I'm not sure saying that they need to learn to pass the ball is really a respectful thing to say, but maybe it's a necessary thing to say? I'm not even really sure about that; at least maybe not saying it to the cameras. This seems like one of those examples of "Maybe don't be so forthcoming with reporters and handle your stuff in house". Granted, maybe he's already tried to handle it in house and frustration is starting to boil over. I don't know. But that was definitely some shots fired at Tatum & Brown (and Udoka for that matter).

Boston's in sort of a tricky spot with these two. They're obviously both extremely talented, but they are objectively very limited as passers and yet you want the offense to be run through them. Kawhi sort of went through this development when he was younger too; even in the San Antonio offense that functioned so beautifully, he was a poor passer that didn't really understand how to create for anyone outside of himself. It took him like 6 years before he started to show real progress in that regard and now he's become one of the most dangerous offensive players in the league because his passing ability complements his shot making. Probably a bit trickier in this case because both of the guys you've built the team around need to go through that development.
