That sequence of Curry and Bron taking turns scoring, then KD with the iso with Melo visibly cheering his ass off in the lower left corner.

:mjcry:

Melo wasn't cheering. He was telling them nikkas to give KD the ball and get the fukk out the way.

Tatums jumpshot has been off since NBA playoffs. I thought it will get better for him in Olympics but somethings off bout him. Even Kerr is not dumb enough to keep Tatum on the bench for no reason.

Yall giving melo too much credit. You can clearly see lebron directing everything to get kd the ball
And yal giving Bron too much credit because we clearly see them still running actions after KD gets the ball and KD tells everybody to get out of the way so he can cook.

Tatum at no point in his career was ever a top 5 player. Quit with the bullshyt.

Who were the 5 players that were unquestionably better than him in the regular season this past year? Name them.

Y'all be reading to respond instead of reading to comprehend. If he had no business making All-NBA 1st team this past year then tell me the guy who got left off that was unquestionably better.

Lebron should have been in over Tatum this season.


All the advanced stats had him better.

Theyre not even looking at melo. Bron looked off steph tonget kd the ball. Kd then waived off the screen. This was all instinct. Melo aint have shyt to do with it

Luka
Jokic
Embiid
SGA
Giannis

That's clearly the top 5.

Lebron
AD
Durant

I would take those players over him too.

You believe a player that put up 26/8/7 on 63.0% TS on a 47 win team was robbed of a spot over a player that produced 27/8/5 on 60.4% TS on a 64 win team?
Those same stats you posted says Lebron is better. :mjlol: the eye test also says Bron is better.

Celtics won more games because their roster is the best in the league. You surely aren't using that as an argument for Tatum? I refuse to believe that you are that slow.

I don't know if you were in a coma but Embiid miss half the season. He was not even factor for All-NBA teams

Tatum had comparable numbers to LeBron & KD while playing for a significantly better team, yes he's going to get the nod for All-NBA/MVP conversations over them.

Let's stop with the revisionist history. There was a consensus top four for All-NBA teams last year with Luka, Jokic, SGA & Giannis. The 5th spot was between Tatum & Brunson. KD, LeBron & AD were not even a factor, they were consensus 2nd team. Y'all are trying to retroactively change what the narratives were in real time

Those same stats you posted says Lebron is better. :mjlol: the eye test also says Bron is better.

According to you the Lakers have two players better than the Celtics best player, so who really has the stacked roster?
