[Highlights] Jayson Tatum in the big win over the Thunder: 19 PTS | 12 REB | 7 AST | 3 STL | 1 BLK
Some of those passes he was making are insane. Especially that cross-court skip pass to Brown, and the dime to Garza at the end when the Thunder tried to trap him
what a great play. i didn’t notice until seeing this replay how perfectly White sets the screen for JB.
White and Garza are both moving to set screens before Tatum even makes the pass, awesome play and execution.
Shows how in-depth the play calling is at this level, despite people trying to reduce it to “jacking threes”. Who prepares a play for a skip pass out of the corner lol.
What I love about it is how Derrick especially just walks casually over there, “ho hum nothing to see here, definitely not getting in position to set a screen.”
This is the one thing we have with the bigs that we didnt really have as much last year. Horford and KP obviously way more talented but they didn’t cut hard to the rim when they were the secondary action. Kornet did and it’s why he played great with Tatum on the floor. Obviously Rob was the best at this with Tatum
Tatum with guys who knows when to cut is beautiful offense
A couple years ago I decided to watch Celtics games more closely because I was curious if there was a legit argument to be made that Jaylen Brown was their best player, and the thing that really stood out to me the most was Tatum’s playmaking. I’m not even sure it shows up in the assist numbers. I don’t know how true this still is because I havn’t watched basketball much lately, but at least at that time it seemed like he was responsible for a LOT of the movement in their offense and would often be the guy to make the first pass in a chain of 3-4 passes that would lead to a decent look for the team.
Reddit is a ghost town since thunder lost and Celtics won. Buckbuck posted 100 Milwaukee clips tho haha he’s on suicide..watch thx for contributing
OKC never get any clips win or loss
I think he’s the best playmaking forward in the league tbh (Bron aside ofc, and assuming Luka is classified as a guard). I think there’s a case for Giannis for sure but he doesn’t have the same range of passing ability imo - he can pass out of the drive like nobody else in the league but he’s not making that skip pass to JB or that last pass to Garza for example
What do u think of Brandon Ingram?
He could be amazing but smokes too much weed and has games he doesn’t even show up
Ingram isn’t close to the player Tatum is
Did i say he was? I was strictly talking about being a playmaking forward.
I do think his playmaking is underrated but not even sure if he’s the best playmaking forward on his own team, Scottie might be better. Also I think Tatum has shown a lot more playmaking in the postseason and while it’s not necessarily all BI’s fault that he hasn’t been able to do that, I still tend to trust established postseason output
Jalen Johnson exists
His rebounding has been insane since the return.
Goddamn will they need it in the playoffs. Unless they plan on 40 minutes from queta every night.
Why doesn’t every contender simply add an All-NBA caliber player right before the playoffs? It’s so simple!
that pass to Brown and then blocking Dort right after got me so hype lmao
His contributions in the 2nd were a huge reason why we got back in this game. He made every shot, made the right pass, and brought down all the boards. Dude is a 2 way menace.
Can’t wait for him to find his shooting form and regain his wind.
He brought them back in the second quarter. Still finding his footing but he adds so much to their team. He does everything and all the little things. Really impressive.
When his 3 ball is falling he’s so good
The Jays are back. Look out NBA
