Prime Lebron slows the game down to conserve energy. Jimmy out here trying to play uptempo and now he can’t breathe

Tbf, it depends or is a balance of what works for the team. Esp if pushing the tempo means Boston can't set up their defense.

LeBron, Harden, Luka all slowed the game down/walked the ball up to conserve energy to maximize their dribble dribble heliocentric offense, but by LeBron's 2nd stint in CLE (early-mid 30s... aka Butler's current age) he was subbing himself out earlier than when he was in his 20s.

No one in the league pushes off more than Tatum. Since summer league his rookie year he has been pushing off.
That's why I said at this point just make it part of his authentic go to move in the games. I feel strange watching a Celtics game without him pushing off.

It seems so blatant to. I get that Jimmy baits could but he used his shoulder, body, positioning, and feints to put defenders in precarious situations.

Tatum be stiff-arming dudes like an elite full back.

Jimmy looked about as exhausted as I've seen a player look in game 4 vs Milwaukee and he wound up dominating that 4th quarter and had 56 points
He should bounce back here
