I don’t think so Tatum is him player

@safetymail1068 23 дня назад

They're going to double luka, put Tatum on kyrie and it's pretty much over. Jrue and white double team pressure is better than Wiggins and Poole double team. I fancy the mavericks, but celtics have too much size for them. Celtics in 5

Tatum can’t guard Kyrie

They put too much make up on Tim.

No one is talking about Jrue Holiday.

Everyone on both teams have the most to lose. Period.

I would rather give the ball in crunch time to JB rather than JT. Brown is a better clutch player.

If the Celtics lose in the finals then it’s gonna prove my point that he’s on the wrong team or better yet Tatum & Brown just can’t get it done together 🤷🏿‍♂️

@brandonmalone5460 24 дня назад

I'll go a step further on what Stephen said, If Boston loses period, drastic changes will be made in the summer. Mezzula may be FIRED, Tatum/Brown will be Split Up, There will be a completely different team next year if they don't get this done now.

The team winning should be all that matters. All this talk about individual performance is sickening; it promotes individual play that doesn’t help the team. The James Harden/Lebron/Westbrook formula doesn’t work.

@carlosleger8475 24 дня назад

If the Celtics win, they won’t give them credit, they’ll just say “can Irving and Doncic win together”?

Pressure is on Mazzula. If we still had Ime Udoka we might have won a chip already

If Tatum doesn’t win the FMVP but wins championship. We just have to readjust what level player he is. Nothing wrong with that. Not every player is best in the world or whatnot. Right now, he battling to be best player in the world…if his ceiling is more like 2019 Paul George then that’s fine. Public is just trying to figure out what is Jayson Tatum.

@arbitScaleModels 24 дня назад

This is what's going to happen. J&J will put up 50 threes a game. If they are hot, they win a chip. If they are cold, they will have no plan B. That's why they get the criticism, because they don't live up to the hype. But they might get lucky, once.

@hdeodh 24 дня назад

this take is funny... Lets be real, even if JT loses the finals, he will loses nothing significant. .. i he will still sign a $320M+ contract, one of the largest in NBA history... He will get sponsorship deals and make a fortune... at 26, the dude is winning at life.

If the Celtics blow another Final run Especially with this team I don’t know what I’m gonna do

@sonnyking1218 23 дня назад

I don’t trust JT he had a lot of big moments over the past years and he chokes. He doesn’t feel like a superstar yet does put up the numbers. The Celts has always been the favorite in the east for years now always had that image of being a strong solid team that can win it all

@jermainerodgers 23 дня назад

Dont focus on tatum. Dont forget the celtics have Brown , Kp , white, holiday . All 2 way players

@ROCKBETHENAME 23 дня назад

So Luka doesn’t have any pressure huh? 5x first team all NBA but no pressure??? The media really loves narratives smh

@zockey99 24 дня назад

Luka is the best player but celtics are the waaay better team. Luka is gonna get his regardless weather they win or lose but if tatum loses with this stacked team then they will probably break JB and tatum up
