In fairness he said last time he played. Tatum got 19 points but also took 20 shots to get there (went 7-20) and 2-8 from 3. That’s an inefficient 19 points. If we make him shoot 20 times to get 19 points that’s good. However like your stats show the previous 9 games are not as encouraging outside of a game where he went 12-6-3.

I think you put tucker on him. in 13 career games tatum is averaging 17.6-7.6-4.2 vs. tucker. However he’s also shooting 39.9% and 24% from 3band 2.2 TOs

Tucker was +21 and +14 in those last 2 games.

He also hit some clutch threes. I don’t think they can win this series if he’s averaging 3 points. He’s gonna need to be closer to 6 or more. I’m guessing Celtics are gonna dare him too

This is probably the only way you make that work, and it's a wash......   Unless they can sign a good 3 and D wing or Stretch 4 with the Harden money if he doesn't come back.

 

Honestly?   I think Maxey can become Lillard at this point.....

Yeah not willing to deal maxey in that deal. I think you have to try to get a 3 way deal with tobias as an expiring contract, include whatever picks we can and use harden as part of it going back to the rockets. Even then i don’t see the sixers being able to get it done.

Not trading him for Lillard at this point in their careers.

Lillard was better than Aldridge in his 3rd year in the league. Maxey doesn't have to be the man with Embiid and some of Harden taking the attention. 

I wouldn't make the trade though. 

Donovan Mitchell is a better comp for his ceiling. 

Basically LCL really affects his rotational power and it can get worse.

extremely rare to have an isolated LCL injury. Would bet he has some kind of offseason surgery, if he even makes it till then.

Jimmy was on a heater 

Jimmy Buckets is possessed right now

Sickening to know that we had that dude on our team and let him go 

Butler as the #1 option is not a championship team.

The list of true #1 in the league is tiny: Giannis, LeBron, Steph, KD, Tatum, Kawhi (if healthy)

Jimmy

Potential to be 

Jokic, Embiid, Booker, Luka, Ja, SGA, Ant (maybe), Paolo, Wemby

Playoff Butler belongs on that list. This Heat team is bad with Herro, who is hurt, and Bam, who can't get anything over Brook. Made to the Finals in 2020 with a rookie Herro and Dragic going crazy in the bubble. 

Last year, Butler was a missed 3 from carrying that team to the finals scoring 47 and 35 in Games 6 and 7. He does everything you ask for a number one dude to do, his supporting casts have been not great to bad, and yet during playoffs he will carry a team. Giannis still may have something about the Heat going home, but doesn't diminish what he doss. 

 

Too bad the NBA doesn't re-seed lol

 

Saw this movie so many times already.  When will Netflix remove it from their on-demand schedule?  

looks like another year of watching round 2 like this:  

Even with a fully healthy Embiid they weren't beating Boston anyway 

 

 

 

Didn't Embiid have the same injury a couple years back?
