Kerr has generally stuck to a 10-man rotation (maximum) throughout his coaching career - he had similar comments this past season for the Warriors when JK or Moody would miss games. So, I would assume there will always be two who miss out...I just have no clue why Tatum is one of those two.
You both are 💯 correct. I will boycott if Tatum doesn’t play why do they continue to hate on him he’s such a Fantastic player and a great Team leader smh
Tim Shield and Adam Taylor this is my first time watching you and I was so impressed you believe I will tell everyone to watch your podcast. Thank you for telling the truth about our Champ Jason Tatum #1.
Even though I'm a Milwaukee bucks, fan and Boston is one of our arch enemies that was disgraceful.What was done to Jayson Tatum even though I didn't see the game. And in a blow-out nevertheless It is early.Maybe this is a strategy to play different guys in different Match ups
@@gregorycamacho5798 I would argue Book is a better scorer, but Tatum is a better all-around offensive talent = screening, cutting, post play, passing, range of passing, etc
This crying by Celtics fans because their favorite player didn't play is comical. The goal is Gold by all means necessary. Everyone of those guys knew what they were signing up for. Style points or who gets minutes doesn't matter because if this team does not deliver, guess who's head is on the chopping block... Kerr. If I'm him, I'm doing whatever it takes to win the Gold, feelings be damned. And its not like JT won't play at all through the tourney. If that happened, that'll be insane but its very unlikely. Last thing, they won by damn near 30pts and mf'ers are still not happy. hahahah this is unreal after all the flack they've been catching for playing close games
MJ, needs to fly to France and slap Steve Kerr like he did during the Bulls glory days...what an embarrassment not playing Tatum. Tatum is humiliated and shouldn't play for USA again. Not even a Tatum fan but the disrespect is unbelievable.
He can not coach. He does the same thing with the Warriors. I will not be surprised if he does not repeat the FIBA outcome. When he kills the morale of his young players. Then, he will say the vets are more reliable. He was a guard and like he only like to play guards. This is only the first game, and already his foolishness is showing.
Tatum has been struggling since April, why are we pretending otherwise? He hasn’t been great and he has been underperforming. At no point did he look good in any of the friendly games. Be honest
Embiid has been arguably the worst player and nobody has really looked “good”. Dude lead the champs in points rebounds and assists but hasn’t played well since April?
@@jayy88 did you actually watch the playoffs?! Tatum wasn’t good. The arguments for their best player all playoff long was between Brown & Holiday & started off between Porzingis & Brown. The entire playoffs Celtics fans had to argue about screen assists & all the little things that Tatum did, but if he was good it would have been evident, same with team USA. Kerr & Spo have coached greatness, they know it when they see it, Tatum isn’t it. What does he do that makes him elite? Defense? 3pt shooting? 2pt efficiency? Passing?Rebounding? Shot blocking? catching lobs? He’s an all around good player but he’s now playing with guys that are elite at their skill sets & everyone on the team is more elite at those skills than he is.
@@jayy88 oh and Embiid has a higher ceiling of an elite skills set that can dominate a team more than Tatum; and they just need another big body to absorb fouls for AD & Bam. It’s more valuable than Tatum for this team
@@Mac2Moncome on man he averaged 30-8-8 in the ECF how is that struggling? Admittedly is shot hasn’t been falling but he’s been a top tier defender, rebounder for his position, and passer. And when he’s been asked to go and get buckets he’s done it… what are we even talking about? Even if I grant that Tatum has struggled in the finals (which I don’t believe) it doesn’t account for a dnp… it’s not like he’s a fourth best player on his team or a down the bench guy he’s a 3x all nba first team guy. He’s a way better defender than curry, book, Joel, Lebron and kd.. he’s a better playmaker than book, kd, Joel, ad, bam, curry, jrue, and ant (at this point in his career). He’s a better rebounder than curry, ant, book, kd, jrue, and white… this ain’t rocket science or complicated
Playing the other Celtics and not Tatum does seem a little off but nothing to get upset about, next game we'll see what happens, he started in exhibition games
This whole 2024 USA Olympics Team is just controversial from day 1 Bron choice the roster. All day the black Balling, taken injury players, when u got plenty healthy player that want to represent there Country also. The Politic is getting to a point that it is embarrassing. These lam excuses Grant,Kerr,,,etc are giving is a insult to America citizens. Every player should play in a blow out.
@@Thomasthetruthteller If I'm not mistaken, becuase he's played for the Dominican National Team, he wouldn't be allowed to switch. Which sucks, but I get it.
@@dehaman_4_144Who is the natural 3 really? Tatum is a nice guy but he is a first team all nba, gives him some curtesy and dignity to play some minutes.
@@dehaman_4_144 KD played well but he didn't even play that much, so I don't have a problem with him. Kerr coukd have handled that a lot better. It was not even a close game.
Typical jealous hater who knows nothing about basketball. Several times all-star, three consecutive all NBA first team, the highest paid NBA player today and just won his first title at 26. guess who other NBA legend won their title at the age of 26. And his team got almost all their roster back ready to get back-to-back and even winning multiple titles in the near future
@@jayy88this is international play not the nba if Tatum can’t fit a role then he’s not playable. He’s been pretty bad in the exhibition games they bring up Booker but Booker has willingly become a catch and shoot guy. Embiid hasn’t been great but he brings needed size and Tatum is not gonna be a top 3 option on this team KD and lebron are our top players.
@@TaylorTalksCelticsI agree Tatum SHOULD have gotten minutes somewhere, but this happens to a lot of guys through the years as well. He just needs to figure out where to fit bc he isn’t gonna be the go to option kd is an international legend and well lebron is lebron. Booker may not be a better overall player, but he does work as a catch and shoot guy. Vs South Sudan I bet Tatum will play more as his size will be used to play as a 2/3 can’t use him as a 4/5 at international level just with how the rules are and how these European teams want to play.
Listen all you victim minded ppl. Harden and Anthony Davis both sat. Rondo and Arenas both were cut. Now do you see why jaylen wasn't chosen? Everyone can't go and sit in peace without being a distraction. Jaylen commenting every chance he gets proves he would've been stir crazy riding pine up here with trans men immitating Jesus at the last supper. Kyrie too... Am I the inky adult in the room. Dayum.
I'm just curious to see if there's always gonna be 1-2 odd men out moving forward like Tatum and Haliburton today. Or if this repeats again
Kerr has generally stuck to a 10-man rotation (maximum) throughout his coaching career - he had similar comments this past season for the Warriors when JK or Moody would miss games. So, I would assume there will always be two who miss out...I just have no clue why Tatum is one of those two.
@@TaylorTalksCeltics we are not talking about moody or jk we are talking about two all stars
I wouldn’t play again for team USA if I were Tatum.
Kerr said it was impossible to play more than 10 players, but the next 2 games he played 11. This is what's called big time BS! Basically, he lied.
Don't worry, Kerr will never win another title unless he is given another team created by another coach .
NO EXCUSE!!! Curry got hurt 😔 plays no defense and Kerr couldn’t give Tatum 60s!!!!
You both are 💯 correct. I will boycott if Tatum doesn’t play why do they continue to hate on him he’s such a Fantastic player and a great Team leader smh
Usa basketball got something against the Celtics not named derrick white or jrue holiday
I can't believe nobody else see it
You mean team USA likes the good steady players on the Celtics with good personalities. Sounds about right

