Jayson Tatum Bullied Kawhi Leonard tonight.

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Shai and Gallo would have been perfect for this team. Perfect complimentary pieces while allowing Kahwi to flourish.

Gallo has the EXACT same injury history as Paul George lol

 

[Miggs]

Kawhi has games like this where he doesn't even touch the ball when he needs too. I wonder why that is.

He doesnt care about the regular season like that

I saw games like this last year.

 

[Legalese]

Kawhi is not playing real defense in a game before the All Star break.

Ask Giannis what Kawhi real defense looks like.
Also Clippers dont have a rim protector so even if Kawhi does his part they're fukked.

 

[Steezy]

i pray cam reddish can do this one day

 

[Bigblackted4]

Y’all don’t get to say this when y’all probably in that Kuzma>Tatum thread going in on him

 

[WhoShotCha]

You dudes dont rest. The other day it was "Zion ripped the ball out of Giannis hand, so Giannis is overrated and the Bucks have no chance to win anything". Wonder what you losers will come up with tomorrow

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

It's all good. Some of this was on Doc. He should have put Zu in the game when the Celtics didn't have a center and ran the Kawhi/Zu pick n roll which would've freed up some looks for Kawhi plus it wouldve added some rim protection on the defensive end. Trez was out of gas. Doc is still stubborn

 

[Remote]

On Both ends of the Floor.

Great defense by Tatum here. But that shot could have gone in, at which point you just shrug and give both players their due.

The Tatum bucket on the other end wasn't impressive. Kawhi was slow to get back on Tatum and the help never came once Tatum went to the basket. In any case, a good move by Tatum. But it wasn't some "OMG he is special" type shyt.

More than anything it was just a good game for Tatum and a bad game for Kawhi.

The game before this when Tatum went for 15 points on 5 of 15 shooting in a loss to the Rockets, this hype machine was nowhere to be found.

The NBA lives on the Hot Take Mentality

 

[killacal]

Boston called a pick everytime to force the switch lol.

There's that play of Tatum scoring after KL is caught inbetween Kemba and Tatum (waiting for Shamet to recover from being picked by Tatum). Kemba shuffled it to Tatum who immediately drove before KL could recover.

Another play Trez's man picked KL but Trez had sagged back, so Tatum immediately attacked Trez (with Kawhi trailing) and J'd Trez.

Hoe ass non hooping nikkas will ignore this

If he's not coming at his defender 1on1 then what's this thread about

Team schemes under the guise of individual play

 

[Diondon]

So we not gon wait for playoffs for the hot takes, huh?

again with this kawhi stopped giannis nonsense

giannis was stopped because nick nurse adjusted his plan after the 2 losses and put serge ibaka and marc gasol on him...like the twin towers
gimp didn't really affect anything

 

[Jerz]

[HabitualChiller]

So we not gon wait for playoffs for the hot takes, huh?

So Giannis didn’t miss easy bunnies repeatedly at the rim being contested by Kawhi as well?
