Naw we clowned and called out a 24 year old Tatum in 2022 during the finals where he choked.

I don't even like Tatum but no one was giving him the age excuse.

That's true I'm just saying that if Ant don't see much playoff success over the next couple of years the birds are gonna chirp a lot louder.

Regardless, anyone putting Ant over Tatum currently was not paying attention. Tatum just secured another First Team All-NBA and it was a unanimous vote. It's not a mistake. Tatum is at worst a top 5 player in the league.

4 points and 2 shots at halftime is wild. Losin a game at home when ya bench gave ya 64 points is inexcusable for a superstar. Has that ever been done before? This why the Ant top 5, next American MVP talks too much he have nights like this too often where he don't do shyt.

He gotta work on his conditioning. Dude be gassed by the 2nd quarter and reasonably so, considering his playstyle. He gets mad air with his jumpshots and as a result tires him tf out. He is a great shooter, and OKC denied tf outta him from tipoff. I made a mental note of his arms at the start of the game pause. They didn’t have the definition in them like he usually does, that lets me know he probably didn’t take advantage of being home & slacked off lifting weights & getting shots up. Probably up all night on COD or some shyt. I don’t know but at the end of the day he is 23 years old and has his fair share of pain to experience. Tatum sure as hell did at his age and he’s 26 with a championship. Ant is right on track in that regards, he’ll learn from all of this.

There's only been one day's rest between each game of this series, you just yapping with this. Ain't nothing that lifting weights will do during this series that'll be of any benefit to him, if anything, it'll potentially be detrimental because his arms won't have enough time to rest. This some Swagnifiicent p*ssy eyes type analysis.

Doesn’t matter if it’s only one day in between games. He’s at home and has all of his normal amenities and routines available to him. He looked deflated and had a lack of energy compared to game 3. It’s called an observation & an opinion, you don’t have to agree with me cac.

Yes, the amount of days between games does matter because that's when players rest. They're not robots.

If he's looking deflated and lacking energy to you, then there's not a cotdamn thing that lifting weights [for his arms] during the one rest day will do to improve that. If he's looking like that it means he's tired from the playoffs and further exhausting himself by lifting weights isn't going to do anything other then put himself at more of a deficit. Or are you going to tell me he was lifting weights between Game 2 and Game 3 (in the midst of traveling back home) and that's the reason why you think he had all this energy for Game 3?

He's gassed because it's the playoffs. Everyone is. Especially someone like him who has to shoulder the load offensively for his team.

Nobody is lifting weights like that during a series. They'll no doubt get some conditioning/maintenance work in if there's enough of a break between series', but not during. If you believe that, you better go and tell Denver the real reason why they had no gas left was because they weren't lifting weights during the off-days of playing 14 high intensity playoff games in 28 days.

Big Screech you’re a dweeb but I have to co-sign this.

This nikka said he lost arm definition in 31 hours. ESPN Sports Science is not calling you Nimrods :mjlol: :dead:
