Jeez these reaches are getting good lol


That's what people do when they have nothing else to talk about.
They can't just give the Celtics credit. That's so fucking boring.
But when you can say ____________________ it's just so easy to have new discussions every day.
Tatum should have said "I think he is better than me" :rofl: Like who the fuck says that shit.

Anyways, Brown has 2 games over 3 assists in the playoffs. Averaging 2.5 assists lmfao. The guy forgets to make his teammates better sometimes because.....why would he when he is left on an island to score on whoever the fuck is trying to guard him.
The guy NEVER faces the top defender. Seriously, almost never.
I wonder why Dallas put PJ on JB and Tatum had to deal with Derrick Jones off EVERY make 🤔 Even when Josh Green** came in, he checked Tatum, so JB continued to be defended by PJ and Luka.
Saw plenty of Jones on JB when Tatum was on the bench though :lol:

When Tatum begins to initiate the offense, the entire defense begins its collapses the moment he creates space.
Brown? Almost never initiates the offense. MAYBE in transition? But he never has to worry about the entire defense collapsing on him.
He sets up where he must to take full advantage of the offense. I wonder who allows him that freedom to just pick his points of attack 🤔

Kidd can say whatever garbage he wants, but it's pointless to lie when your defensive approach reveals your truth.
First thing he has to do is take Jones off Tatum and hide Luka/PJ on him. I fail to see why the Mavs would waste by far their best defender on the Celtics 2nd, maybe 3rd best player? :lol: :lol:
Put Derrick Jones on Brown with collapse defense helping as he begins his drive.
Do that and people might believe Kidd.

I'd love to watch the Celtics with defenses giving JB the Tatum treatment and vise versa. I would LOVE to see Tatum in the Brown role.

You can admit Tatum shows some jealousy with all of the attention and recognition JB is now getting, ya?

I think Corey nailed it though. Kidd is trying to get under the Celtics skin and motivate Tatum to throw up 25+ shots to prove a point. Take the ball out of JB and KP's hands. They know they can win if Tatum is trying to be the top dog. That's the reality, they aren't afraid of him when he tries to be the alpha.

Tatum said. “We’ve been in this position for many years, of guys trying to divide us and say that one of us should be traded, or one is better than the other. So it’s not our first time at the rodeo.”

Wow. It really looks like the Celtics got their shit together.

When people ask me what Luka magic is, I show them clips like this:

Yeah nah the 76ers are definitely better than us. They just got unlucky having to face a godly Knicks team

It should be the 76ers in the finals


Warriors got unlucky too

This is just another asterisk year
especially if Boston wins

How did he show jealousy? He gave a mature response as MT666 said

Kidd’s definitely playing mine games. That’s ok. Bring it on.
