Tatum has been 1st team nba the last 3 years, best player on the nba champs and can’t even give Durant a chance to rest or play a couple minutes to help the team. Kerr treating him like he is a nobody
Durant hasn't even been starting he wasn't tired. He needs to be starting tho. But he accepted the bench role that's why I don't care to hear the other players complain
That’s Kerr for you. He plays the guys he have chemistry with. To his defense. Tatum on offense has not been the same since January. Jalen Brown has carried more of the offense for BOS and in the playoffs. The shooting and the layups have been below par. Guys like KD and Book make there shots.
Good point on Bam too. Brian Barrett made a good case that Kerr, as a coach, lost his fastball in the past two years. Personally, I'd like to see Spo get the HC nod for 2028.
Almost want Kerr to bench Tatum against France and have the US lose to France on a last second jumper off the outstretched arms of an undersized Booker. 🥶
He is a major Tatum fan….Well at least Holiday and White played, maybe Kerr didn’t play Tatum because he didnt want to play 3 celtics….in all the games, one celtic has been benched.
@@francisco2525 I’m a major Tatum fan too I think it’s pretty wild that Tatum couldn’t find any mins but hey, I’m not mad at extra fuel for these guys for this upcoming szn. I’m just hoping coach Spo can coach next Olympics
I guess they want some drama or infighting going on because that’s weird. Who gets bored of seeing well executed basketball? And the celtics are good for giving you in-game anxiety if you’re a fan lol
this was very much like the heat series last year, yeah they made all their threes, but our three point defense was awful. these are still the best players in the world, and you can't give them open looks
Great game? Bad to nonexistent defense, hero-ball on parade, KD was good, the rest of the bench sucked. They could easily have lost and I spent the whole game pissed off about Tatum's DNP. No, it was not a good game. This is the Olympics but Kerr coached it like it was an NBA all-star game. Ugh!
I understand why Kerr DNP Tatum the first time around. But being down as much as 14 points in the 3rd quarter against Serbia in yesterdays game, Kerr should of put Tatum in. His set rotation was no longer working. Kerr needed to change the pace and give the opponent a new look. He needed to put Tatum in.
Embiid was awesome ON OFFENSE. Curry outrebounded him. LeBron covered for him bigtime in the second half. He was still excruciatingly bad on D. More AD would've helped.
If USA lost to Serbia not playing Tatum and not taking Brown, just damn. Im not to concerned about Tatum not playing and Brown not getting picked, but it's kinda fishy that the guys who stomped through the league with 6 of their 8 main guys being American only really sent a single day 1 USA player (Jrue). White is a replacement, and Tatum isn't playing. If the Celtics are so dominant and did it mostly without KP, why no JB and why no real minutes for JT? I think it's really strange. When else in history has a finals MVP not been a lock for their country's team? When did the reigning champ, only American 1st team all NBA guy, perfectly healthy in his prime, player get a DNPCD in a medal game? Ant getting minutes is a slap in the face, Tatum is both senior and better as a player. Booker too, but Ant is the real slap in the face, he's the new kid with a relatively immature basketball game.
Sorrry Jayson does not deserve this. If they played him and Halliburton there is a strong possiblity this game would not have been this close in the first place.
Saying Tatum needs the ball to be effective is a LIE the Cs just proved that! When his shot isn’t falling what does he do? Turns it up defensively and on the glass
Edwards uses 20 seconds to involve no one and get a contested, low % 2 pt. shot, he blows. Booker sucks too. it's fine though we have JT and he will get us back to back championships. Edwards is Carmello 2.0 at best.
@@jeremyzaslaw7295 who cares they both have led the team in scoring in a game this run to the gold. Meanwhile what has Tatum done won he played besides miss dunks and layups
Well, I would never cheer against my country. I guess you have to be over 40 to feel this way. Anyway, I think if you pull back from that strange wish you get this: IF they had lost, Kerr would've been, appropriately, eviscerated. Totally. So...because LBJ, Curry and KD put on capes AND Serbia melted, Kerr's off the hook? The fact is, they needed more viable contests on the perimeter, and were getting killed on the boards. Hmmm, would the 6'10" super-versatile defender collecting dust on the bench help? And don't anyone talk to me about Booker's great defense. First time ever, and he's still a guard. And yes, Ant played like total ASS. Crap. And Kerr made ZERO adjustments.
He's getting to watch how Steph Curry gets his shot off & hopefully he's picking up pointers because he's insistent on being a bricklayer and has been a terrible shooter to this point. Tatum should be more focused on why he can't make his shots. His shooting is really unreliable...!!! Hopefully he's taking note & working in his shot because it's been bad...!!!
Kerr is a coward he plays his own guy and plays the guys in western conference he will see 4 times year and maybe in playoffs. Afraid if he doesn’t play them they will come back to light his warriors up.
What I told you was facts tatum led the Celtics in scoring rebounds and assists. Look it up you do know how to use RUclips or google. Just a other jealous hater who doesn’t know basketball but wants talk big 😂.
Tatum has been mediocre in the Olympic exhibitions and games he’s played in, offensively and defensively. His accolades don’t justify playing time if there are better more consistent options. They’re playing to win the gold medal, not accommodate folks personal feelings.
Did you Celtics fans watch the nba playoffs Jayson Tatum sucked and probably would've help the team more sitting on the bench. He is not what boston hype's him up to be he's not a franchise pillar
Sorry but you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. I have watched and played basketball most of life . Tatum led Celtics in points rebounds and assists. And the last time tatum played in the Olympics 2020 he was 22 and him & Durant where the top two scorers on that . The Olympic run ended in a gold medal wake up come with facts not a weak take 😂.
@@jeanrwhite7068 right he lead the Celtics to a championship that's what you saw you know nothing about Ball dude shut up he got carried by Brown White and Holiday and he's getting carried again to a gold medal. Team USA knows he's not good enough very inconsistent they don't have time for that
They should have lost this game. I don’t get what people say that the Celtics are boring. Winning isn’t boring to me and neither is good basketball
Great observations!!!
Tatum has been 1st team nba the last 3 years, best player on the nba champs and can’t even give Durant a chance to rest or play a couple minutes to help the team. Kerr treating him like he is a nobody
Yeah smh. I’m not saying Tatum for MVP but how he doesn’t get 15 minutes is shocking to me.
Durant hasn't even been starting he wasn't tired. He needs to be starting tho. But he accepted the bench role that's why I don't care to hear the other players complain
That’s Kerr for you. He plays the guys he have chemistry with. To his defense. Tatum on offense has not been the same since January. Jalen Brown has carried more of the offense for BOS and in the playoffs. The shooting and the layups have been below par. Guys like KD and Book make there shots.

