Hey don't make me remind you why Tatum's better than Steph.

Dude...I already know why.

 

[Manster7588]

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.

Some of us readily admit at this point Giannis is better than Tatum, and Butler was the best player in their series.

Maybe because they both had to do more do to less talent on thier side, but you have to be a blind homer to say Tatum out played them.

I recall another poster saying this lately...

Never mind they’re on 26 lol

Literally no idea what this means

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.

You are out of your mind.

If Giannis was so “terrible” and if Tatum outplayed him, than why were Giannis’ numbers so vastly superior?

And you can’t use the defensive impact either, because Giannis unarguably has a greater defensive impact than Tatum.

Giannis is such a monster. I don't know how anyone could argue otherwise. Craziness.

Boston needs to continue to make Curry work very hard on both ends of the floor.
He's a great player but he struggles in the 4th qtr when he has to work hard all game on defense.

He had some really high highs but his lows were really low as well.

Game 1 - 40% TS

Game 2 - 45% TS

Game 4 - 46% TS

Game 7 - 44% TS

That's an average of 43-44% TS which is downright terrible. You can't play like shit like that for more then half the series, lose the series and then claim best player in the series. Especially when one of those terrible games happened in a game 7

Not just defense, unlike a Harden or Luka type who walks the ball up and surveys the half court before deciding to move fast, Curry is running around off screens all game long. He does get tired in the 4th quarter especially at this stage in his career. Might be too much to ask.

Steph's always moving. Wonder what the distance is he covers in one of his average games?

He runs a lot but he's not even top 15 in the league (mainly because in the regular season they try to limit his minutes a bit)

Fred VanVleet leads NBA in miles run per game for second-straight year

The NBA uses player-tracking technology to find out interesting info like a player's total distance traveled, average speed and more.

Only reason Tatum’s was better was free throws.

And it wasn’t better by enough to make up for the huge gap in production.

And by the way, Giannis is way better than Tatum is TS for his career despite being a poor feee throw shooter.

No, but I do enjoy destroying the fools on here.

One of my favorite things to do in SportsHoopla.

 

[Shanemansj13]

25, 20 and 9 and that is Giannis’ low? I WILL TAKE IT

While Tatum is being carried by Grant fucking Williams and Payton Prickhard

I guess TS% is the tell all end to this debate. Lets go look at Tatum’s FG% this series…33% - the lowest on the team. Nope…he is the greatest ALIVE

Me too but I realized early on that with this one it's hitting a wall. You're correct in your posts but it has no impact.

That's part of what makes this new guy a terrible poster. Tons of hypocrisy.

But this is like taking candy from a baby. Too easy, fun at first but it gets boring

At least the players aren't running all the time, as reflected by the average speeds listed in the article. The fastest average speed is 4.69 mph.
