Jayson Tatum checks out in the win @Philadelphia: 30/7/11 on 8⁄16 FG
https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401869406
30 points
7 rebounds
11 assists
8⁄16 FG, 5⁄10 3PT, 9⁄9 FT
Game high +/- of +25
He started 1⁄8 btw
This is his 2nd highest scoring game this season.
Can’t even get a triple double, bum!
mamba mentality
Game 6 vibes. Belt to assš„š
And it didn’t even matter bc his team carries him
Trying to talk any kind of shit after that is…commendable honestly
The best you got is that the rest of team is good too!
If your argument was the Celtics are better than the sixers youād be right.
cant remember the last time that wasnāt true
Belt to ass cry about it
Embiid makes his team worse
The Celtics won over 50 games while Tatum was in street clothes
Imagine thinking that having an awesome team outside of your top 2 guys is somehow an insult.
Itās fans who root for players and not teams, so they donāt understand people who root for every player on the team. Like a Celtics fan is going to be mad that the team got the 2 seed without Tatum
Yeah my football team does the same bullshit with Jalen Hurts. Heās a nice player on a super team
No I root for teams I still understand how one player has to play with a much higher degree of difficulty
Whatever makes you feel better. Howās coming back from an Achilles tear for degree of difficulty?
You right we are a good team. You guys should try it
We do just in football
Wow didnāt realize we were in r/nfl
The Celtics had 3 returning starters and lost their entire center rotation and half their depth. People were saying they’d be lucky to win 30 games this year in the preseason. Queta was a 4th string center last year. Put some respect on Mazzulla and company.
Good. I’m grateful we have a great team, front office, and coaching staff.
Seems some fans thinks it’s cool to have a bad team.
Yep! Iād absolutely make that trade.
The Sixers can barely win 50 games during the rare stretches where Embiid isnāt in street clothes
Yes that must be why the Celtics made the conference finals the year before Tatum was drafted
Brother, your city trusted a process that was a bigger fraud than any Ponzi scheme. No need to be a bitch just because other teams are run better than yours
HAHAHAHAHA your tears are delicious
Dudes like this are the worst, just appreciate the performance are u gonna demean the guy every good game he has because the team is good?
Yes. Go home
buddy , just go to sleep
To be fair, the Sixers carry Embiid as well. Itās just that their kind of carrying is much more literal
Youād rather get dominated by Payton Pritchard? I mean Iād let him dominate me but donāt you have any self respect?
āJayson Tatum will never be the same. And that should terrify you.ā
If I were an opposing fan I too would be terrified that he got better too
Dr. OāMalley needs to get a statue outside the Garden for his work
he might genuinely get on if donte comes back as early as tatum did
Did he do Donteās surgery as well?
Yep! Donte also got the surgery within 24 hours, as with Tatum
Damn, dude must be on call 24⁄7 during playoffs
Fuck it, get the guy a private jet, he’s putting in work every playoffs
The overtime checks are probably easy to cash when your clients are the top 1% of the top 1% financially.
He did Liverpool player Hugo Ekitike’s too just in this past week as well.
The new dr. James andrews
Could genuinely be put on retainer by the NBA to always be available and make a fucking mint and save peoples careers
If Haliās even close to coming back this ready Iāll build it my damn self
Top 5 player and contributes on both sides of the floor.
Tatum is so fun to watch when heās on his game is butter. I got him in my personal 5-10 awesome player
Heās not better than Luka but heās top 7
He might be a top 5 player on the Celtics
Top 5 in the league!!
yeah he is
Philly fans resorting to āTatumās not even goodā after every time he whoops them will never not give me a chuckle. This man has owned your entire franchise for close to a decade at this point and itās legit broken yāallās brains.
NBA Jalen Hurts
Four straight all NBA first teams before missing this year due to the Achilles surgery. Very obviously a top 5 player.
Tatum vs Philly is what lebron is to Toronto. Unreal BTA every single time.
LeBronto is a real thing.
Jaysontario?
Philadelphatum
What’s Toronto?
Common error. He meant Lebronto
Bro was 4⁄12 and 1⁄6 from 3 at one point. Nails his next 4 3s and gets a few free throws for his troubles.
I’ve seen this before…
Started 1⁄8
Started 1-8, 0-5 from 3 and was still a team best +13.
