1) Dame already said if the team made the playoffs without him, they should play without him this year
2) Tatum didn’t come back unexpectedly. He talked about it all year.
I actually disagree with this. 15 years of not having a team to root for one great season in the distant future if I’m even still alive? No thank you. A championship isn’t that important to me and 15 years of competing could organically lead to a title anyway.
