The 3-ball is starting to heat up and this is the best he’s ever looked driving to the hoop. Firing on all cylinders this year.
Don’t forget the passing, oh the passing
That dish to Walsh was beautiful
Assist game Houdini
Certified Point Forward
He’s finally figured out how to consistently get to the free throw line. There’s an art to it. Pierce was very good at it.
Prime Pierce could get to the rim/line basically at will. Tatum has the some of that craftiness in him and it’s starting to get to that next level
him FINALLY doing that straight up off-dribble mid range shot rather than going for those off balance ones, that he used to spam, has opened up his chances a bit more, with defenders having to brace for him going up more, rather than continuing with his momentum.
D white looked great too.
Always looks great but shot the ball well too
He is a sexy dude
As a woman I find D White sexy and a cutie. I find him much more attractive than your guy SGA.
Not at all
Eye of the beholder
Eye of the buffalolder
You don’t know ball
Our non stat padding king
Monster game from JT
Sad how nobody cares when he balls out but will flood these posts when he has a bad game lmao
He’s like the weirdest dude in the league to hate too lmao. He just plays basketball and stays out of bullshit.
Dudes in the league are domestic abusers and terrible people and get less hate than JT for being corny
The funniest part is that you know the people calling him corny all over the internet, are definitely corny ass dudes themselves.
Cause he’s on the Celtics
That’s all it is, really. JB got a ton of hate on the Celtics, the left hand memes were non stop. He goes to Philly and apparently he’s the greatest player ever who is undervalued lol.
All of a sudden he’s top 5 in the league despite never having a SINGLE 1st team All-NBA.
Seriously, how does that happen other than leaving the Celtics? lmao
If you think this is the way it is then you are delusional. Sure he got a bump for the Celtics trading him away but nba fans hate the Sixers as much if not more than the Celtics. He’s still clowned and once the trade hype is gone he will get clowned more than he ever did as a Celtic. Tatum gets clowned for texting Kobe and for “we did it”. Those two moments were some of the most embarrassing moments in the last decade of nba basketball and they were moments that Tatum calculated and chose to create thinking they would be legendary moments. That’s why he gets made fun of. If he was a Sixer there would actually be so much more hate on him though.
The only bullshit he got into is the JB drama and even then he only spoke about it ONCE lmao
yeah but its all lamb chops and gravy. (i swear that was the weirdest thing ive ever heard a pro athlete say about another man.)
AND HE REPEATED IT MULTIPLE TIMES
brother it’s clearly a joke going on from beef to other random meat. brown has repeatedly stated he has no issue with JT since they played together since they were both rookies and won a title together. he’s even mentioned tatums kid and their relationship. it’s the organisation he doesn’t like. i’m sure they’re not best friends but i don’t think they have any real animosity. i’m not even a sixers fan and it’s obvious to me that there’s nothing in it
Don’t forget loves being a dad
dudes a HoF lock at 28 and he literally missed a whole season due to an achilles. Unreal
Hello my Celtics flairs!
PG is a better fit than Brown in Celtics
Unfortunately it seems like brown needed to be humbled just a wee bit. He seems way more willing to accept the 6ers are maxeys team than he ever would accept the C’s are Tatum’s team.
This is exactly my feeling as well.
He gave an ultimatum and drove himself out of Boston, and then instead of it being a trade for Giannis to take over his own team in Milwaukee, he’s now in Philly competing with Maxey, Embiid, and Lebron for top-dog status.
If he’s half as smart as he thinks he is, he realized that he’s not just not as valued as his salary and accolades suggest.
Which is why he’s accepted a relatively reduced role now in Philly.
He’s never gonna be top 6 MVP candidate ever again in that type of situation.
“Drove himself out of Boston” alright bro lol
You clearly haven’t been paying attention
Yet I don’t expect a Philly fan to keep tabs on Boston sports the past decade so how the fuck would you even know?
Saw Jeff Teague talk about this. May be as simple as JB was a Celtic first idk
I think this is 100000% it and makes complete sense lol
Nothing about being humbled. What a weird comment
Found JBs burner.
People on here think building a team is NBA 2K where you just try to get the highest overall players you can. Anyone with half a brain knew PGs skillset complimented the Celtics roster and system better than JBs, but everyone just likes to box score watch.
Most people I heard talk about the trade said that PG would be a better fit, the question is can he be healthy enough for it to matter
Yeah I’m Celtics fan, happy to see PG do well doesn’t really matter tho until May/June. Is he healthy then. We’ll see
and also if he can step up in the big moments if tatum isn’t playing well or is injured. he did well on the sixers last year but we’ll have to see if he can be that secondary superstar like how kyrie was for lebron
? it’s working out somewhat for the sixers being the 2nd seed overall with embiid maxey and lebron. the best players will always find a way to work together if they put egos aside which brown has shown he’s willing to do. the main reason super teams haven’t worked in the past has never been talent but guys buying in and ego. kd bought into the warriors system and they won 2, 3 if they didn’t have klay and kd go down.