Thats modern medicine baby
Cool and a cucumber
politely asked Boston to be ass for 1 fucking season with all the reason too and they lost 5 less games and won more games in one year than my team did in fucking 3 years
wizards?
dc in 6 #2027 #DCbantsa
seems like he always ups his playmaking volume in the playoffs, but this is the best i’ve ever seen him pass
His passing was awful today lmao
Brother he had 11 assists?
Read his name lmao
Check his name
Literally 0 impressive passes and 5 turnovers lol
Yet, we got on a run in the first with him getting the ball the open shooters every possession while cutting the penetrations in a row on D. Him and the bench has always been good, for a reason.
they went on their best run when he wasnāt in the game.
Like when you are already dead lol. The best run was ended with Pritchard shot in the first half and he was on the court, facilating. You never made it back.
Edit:lol I just doubted myself and check, biggest runs were with him and that is why he got the best plus minus. You are delusional.
Yeah Pritchard shooting unassisted pull-ups are because of Tatum and of course he was not on the court for Pritchardās big run
lol, you don’t know what you are watching. Our shot quality is always based on collapsing defense and using doubles to advantage. Rarely it is the first pass going in, more often the extra pass or a second dribble on rotating D. And I am sure VJ lost in the paint in a row cut by Tatum is on someone else.
he was a team best +25 tonight, but try again?
It’s ok bud, you can just say you don’t know ball
Did we watch the same game?
Not even a triple double, what a bum
/s
Cucumber
Cool
This guy got injured last playoffs what the fuck
Hasnāt even been a full year. Itās actually beyond my wildest dreams. I saw him go down and was like āif heās 80% of what he was before heās still eliteā and somehow he got better after the injury?
Owns the Sixers every time they meet in the playoffs
Tatum haters crying into their pillows. The world is healing
Tatum haters are no longer concerned for Tatum now that Sga is in the picture
works for me
Yeah they have other people to hate, also Jokic or Luka
Lebeon think he special for sharing the playoffs with his son but JT has been doing that with embiid for years
Well Iāll be damned, modern science has finally developed far enough to treat the Achillies.
ACL and Achillies used to be death sentences but here we areā¦ beautiful š„¹
The Adrian Peterson injury was the turning point, it seems.
clears embitch
You’re way out of line, this isn’t on at all. Why bring up Embiid when this is a post celebrating JT?
I respect you, Fuck boston, but you alright for sure.
Stay up and stay blessed.
SgtDork
Ok Fartacus
You’re acting like they didn’t just whoop embiids team. I’m so tired of this fake humble nice bullshit fans are doing nowadays. Now, you shouldn’t go into a team’s subreddit unless actually discussing the game, but talking trash is literally what sports is about.
I canāt speak for other fans but in my case I can promise you itās not fake. I donāt care for Embiid at all, I definitely donāt give him more thought than I need to so I couldnāt care less whether he was playing tonight or not. Iām just happy my team won and JTās looking as good as heās ever been so soon after his injury.
And that’s cool and good for you but it’s super lame to tell sports fans to not be sports fans.
Talking shit is part of the game. Itād be a shame if yāall lost to the magic
Dude stfu lol
all this just to get your back blown out by okc lol
Celtics fansā obsession with a guy whoās had his career robbed by injuries and significantly less help than Tatum will always amaze me
Such a ridiculous take. Heās had some great teams and literally has never been past the second round!! Tatum has been on way worse teams that made the conference finals. You donāt think if Tatum had prime Jimmy butler, all nba Simmons, prime reddick and great role players he easily makes it past the second round??
Do you know who he lost to that year? Any iteration of the Tatum celtics probably loses to that team as well. Simmons also turned into a pumpkin a year or two later and they traded Jimmy.
Yeah or that time a fully healthy embiid lost in 5 to Tatum when tatumās starting lineup was rozier smart baynes and horford. What a power lineup.
Dude had plenty of help but canāt do shit with his rosters
Heās never been healthy in the playoffs and thereās no way you think heās had anywhere close to the amount of help Tatum has.
Heās had harden, jimmy butler, al horford, maxey, Ben Simmons, Paul George and has not gotten out of the 2nd round once.
Tatum has a million more success in the playoffs because heās simply performed better. Performed better as a rookie in 2018, where the 76ers were heavy favorites and they lost 4-1 then. Got out performed by Tatum when sixers was up 3-2 on the Celtics on their floor and couldnāt close it out meanwhile Tatum has 16 in the 4th wins game 6, and then drops 51 in game 7 for the series.
