blowing a 20 point lead is a one time fluke. blowing a 20 point lead a second time is a sign of bad things to come....

Not arguing your point but how do you determine this. Maybe he's just struggling this series. He's one of those guys that foe whatever reason, people love to shyt on. personally I don't get it. He locks up defensively, a good playmaker, and seems like a good teammate.You’d never see Melo run into any of these problems offensively
Granted he ain’t locking no one up but a team like Boston fits his play style perfectly
I still think Tatum is good it’s just he’s extremely soft mentally and that’s why he having these brain farts and confidence issues. He not a dog like that despite being 6’9 and damn near 230 now - almost same size as Melo during his playing days
He has the mid range shot but he doesn’t play in the post, doesn’t drive, shoots a suspect middy now and settles for wayyy too many 3s. He didn’t always play like this though so it’s shocking to see. Kinda reminds me of Vince when he fell in love with the 3 during the end of his Raptor tenure and beginning with the Nets. But even Vince would still attack the rim and was a lethal mid range shooter
I dunno about bringing up someone like Melo lol bc that's just a pandora's box.
But ultimately, other star players and even role players have improved their games and their shot selection/decision making over the years to address their weaknesses. Obviously not always the case, and that's where Tatum seems to fall under. Still doin the same shyt from 2, 3, 4 years ago. We see ppl tryna make it an Ime vs Mazzulla thing, or an analytics thing, or for the longest a JT vs JB thing, but nah how about that muthafukka #0 just improve his game or his mental psyche and be consistent?
And if he simply can't and we just "accept him as he is"... cool, in that case ppl shouldn't be too harsh on him nor give him the prime Westbrook/Harden treatment when he underperforms (so lowered expectations for greatness), but he also shouldn't be gassed up over other current stars just bc Boston wins. Since obviously Boston can still win this series, even if JT continues to play like LAC George Paul.

We keep expecting tatum to be something he doesnt want to be. We got to let it go. Hes a 6'10 Paul George. I think nick wright or broussard said it best "Jason Tatum is the Kobe Bryant of a Paul George tier player."
