[FREE TO READ] Jayson Tatum continues to meet every challenge. Now, anything is possible for Celtics
Good stuff here. I can’t really believe how good Tatum has looked, and honestly it’s been hard not to be desensitized to how impressive what he’s doing is.
The graf about JB’s slow-ish start and relatively quiet games from Derrick and Pritchard jumped out, too. Sixers have plenty of places they can look and think, “We’ll be better in this area next game.” Somehow, the C’s do, too.
The media: “JaySoN TaTuM iS NoT 100%!11!!!”
Yeah, well, if this ain’t Tatum at 100%, the league is straight up fucked for the next 4 years.
I mean I think when most people said he wasn’t 100% was because of rust and getting his conditioning right. Like I doubt the team was gonna let him come back if he didn’t check all the boxes physically.
The blurb about Tatum giving what the game needs is my favorite part.
He doesn’t always need to score 28+ every game. He has a ton of gravity and the team has plus shooters at every position outside of Queta. If he’s getting 20-25 on good efficiency while getting 7+ assists using his draw, that’s where he’s scariest imo.
