After the Celtics’ Game 4 loss to the Warriors, Marcus Smart explained what he and the team have been telling Jayson Tatum during his uncharacteristic slump in the NBA Finals.
"Yeah, we all are," Smart answered."We just constantly let him know keep going. This isn't your first time being in a slump. Won't be the last time. You got to figure it out. We trust you, we believe in you. This is what you're made for. Jayson has to figure it out. We have to do a good job of helping him.
"But, you know, him being the player he is, these are the moments where he has to come alive and figure it out. He will. We don't know when it is, but we're sure it's going to happen soon, we're ready for it, and we're here to back him up.""It's on me. I got to be better," he said after the C's loss."I know I'm impacting the game in other ways, but I got to be more efficient, shoot the ball better, finish at the rim better.
"I take accountability for that. I just look forward to Monday. Leave this one behind us. Learn from it, watch the film, things like that, but everybody probably feels like they got to be better, myself included. Just go get it on Monday.
