Bump

Jayson "bright lights top 5" Tatum

Eastern Conference Finals games 6 & 7 - Tatum shoots 14-for-40 (35% FG), including 1-for-15 from 3PT. Gets eliminated by a #8 play-in team.

Celtics need a real dawg to lead em, because Tatum and Brown aint it rofl.


Tatum scored 51 against Philly in Game 7 elimination

Its not Tatums fault Philly can't make the ECF otherwise that 51 pter would changes your stat line argument :rofl:

The big fella lives in a world where he has to nit pick negative Tatums stats because his team ultimately overlooked him. It’s basically a deflection mechanism in an attempt to hide the fact that his own team is terrible.

Tatum had a fine playoff run, excluding game 7 where he was clearly injured, he was comfortably the best player in each of his series he played in. Yeah he shot like shit, and he will improve on that, but his all round game was amazing. Passing, defending, rebounding. He needed more help and he didn’t get it.


A 25-year-old "superstar" (Tatum) tweaks his ankle then scores a grand total of 14 points for the game in a Game 7 Conference Finals. As they lose to the 8th seed. You guys quietly give him a pass.

A 20-year aging superstar (LeBron) tweaks his ankle after already playing on a bad foot scores 40 points in a Conference Finals. As they lose to the #1 Seed. People say he didn't do enough.

Just keep the same energy across the board. The homering is crazy.

Tatum came up SMALL in the 4th quarter in most games. Man scored a total of 8 field goals in the 4th quarter in 7 games, and 5 of them came in one game that was already a 20+ blowout 😂

Bro if his biggest accomplishment is beating the Sixers in the second round then I don't need to argue anymore. My point is proven lmao.

Tatum and the Celtics are EXACTLY who we thought they were. Inconsistent, too reliant on threes, and simply not killers. Yeah, they can barely beat a 76ers team that they match up with better than anyone else and who never even get out of the second round anyway. Now the Celtics are throwing a parade for that? Fuck, Kimmy told me the 76ers arent a contender and weren't a threat anyway soo...

Celtics were down 2-3 to the 76ers and down 0-3 to the Heat the following round. They're lucky they made it as far as they did. They're not the unstoppable force that Celtics homers talked them up to be all season long. All their issues in the regular season came front and center when it mattered most.

Let’s not forget he didn’t even play in 2/7 final quarters

And whilst he didn’t score many fgs in the 4th quarters he still put points on the board, rebounded, defended and created opportunities for his team mates.

Keep cherry picking whatever stats fits your agenda though while conveniently ignoring that Butler was a ghost for large portions of the series too.

Butler won though and came up big when it mattered most....unlike Tatum

Let's be honest...the Celtics were insanely lucky to even see a game 7 lol.

Tatum had a great post season. He needs to work on his outside shooting, but other than that he was faultless

And I’d say caleb Martin came up big when it mattered most. Butler rode the wave.

Lol man you will literally blame anyone but Tatum, always.

Forget the fact that he shot 14-for-40 in games 6 and 7, and vanished in the 4th quarter. Somehow he's faultless. :wallbash:

Dude was on one leg in game 7 and still had like 30 points on 20 shots in game 6?

He (along with minor Derrick white cameo’s) is the only Celtic who showed up in pre season. Why would I fault him? He did what we needed of him, it was his support that did absolutely nothing to help him (JB)
