Have watched that last shot by Tatum like 20 times. He guarded himself. He went for a step back (surprise) against a 6'2" guy. Unbelievable. Tatum has to find his own game. As long as he keeps thinking he is kobe, he wont show his full potential. Right now he is just a kobe wannabe. That's it. He doesn't play the way Kobe would. Kobe seeks contact. Creates turnovers. Goes to the hoop under COMPLETE control with urgency at the right time. |

Tatum is a great athlete, but Kobe was on an all different level athletically than Tatum! |

I'm not even a coach, but Brown and Tatum should be in actions TOGETHER!
If its passing for a post up or setting picks.
The pick setter or passer needs to be a serious threat to prevent doubling.

I have no problem with Tatum having the ball in his hands in the game's final moments, as long as he makes the right decision.
Tatum's biggest issue is he doesn't trust his teammates. You could tell when he took an airball by Gordon and went the length of the court against 3 Nuggets players back on defense. He missed the layup and sulked for not getting a call.
Tatum could bring a totally new dimension to his game if he learned how to make the right decision at the end of games. As much attention as he attracts, you'd think he would recognize that and make the pass to an open shooter. Instead, he HAS to play hero ball.

We scored 2 points in the last 4 minutes and 50 seconds of the game! Not beating Denver doing that!
The Boston Celtics scored four points in the last five minutes of their Friday night game against the Denver Nuggets.
Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray combined to shoot 29-of-43 (67.4%) from the field, and Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown shot a combined 2-of-16 (12.5%) from three-point range, but Boston still managed to hold the Nuggets to 102 points on the night and found themselves one shot away from overtime.
It all came down to the last five minutes.
They shot just 2-of-10 in clutch time, with their only makes being a Brown layup at the 4:51 mark and a monstrous Tatum dunk with 1:41 remaining.
Four of the Celtics’ eight clutch-time misses were three-pointers, all of which were stand-still jump shots that just didn’t fall—two Derrick White misses, one from Al Horford, and one from Brown.
The other four shots were taken by Tatum, who took just one three-pointer in the second half after a 1-of-7 showing from distance. However, all four of his misses in the clutch were two-point shots.

He feels he has to because Marcus Smart and Ime have left a leadership void. |

Same old Brad Stevens DNA fvck'n story. It's embarrassing. You think Perk is happy to clown the Celtics! |

Kendrick Perkins calls out Joe Mazzulla with hysterical statement: "The bird is gonna start flying backwards" This article is behind a pay wall but I saw it on x
“They have two Joe Mazzullas,” Perkins said. “They have the one that got the philosophy of we’re going to get up more 3s than you. When they hit them, he looks great. Then you have the other Joe Mazzulla, who just stands over there, and you wonder. If you take his brain out and you put it in a bird, the bird is going to start flying backwards. You got that Joe Mazzulla.
“You know why I say that? It’s because he doesn’t get his guys easy looks. Time and time again, we kept saying, attack the paint. You have so many guys that are great at cutting. They cannot continue to play AAU style basketball all the time. You gotta have sets.”

Jokic couldn't care less if he scores 10 points or 40 points, all he cares about is the W!! |

Wyc another year is going to be wasted!
IF we make it to the NBA finals, expect us to get swept if we see Denver.
Denver plays inside out. ESPECIALLY IN THE CLUTCH.

All they blame for their close losses is the refs or make another 3 instead of missing it.
Denial.

What is a paywall on X?. Anyone notice Brown White and everyone but Tatum greeting the Denver players after the game?. Nice show of sportsmen ship . No Boston players speak to Tatum during the games he hasn't a real friend on the team. Brown was screaming get down when he did that pull up on the dunk. Let's face it. He's not a bright player especially during crunch time.just one with talent. Brown and Tatum 2 /15 from threes cost us the game. White should have taken the last shot but like Pud said.. Tatum would have cried Paywall is where you have to pay to read the article. X is twitter I hope Tatum IS mad...at himself

Tatum has reduced his disrespect to the refs but its too late. They are nickel & diming him every chance they get.
No clutch foul calls.
Techs on rim hangs.
Just bullshit

Tatum is not getting moved...not a chance... IDK. Boston don't want to i'm sure Does Tatum have any relationships or is friends with any of his teammates? Don't think so. Is Tatum involved in helping the greater Boston community? I don't think so Tatum sales Ruffles and Subway Subs is all i see. Notice how the other players never talk with Tatum on the court. Horford might be the lone wolf. Will he want out? Maybe |