We’re talking about the Celtics. People thought the Celtics would be worse because JB has a better overall rating than PG without thinking of how the players actually fit together. How PG enables Tatum, spaces the floor, what he brings on defense, etc.
this is completely revisionist history
What
Everyone and their mother was freaking out abut what an incomprehensible trade the Celtics made
PG just understands where he is at in his career and role wise this isn’t a slight on JB but just how it is
He’s been great. My only complaint is a relatively high turnover rate but he stays calm and will lock in at end of games which is a bit surprising
I was (am) worried about his health but I don’t think anybody’s questioning he can still hoop
Still too early to tell.
We won’t be able to tell until the playoffs realistically. I like PGs fit in general, but the lack of rim pressure outside of Tatum might bury us in the playoffs
Better fit for Tatum to get his MVP. But not a better fit for winning an NBA championship.
It’s all good in the regular season
Until a game arrives where JT is off and PG isn’t capable of collapsing the offense or creating
Pritchard usually scores 50 in those games
most teams are a shell of themselves when their superstar is off
He did just that vs the Bucks. Do you watch games?
The bucks suck…
I don’t disagree
Yes. It was against one of the worst teams in the league and he hit 5⁄9 from the 3 which carried his scoring and highlights my point - dude can’t touch the paint and can’t break down defenses. He had a good shooting game and has been playing well but it’s not the same
Give me a game where JT is out and PG has to create, but if he created it’s actually because of something else…trust bro. Just let me move my goal posts in real time.
You might want to look at JB’s record against top teams last year lol (Hint: Against top 3 teams on both conference, we got only 2 wins last year and 1 was after JT returned). So, whatever. It was always like this, no JT no playoff win or win against top teams anyway.
Idk why people get off so much whenever he has a down game. Love JT.
Yeah, I’m thinking JT’s back.
In only 29 minutes.
So have the Cs basically already clinched any tie breaker in the Cup lmao? +53 in 2 games already is pretty crazy.
Yea he’s really really good.
Top 10 all time and im a philly fan
EEEEEEEEEEEEEE Z does it.
woah let’s slow down a bit there 😭
Hold on, he might be onto something here
yeah! let bro cook!
Aaand he burnt it
nah hes right
Disrespected players of their era? Absolutely.
No shot bro. If he’s all pro few more times and wins another couple rings then sure
Respect
Bro what
Not at this moment lol he would probably have to have a no brainer mvp and finals mvp at least (in addition to what he’s already done) to even start the convo lol
agree, and I’m a 50+ year Celtics fan
That’s absurd but he is the man
top 10 all time and im a soccer fan
Top 10 Celtic?
But when he gets his hair cut…
Lmao yeah right buddy
IN JUST THREE QUARTERS
Where were you when some “fans” acted like his career was dead after one bad game in Detroit?
On Reddit hailing him as the best player on the planet still
His career isn’t dead but he’s no Luka.
You’re right. Tatum actually plays defense and is a champion.
Brown carried Tatum to that chip. Robert Horry, for example, has 7 rings and actually made a difference when it mattered - so Tatum not even Horry levels of success. Any schmuck can luck his way into a ring.
Any schmuck? Luka hasn’t
I really hope this is ragebait
Luka will never be a winner so you’re right, they are not comparable.
MVP
God those Gimmick Cup Floors are hideous!
so bad
When Tatum looks effortless in his jumpers, your team is in for a long night. If you didn’t tune on the announcers, it’d feel like a Tim Duncan 30. One of those where you look up and shit, dude has 30 already?
The GOAT 🐐
One of the few dudes not suffering from the rule changes this year
No one outside of Massachusetts cares brother
..oh no, nba game highlight got posted to the nba sub.
Things are getting crazy, get the mods on it!
not a tatum or celtics fan, but 34/9/8 in 3 quarters is pretty great and worth noting on a sub about the NBA
If he played the rest of the game, he would have probably had a 40 or 45pt triple double. It’s worth mentioning in an NBA subreddit don’t you think?
Hornets fan talking like anybody cares about them outside of Charlotte.
People who say brother like this are all cops
Theory checks out.
Forgot Reddit hates all law enforcement because everyone of them is racist and unjust.
We should live by the honour system instead
Oh no he don’t know ball and he licks boot 😞
What’s wrong with the police? You don’t want people to help you in emergencies?
You cared enough to open it and leave a comment…
I’m from CT and I care
Good point, we need a 37th post about Luka Doncic instead.
