Unpopular opinion:
I don’t see what’s the large deal about Jayson Tatum not being within the rotation of USAMB first sport. They beat some of the proficient international locations by 26(!!). Steve Kerr stated JT will consider towards different opponents. That ought to simply be that. Everybody can’t play. – 10:33 AM

I swear I feel the message of this Jayson Tatum stuff is that Workforce USA ought to solely convey six or seven All-Stars to future Olympics. Assure minutes for a small group, then have a wider pool of specialists who perceive that they could not play. It is a dumb information cycle. – 9:47 PM

(And to be clear, I don’t actually have a tackle them not enjoying Tatum. Suppose there are completely matchups the place he’ll be essential. Can see a world the place towards Serbia it made extra sense to go one other method. Suppose I’m extra simply being affected person to search out out what the plan is for him) – 6:19 PM

Caitlin Clark, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum. This ain’t Little League. I noticed Phil Jackson up shut and wrote about it. Tons to query. However Phil established a crew hierarchy. Steve Kerr and others have made their daring decisions. Within the midst of politics you continue to have to educate. – 9:27 AM

Jayson Tatum will play Wednesday, coach Steve Kerr says, and he shortly provides that he received’t say who cycles out of the 10-man rotation. – 6:01 AM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
It’s not an enormous shock to me that Kerr wouldn’t have been as enamored of Tatum’s sport on this setting. Most likely Tatum’s largest weak point is holding the ball and Kerr hates that normally, and doubtless much more so on a crew with this a lot expertise. – 5:59 PM

Tatum dropping 40 on the Warriors in December and yelling at Steve Kerr after each made basket goes to be comedy – 3:52 PM
