Ok let me rephrase.

Tatum is soft af. When he realizes hes 6’9 maybe he can take that step. Offensively, Luka is clearly head and shoulders better than Tatum.

So in other words he doesn't play you want him to play, therefore Luka's better despite the stats and accolades saying otherwise? Ngl that's a very convincing argument brother. My mind has been changed.

 

[Kierris]

The reality is luka went up against the best defenses and is still putting up numbers

The reality is Tatum is going up against the most injury riddled path in a long time

Is that enough reality

They're putting up the same numbers... The numbers are being deemed great for one and underwhelming for the other.. if Tatum is putting up these numbers and people feel they aren't good what does that say?

 

[Kierris]

I digress though fellas, I was just speaking to the lazy narratives. Enjoy your memorial evening

I hope Tatum and Luka guard each other next round

What accolades Tatum got? Hes playing in a weaker Eastern conference and averaging similar stats? Lord this vs the Nuggets superteam idk which is worse.

Rest in peace Bill Walton.

Tatum hate is wild to me. He’s done a lot. He plays a style that wins in the playoffs. He’s going to get to the finals again. And he is always available which is a big part of success. He’s a tier 2 (5 to 8 ) level player that outperforms tier 1 (top 5) players because of his consistency and playing style. He boards he defends he plays the game the right way.

Is anyone even gonna bother watching tonight? Game so nasty I’m not even gonna bet on it

Okay I lied. Had to make a few slips to make this game interesting.

Sorry but Luka ranks higher on the cutie patootie scale

I still can't believe this is the ECF we got after 90+ games but IN for the trophy presentation

 

[2163O1baller90]

I like how aggressive McConnell is

 

[pmatic]

Why did Luke Walton choose AZ over UCLA?

Luke wanted to blaze his own trail and UCLA had good forwards at the time (Jason Kapono and Matt Barnes).

Jordan Brand signature shoe athlete vs Jordan Brand signature shoe athlete. Would that be a first in the finals if it happens?
