    Tatum isn't coming here.

    He's a heck of a player, though.

    I am kind of jealous.

    Lol.

    our only and most realistic chance of getting Tatum would have been to draft him instead of Lonzo.

    we can thank Magic for that one

    Tatum hasn't shot well twice in a row in this series so the next game is going to be a stinker and the Bucks will advance :)

    yeah, seems like tatum isn't really held accountable for his stinkers like other stars, imo.

    but boston's winning game 7.

    people have also severely discounted the fact that middleton has been out in this series. boston would be at home right now.

    Yep, Tatum has had some stinkers, lol.

    But he showed up in a very big way superstar-esque.


    See if he can bring it home in game 7.

    yeah, it's just interesting to me that his game 3 performance wasn't dragged all over the internet but his game 6 performance has been already. he was as bad or worse in that game than he was good in this one.

    And in the Brooklyn games.

    It happens.

    Maybe because they needed this victory and he came through in a big way.

    That's just ESPN - cover what they want to cover. Shrugs.

    Aside from that, He's had. 3-4 awful shooting performances. But defenses get tighter, shots get contested more tightly, nothing we don't already know.

    This means nothing if he doesn't win Game 7, though.

    Nothing.

    yeah, it's just the different standards applied. espn's big piece today is trying to put tatum and giannis on the same plane, and...um...nay.

    Wow … guess they weren’t boys at Nova? Must have been some spirited practices. Or is this just smack like used to go on with Kuzma and Lonzo? Did a quick search for Josh’s nickname there and couldn’t find anything.

    no, i think they're good friends just getting at each other. a mean-spirited fat head joke wouldn't be very interesting to me.

    yeah, i'm pulling for both of those teams, but they're both on the road, which is a bad sign.

    still think it's amazing the bucks are in a game 7 against boston minus middleton. crickets from the press regarding the missing allstar.

    What's been anyone's who has an opinion on it take on the job Kidd, bringing along Dudley, has done in Dallas with this roster vs the roster last year under Carlisle, and his handling of Luka?

    Bucks look good early but Boston has all the momentum now.

    Bucks are in foul trouble and struggling to get good attempts

    Yep, amazing job by Kidd. Really underrated

    Giannis is a monster. Hope he prevails but needs help from the team. Portia, Allen and Pat need to step up

    kidd's been much better than i thought he would be; maybe he grew as a coach? maybe he understands luka better than carlisle, who wasn't the same kind of player? carlisle didn't do well in indy, either, so maybe he's losing his edge or whatever. i thought dallas would drop off substantially this year minus carlisle and with limited personnel change. but they didn't.
