Tass Mellis

He was getting downhill in this.

He was trying to jump off of his bad legs.

Some of his more awkward takes, I thought, were that way.

And I also thought he was kind of stretching himself a little bit.

He started this game 10 for 17, then in the fourth quarter went two for six.

And it just felt like, to me, he was like, how much...

gas do i actually have yeah trying to empty the tank and see how deep he can go uh because the games are gonna get harder uh in the playoffs but tatum has looked pretty solid if the three-pointer comes around like it did against the hornets scary stuff

It is true.

It is what Michael Jordan said in that interview earlier on the NBC broadcast with Mike Tirico that people have to play together and there's load management just doesn't work and Jason Tatum has to play more to get to his peak.

And you saw it on Friday night.

The first three quarters were not good for Jason Tatum and the fourth quarter he peaked.

It's important.

And so, yeah, I said that Jalen Brown is the number one guy on that team even though he definitely wasn't even in the championship run and that's why...

There's people here in our stream team like Big Mayo XM saying, oh, no, Jason Tatum is number one.

Don't ever call him number two.

This season is different.

I think that's very apparent.

Although I don't know what's going on with YouTube.

We literally have more likes on this live stream than we do people watching.

Something going on.
