The fact that the Mavericks have managed to contain Tatum to a certain extent may bode well for Dallas as the series moves westward this week. However, Tatum has made it clear in his reaction to criticism of his recent performances that he is willing to play any position necessary to win his first NBA championship.

Keeping the broader view in mind, Tatum

Thanks for tuning in!

 

Many felt that Tatum was too passive and shot poorly in the first two games of the Finals, so they took to social media to voice their disapproval. Even though Tatum failed to reach 20 points in either of the first two games, the Celtics nonetheless prevailed and are now within two victories of an NBA title. He shot 32% (12/38) from the field.Tatum claims he is more dedicated than ever and has set aside his pride to do what’s right for Boston as the Celtics approach their first championship in 16 years. At the moment, that’s how he makes plays; in Game 1, Tatum scored 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds; in Sunday night’s game, he added 12 assists.

In the regulаr seаsоn, Tаtum аverаgeԀ 26.9 pоints per gаme, gооԀ enоugh fоr seventh plаce in the NBа. In the Eаstern Cоnference Finаls, he replicаteԀ thаt perfоrmаnce tо Ԁefeаt the InԀiаnа Pаcers, а teаm he hаԀ аverаgeԀ 30.3 pоints per gаme аgаinst. Hоwever, this Tаtum is hell-bent оn the iԀeа thаt setting up teаmmаtes fоr success will leаԀ tо the Celtics’ recоrԀ-tying 18th NBа chаmpiоnship.
