Why is Boston’s Jayson Tatum struggling so much in the 2022 NBA Finals?

While there may be a growing debate about whether it is caused by his inexperience, his shoulder stinger, the lockdown defense of the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Finals, or something else entirely, one thing everyone can agree on is that the Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum has not been playing like himself in the Finals against the Dubs.
