Yeah I don’t really expect you ax to acknowledge how opportunistic Tatum has gotten as a player

the counting stats are better than what you watch at this point due to him taking a back seat and hitting shots after someone else already broke the defense down or scoring after being up handily off the backs of others

He did not play good last night and if he didn’t play that entire game the Celtics would’ve been fine

You take out Jaylen Brown you might be looking at a L

And that applies to a lot of Celtics games

Tatum still plays weak when going to the rim, still makes questionable decisions with the ball when pressured, still takes bad shots that luckily go in at times, etc

He’s not great he’s just a beneficiary of great teams. I think management knows this which is why they try to stack the deck every season

Tatum plays on a team Jrue Holiday is the 4th best player and kristaps is 3rd

He’s happy as shit the pressure isn’t on him to lead and carry because he can’t do it

Jaylen Brown deserves the recognition and praise Tatum gets but he won’t

I covered this maybe a season ago or 2

Tatum a false superstar

It is what it is

The thing is when Jaylen mid nobody says shit it goes under the rug.

When they went down 3-2 going in to Milwaukee. Who had to go toe to toe with Giannis it wasn't Jaylen. 46 on the road to force the game 7

How about game 7 vs Philly? Niggas in here hyped a game tying 3 vs some weakass pacers more than real clashes with titans lol

Niggas be talking about Jaylen Brown like he some upstart 2nd round pick that had to rise from the ashes of the G-League. He was 3rd overall just like Tatum. Tatum just better than this nigga. Does JT make shit tougher for himself he has to? Yeah of course all this other shit just window dressing. This KD/Russ lite discourse all over again. One nigga plays like a chicken with head cut off sometimes and mean mug and he better than the relaxed nigga. It’s just on steroids now since Tatum a lightskin nigga with a natural S curl.

Smh at me having to stick up for a Celtic due to social programming. Yuck

Tatum skates through life and reaps all the rewards

This is one of your worst takes ever dawg. You wanna gas Zach Lowe and bring up numbers and analytics “the efficiency chart” and all that other bullshit but ignore the numbers when I’m bringing up FACTS about Tatum. This playoff run Jaylen has done a great job of being more of a vocal leader and being more efficient but we’re not here without Tatum. A lot of Jaylen getting off is due to the attention Tatum is drawing offensively. I despise some of his 3 point attempts but as long as we win banner 18 iont give a fuck about who 1A or 1B is
 
The Tatum and Brown disrespect is wild. Tatum didnt need to score because his team could carry him and best believe Tatum is due for a big game and will go off at some point. There's no excuses on the scoreboard and Tatum aint stupid, a win is a win. The media made yall believe that the Celtics were "scrubs". People forgot this a 64-win team who killed the opposition in their playoff series, injuries or not that's not Boston's fault or responsibility.

When we beat the Mavs in 5 a lot of yall gonna owe Tatum and Brown an apology.

Glad Porzingis was impactful in his minutes and S/O to having 6 players in double figures jaylen saved us when the mavs cut it to 8. Great defense holding them to 89 points. Repeat this on Sunday with less turnovers and a better Tatum performance

Brother I agree with you.

As for the lead, it was at the start of the quarter and no way was Boston gonna stop scoring after 9 points. If the lead was cut at the end of the quarter then I would have been nervous, a weaker coach or team would have caved. If you up 17, statistically speaking speaking you only need to score 23 points for each quarter to win and they could easily do that while applying defensive pressure and locking them up.

Kyrie and Luka are phenomenal scorers but lag on defense, and outside of them, the Mavs have no one else who can answer for JT, Brown, Jrue or Porzingis. Scoring is nice but defense wins championships.

Yeah man I was trying to tell them it’s a bad matchup mainly due to personnel and the fact they haven’t played a team with this many scoring options but a lot of people bought into that “tougher road western conference” bullshit and intentionally ignored facts that has been presented
 
Whoa JT drove into the paint and the D collapsed

😮

Ainge and Stevens bent over backwards to give Tatum as much help as possible because he’s not built for it

That’s it

It worked because you got guys talking about Tatum’s stats 4 years into the decade being better than everybody else despite never being MVP, winning a ring, or being considered a top 5 Player

Now he gets to ride KP, Jaylen, Jrue, and etc to the promised land