I was also expecting team USA to lose without playing Tatum, and see how Kerr reacts to that!
This 3 guard rotation makes no sense. Curry would score and then they would come back and score on curry
They most def needed curry to bail them out lol 🤣 the comment aged bad. Putting you on the spot.
Love the role reversal between u two. sams usually the one up and arms and Jack usually indifferent this is nice 😂
Anyone who loves good BASKETBALL would not call Boston’s era boring…
Almost want Kerr to bench Tatum against France and have the US lose to France on a last second jumper off the outstretched arms of an undersized Booker. 🥶
Jack got that Mazzulla intensity this episode
He is a major Tatum fan….Well at least Holiday and White played, maybe Kerr didn’t play Tatum because he didnt want to play 3 celtics….in all the games, one celtic has been benched.

Yup, USA didn’t win with Steve coaching, they won DESPITE him coaching.
Jack was hilarious in this one!
It's boring to call the Celtics boring. Especially when you're covering the Celtics...
I guess they want some drama or infighting going on because that’s weird. Who gets bored of seeing well executed basketball? And the celtics are good for giving you in-game anxiety if you’re a fan lol
18:33 Jack 😂 thanks for the laugh this morning brother
This is Steve Kerrs’ biggest offense since naming his son Nick
Smart move on Kerr 100% JT would of blown that game
Ok casual

Tatum doesn’t seem like the petty type but if I’m him there’s zero chance I’m playing 2028.

Tons of open 3s
Sorrry Jayson does not deserve this. If they played him and Halliburton there is a strong possiblity this game would not have been this close in the first place.
Yeah it wouldve been done before the half.
Also, Tatum literally doesn't show up to play at times. Why would you even put him there?
Jack, you could've just put Matt the Rat up for this one and done an entire "Rat List: Steve Kerr" episode.
God I wish they lost.

Yea u don't no basketball at all nice try tho
Edwards and Booker have played 10 times better then Tatum in these Olympics
@@mario6150 Edwards and Booker just combined for 8 pts 2 reb 1 ast 1 blk in 37.5 minutes you basketball genius. 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeremyzaslaw7295 who cares they both have led the team in scoring in a game this run to the gold. Meanwhile what has Tatum done won he played besides miss dunks and layups
I wonder what Kerr is going to do against Wemby that is eff'd up.
If I’m Joe, somebody’s getting a sternly worded phone call after this is over. You know, like what the F are trying to do to my player!
I have never seen a ALL NBA 1st team player coming off a championship so disrespected. Kerr has no business being coach for our country
the defense was AWFUL bro i can't stand watching this team. good win tho
Yeah Anthony Edwards. Is a ball hog I agree I said the same thing during that game Tatum played. This guy was jacking up shots lol
This just in JACK HATES AMERICA
This was a great rant post... very cathartic lol. Fk Kerr
Comment with zero homerism (really): isn't Mazzulla clearly a better coach than Kerr at this point? Don't think it's even contestable.
Well, I would never cheer against my country. I guess you have to be over 40 to feel this way.

Kerr is the worst team USA coach ever!
Yea... worst undefeated usa coach ever
What I told you was facts tatum led the Celtics in scoring rebounds and assists. Look it up you do know how to use RUclips or google. Just a other jealous hater who doesn’t know basketball but wants talk big 😂.
Only Boston fans would want US to loose just so they can stick it to Kerr. 😢
Kerr is a horrible coach and a great politician!!
A lot of Celtics #CrybabyCulture in here!
