Jayson Tatum gave me depression again

[knickscrusaderm]

These nikkas be fans of Kobe but don’t understand he was lethal as fukk driving to the basket when he was young.

Stop working on your fadeaway and perfect your handle/drive

Book and Tatum couldn’t play like Kobe even if they wanted to because Kobe at the same age was so much more dynamic and explosive. Ironically Jaylen Brown actually does has the athletic ability to play that way

 

[Derek Lee]

Carmelo would be proud of those brickhouses that Tatum's building

 

[livindajetlife]

I ain’t go lie I hate this nikka too .. this whole playoffs run exposed him to me ..

 

[MicIsGod]

His lack of aggression is strange sometimes.

 

[T.he I.nformant]

Wiggins got him in jail

Ever since I saw that text he sent to Kobe I knew something was off

 

[bl2k8]

Book trying to play like Bean makes more sense than Tatum doing it,
but it’s hard to shake the influence from your favorite player

 

[YakSpiller]

His chips are good.

Too bad Jaylen dribbles like he took 10 shots of 1942 before the game

He's extremely frustrating to watch. It's the finals not a regular season game in January, and he's still crying to the fukken refs after every missed shot. JUST MAKE SHOTS YOU p*ssy. How many layups has he missed, complains, doesn't hustle back, and the Warriors get a wide open look? Another problem is that he's all limbs. He doesn't know how to use his hip, butt, or his lower back to create space in the post or on drives. He'll drive and either push off with his off hand, or he will extend his arms leaving the ball open to be stripped while he expects the refs to bail him out like he's Harden a couple years ago. He's been missing free throws anyway though. How you gonna cry for fouls and shoot 72% from the line?

He's got a guy in Pierce who he can learn from who was not fast or explosive, but who had a good first step and nudged defenders where he wanted them to go so he can get a shot off. Luka is very good at doing that now. Instead Jay is waisting his time with some damn 5'10 "shooting guru" who doesn't know shyt about playing in the post or being physical.

C'mon Man. 33% shooting in an NBA finals? I know Kobe was his hero, but Kobe was actually mean, aggressive, and played with force. Please Jay just impose your will on this series

Great point people always forget..Kobe was a freak athlete. Tatum and Book are good athletes it’s a difference.

 

[CHICAGO]

Jayson wants to play like Kobe instead of playing like Paul Pierce

HE PLAYS NOTHING LIKE KOBE.

HE PLAYS LIKE PG.

Current PG and a worse version of it. Prime PG was a different animal

 

[GoldenGlove]

does he ever fukking drive

Does he ever not end up siding 10 feet on the ground after he drives? nikka falls after every layup attempt.

 

[GoldenGlove]

Tatum is also very horrific off the ball. He just likes to stay at the top of the key and dance on the perimeter

Just imagine a 6'8 220 lb + forward playing off the ball. All the easy buckets he could get cutting to the basket, the post up opportunities, and the fouls he can draw on the opposing team

Mind boggling

Is this why Ime has him initiate the offense as much as he does? That's gotta be the next evolution to his game. He has too much size to be relying on running point to get going offensively
