Legitimately insane that this is how a basketball player processes the game.

The key to being a great perimeter defender in the NBA is to just foul everyone all the time. Your whole career. Develop the reputation, and the officials will let you defend in a way others aren't allowed to.

getting under the second apron is honestly enough of a return to move off of one of them. just not worth being in next year.

Massive props to what Jaylen is doing rn, everyone else has been mid

I think we’re still getting blown out regardless, but this whistle has not been friendly (probably worth 3-5 points so far)

Its actually absurd how much of this game is like “Oh an elite rebounder would help here” “Oh a better screener would be good” “What if we had 1 more guy who could beat them off the dribble?” “What if someone else was covering a huge chunk of the court off ball on D”

Tatum is the offensive engine, the defensive engine, the connective passer, the rebounding big, and the glue guy. Anyone who couldn’t see this wasn’t watching

It's going to look like the Celtics missed a lot of clean looks tonight. But, there's been no pace/flow to the shots they've gotten. Most of these are not in-rhythm shots

Multiple people really went on TV and said the Celtics move the ball better without Jayson Tatum lol

Jayson Tatum is the super team

RIP 2024-25 Boston Celtics, they deserved better

We might set a record for playoff loss differential

“Look at the spacing around Tatum” yea man, he creates that! Look at it without him

People said the title window closed in 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. At a certain point we need to just accept these people are either stupid or moving in bad faith

Charles Kip The people who danced on the Celtics’ graves those years and used rhetoric like “Danny Ainge had all those picks and has nothing to show for it” are the same ones who say Tatum benefitted from a super team his whole career so I think they just have selective memories
