After tonight he is averaging 28/6/8 on the season and his 3 point shot is now starting to warm up. Scary to see what he’ll be doing once he’s back to 35-37% from downtown .
Love that he’s been attacking the rim more too. Career high rn in free throw attempts per game. I wonder how sustainable this will be . But if Tatum can maintain 10-11 attempts per game he will be in MVP talks come season end
It’s almost like having to take turns with a very good but clearly inferior player was holding him back.
This is the first time we get to see Tatum with the ball in his hands as much as he wants like most superstars get
Damn if “very good but clearly inferior” isn’t the perfect description of JB. “Hey, we have a Top 5 player, but we can’t let our Top 25 guy get upset.”
One sided obsession. “Top 5” because he’s average 27 points in terrible efficiency against the worst teams in the league. 🤣
I feel bad for Charlotte. They didn’t even do anything wrong, Tatum just roasted their franchise years ago and now has to live up to it by destroying them every time he’s in Charlotte. Literally manufactured his beef
Yeah they did. They traded away their franchise point guard. Fucking idiots
for the safety of the streets
They were smart enough to draft Kobe.
I wouldn’t call it a beef, more like a pork chop with some gravy.
If JB lays a stinker when he plays the Celtics you already know some dude is gonna post his statline as Jaylen “Lamb Chop” Brown 😭
Some dude and it’ll be the nbc Boston broadcast lmao
He always plays well against them, called them out in motivational speech, and they have Grant Williams on the team.
He is destined to go off against them almost every time
That Charlotte team kicked the crap out of us in March (without Tatum) and their fans were just a liiiittle bit too comfy talkin shit about it. Lots of “belt to ass” comments for the next week.
I don’t feel bad for them. I hope they enjoyed their belt to ass by Tatum.
I’m just glad Tatum has his own little beef somewhere!
damn 1 half decent game and the glazers come scurrying out of the woods
One decent game? You talking about the dude who just won player of the week?
lol, lmao even
One half decent game he says as Tatum just ruthlessly pounded them and sat for the full 4th quarter lmao
Flair up pussy
Shame it was a blowout, this could have been a 50 point triple double. Dude was on one.
Could’ve been 60. How are the Hornets this bad
They don’t have good players
Yeah that’ll do it
It’s almost as if they traded their premiere PG and wanted to rely on one that has perpetually strained hamstrings.
All of their players are hurt or got hurt in this game.
They traded the guy who made their offense work
Seriously what the fuck were y’all expecting with this Hornets team? I don’t understand
They probably expected their starting 1&2 to be healthy to start the year and hover around .500?
Their starting 1 and 2 are not that good
I’ll give you one guess
Brandon Miller
Thats how i felt in the game 7 masterclass.. Dude had 51 points with 8 minutes left to play in game 7 vs the sixers. Dude should have gone for 70.
He was hunting Embiid the entire time too lol.
His threes are finally dropping
Is he done for the night??? There’s still half a quarter
They’re up 40
It’s an nba cup game. We need to be scoring as many points as possible.
That’s nice, but the best player is still less than a year from returning from a torn achilles. They’re up by a lot let him rest
even if he wasnt less than a year from coming back from a torn achilles, he wouldnt be playing this deep into a blowout
The players themselves care about these games.
Come on man
It’s true. These extra points matter
Remember the first year of it when we went on to dog the Bulls when we realized how many points we needed to stay in it?
Yes, it’s only a Cup game, which means it would be fucking stupid to overplay a star in a 40 point game.
It’s a tv ratings gimmick, not the playoffs where you’re willing to push players to the limit.
Players…especially lower paid ones…care about these lol
Or we could just win all the games in our easy group
Yeah he checked out after the 3rd quarter up 40. Even though it’s a Cup game he’s almost certainly done
He didnt play at all in the fourth.
Celtics are so fun to watch I’ve bought league pass
Also my toddler son was obsessed with dogs chasing frisbees at half so that’s a bonus
The ball movement and defense is insane. It’s really a breath of fresh air compared to last year.
he couldve had 60 tonight tbh it was a blowout
Tatum could have had 60 tonight. He was on one early
Could’ve been a 50 point triple double if the hornets weren’t trash
Isn’t there still like 7 minutes left why are we getting stat posts
Because theyre up 40 and he’s done for the game
Are you sure? Maybe we could still make a comeback.
It’s not over until it’s over
He’s playing the best ball of his career to start the season, just total complete dominance, he’s really mastered the mental part of the game offensively. I know it was Charlotte tonight but it’s been every game besides the first one. Top 3 mvp finish incoming and if the chips fall right he might win it.
Lamb Chops next week
he’s staying ready at all times, per beef-less JB
With Jayson Tatum as the clear premier star for Boston, he’s fully realizing what he always wanted to prove; that he is the BEST basketball player on PLANET EARTH!
I just wanna let you know I enjoy this gimmick
The hornets are something ….
Probably could’ve had 50 if he wasn’t taken out
29 minutes btw
In 3 quarters
In 29 minutes
Is that kid on Charlotte still any good or just cheeks now? I did think LaMelo was overrated and not a winning player but their falloff has been massive.
This is the best he’s ever been, man. Doesn’t seem to be any meaningful drop-off physically from the Achilles, and his passing is just unbelievable right now
After watching most of the game I had only one question, how did the Hornets win three games? They are horrible.
I’m sleep
Meh
Would have had 50 if we weren’t so ass and got him pulled for being blown out so hard.
