specifically, so far, he is a net negative. That doesn’t mean he still doesn’t have the ability to absolutely take over a game and be the 100% prime reason for a win, all while scoring less than 5 points.

Careful though. Keep making over the top predictions like this and @Manster7588 will be knocking you down a peg
Hey, I never made the CRAZY prediction, like you did, that the dubs would win in 7 before the series started. That was nothing but trolling.


I just predicted that the dubs would win in 7, and that both teams would steal a road game. Obviously a much more level headed take.

He's busy right now making himself a life sized statue of Tatum out of macaroni shells for the game tonight.

Using these?

So let’s unpack this a bit. A pretty large chunk of your narrative is based on your concept that Tatum outplayed Giannis in 4 out of 7 games.

But…

You use an ever changing standard for each game you claim.

Never mind the fact that Giannis averaged 33.9, 14.7 and 7.1 on 45.7% shooting

Compared to Tatum’s 27.6, 6.3, and 5.4 on 42.9% shooting.

Sorry, but that isn’t even close.

And if you want to talk about Butler, the reason his lows were so low was because he left game 3 with an injury at halftime, he clearly shouldn’t have even suited up for game 4, and he probably shouldn’t have played game 5 either.

It is one thing to use stats to paint the picture you want them to tell, but you are flat lying if you claim Tatum outplayed Giannis.

Just not even close to being true.
Giannis was terrible in the losses. He had around 48% TS in the games bucks lost. Tatum outplayed him majority of series.

When butler plays like shit in game 4 and game 5. When butler leaves the game in game 3. I'm taking all that into account. It's still apart of the series.

The key for the celtics is just too limit turnovers. It really is that simple. They are the best team in the NBA. When they don't turn the ball over, nobody is beating them. They can only beat themselves. So please smart no sloppy turnovers.

Curry is also due for a bad shooting game one of these days. And Tatum is due to go off this series.

if you are trying to make Curry look good by invoking Dellavadova- you are not making the point you are trying to make. lol

Delly did a great job of making Curry look bad in Game 3, which is probably one of the reasons Curry didn't win Finals MVP. I take the position that Game 3 shouldn't be held against Curry since he eventually got rid of Delly anyway by tiring him out to the point that Delly needed to be hospitalized. That's why it's like a boxer losing early rounds but still showing he's the champ at the end.

There really shouldn't be much debate on who was more valuable between Curry and Iguodala, but unfortunately the 11 media voters screwed it up. It's understandable, though. Those people get hooked on narratives and they probably only took a minute to think before they voted.

Just stop your nonsense.

Tatum isn't on the same level as Giannis.