Your stating facts.
JT should just withdraw from this team if he is not going to play
The 🇺🇸 team is circus Kerr playing theses old players like KD& Lebron when Tatum are both better them at this stage of his career
Did you just say that😂😂😂😂😂
Tatum has not done anything for team USA this year.
Put KD on the celtics remove tatum celtics going 15-1 or 15-2 with sweeping dallas in the finals
Remove lebron and kd off this team and play Tatum, they won’t even beat Serbia.
What did u just say? If it was that tatum is better then kd and lebron then I understand why you can't write a sentence

I have multiple hours of footage to prove otherwise. Stop looking at points and FG% and focus on other aspects of the game. Tatum was solid
Coaching. Maybe Tatum said something positive about Jaylen Brown? This is team Nike,not team USA.
I’m boycotting I’m pissed Jason Tatum didn’t play again smh
Playing the other Celtics and not Tatum does seem a little off but nothing to get upset about, next game we'll see what happens, he started in exhibition games

Kerr did Nike put a bug 🪲🐛 in your ear not to play Tatum 😂😂😂
Tatum is Nike guy with Jordan brand shut up 🍑
so why did he snub him
Tatum had a fever that's why he didn't play
100% false. It was even discussed in the first 5 mins of the video, which I guess you didn’t watch
they should have put horeford and brown on the team as well. Horeford is a better team guy than enbid