I know youāre a lakers fan so you have a little salt to anything Celtics related but Tatum has been better than Embiid when it matters most.
Embiid has like the best playoff on/off splits ever lol
Celtics fans donāt look at numbers so they wonāt care
Tatum is just Paul George on a super team and they think heās Jordan
No conference finals no finals no signature playoff duels nothing just pure B2A
What a weird comment. Weāre playing Philly right now. How is this an obsession? If we were playing Toronto and in a post about a good game by Tatum we were talking trash about Embiid it would be weird. Itās pretty normal to talk trash about the players youāre currently playing against.
He is thrust in everyone’s face (no diddy) by all the mvp debates over the years
You can believe he didnāt deserve his MVP but to act like he didnāt belong in the conversations is revisionist history. He was amazing in his prime (better than Tatum on both sides of the ball for sure) and was the best player in the world in 2024 prior to the injury
Eagles fans do this with Hurts too. The Celtics would have won this game if Tatum stood in the corner lol
JT started the game 1-8 and they were still up 20 the whole time
Tatum lives to smack around Philly every playoffs
King of missing out on triple doubles
Proud owner of the Philadelphia 76ers for about 10 years running.
Heās been really good this first round. Actually insane to do this so fast from the injury
Itās honestly so good to see him recover from injury as if he hasnāt skipped a beat. Letās fucking go man
cool and cucumber
I thought he was on for a stinker after that first half, but wow he really turned up the heat in the second. What a game for JT.
He was doing just fine on the first half. Come on now, our first big run to double digit lead was him with the bench and he was kicking out wide open shooters left and right while covering Vuc’s on penetration lanes on the other hand. Look how he stopped the drives multiple times just to take the ball to open shooter on the other hand. He is not a player to be judged on shooting efficiency.
Yeah that’s fair. I meant from a scoring standpoint JT was horrible, but he was still effecting the game in other ways that you highlighted which JT is fantastic at. He’s truly a swiss army knife.
His Surgeon must be Jesus Christ himself.
Daddy of Philly
BIG DEUCE HATES PHILADELPHIA!
He still special š®āšØ
If only there was way to work Tatumās name into Philadelphia in the same style as āLeBrontoā
Tatumelphia
My goat
Iāll eat crow because I said itās best that he sits all season and come back better next.
Ya Mahomes coming back week 6
Jayson “Owner of Philadelphia” Tatum
[deleted]
Stay salty
Ah yes I remember that 51 point game 7 against the Sixers where he statpadded from the opening tip. Heās your father
The gameās over from the opening tip-off as long as Tatumās on the same court as his son Joel
Why’d he still play 34 minutes in a blowout?
Statpadded a little at the end but good second half nonetheless
Some of the Sixers starters like Maxey were still on the floor tbf
Fairs nice statpad
How is this a statpad lmao
I mean when youāre up by 20+ most of the game, I guess itās all kind of a stat pad. Or something.
he is a sixers fan, don’t mind him lmao
They were up like 25 going into 4th and he scored half his points there
So essentially he slammed shut the sixers hopes completely to seal the series? Yeah letās ignore that
I mean u can look at it that way but pritchard quarters 1 through 3 kinda already did that
Thatās rich coming from a Lamar fanĀ
This doesnāt even make sense
Ravens put up 50 on bad teams all the time, letās be real
Normally good teams blow out bad teams. He said lamar tho not the ravens thats why im confused
The 2023 Ravens went 10-4 against winning teams, the 2024 Ravens went 9-3 against winning teams. Save the schedule talk for the Patriots lol
Statpadded most of these points. His team carried him to a blowout when he was 13pts 5⁄13
Ah good ol Philly fans I missed this. Looking for any reason to hate on Tatum after getting whupped in the playoffs year after year
If Tatum was statpadding, I’d hate to hear what you’re about to call what Embiid did.
cry me a river lmao
Your starters were in all throughout the game when he was destroying you guys
This guy has an account dedicated to Daryl Morey lmao
lmfaooooo
He would be a role player on any other team
Very stupid hes a superstar and he would elevate any team he went to. You get if he went to okc or spurs people would cry superteam so lets be real.
people really do just be saying anything on the internet
Heād be the best player on the Sixers today.
