This team is so fucking fun, Marcus Smart told Tatum to go for that steal on the tip and it worked. Kemba struggled mightily early but they let him keep shooting and he came up big late. What a fun team to root for, FINALLY. We all loved those years with IT, Kyrie made us miserable and we're back to enjoying Celtics basketball finally!

I mean Family Guy technically welched his leave the forum bet with me but I don’t hear you say a thing about that

Then again you are selective in your bias so it’s really not a surprise

“I told Jayson on the jump ball, go for the steal,” Smart told reporters postgame. “You know they’re tipping it back, as soon as the ball touches his hand, just take off, you’re going to be right there for it.’ He listened and he got it.”
“Smart told me the whole time, ‘They’re going to tip it back, you gotta shoot the lane. Listen to me, listen to me,'” Tatum said. “I listened to him and it worked.”

LeBron has made a career out of scoring 10-15 points per game on drives. Not saying that he is LeBron but it’s obvious that if you have the ability to drive you should be taking those opps. Higher percentage shots from 0-8ft from the rim, Giannis outscores Harden per possession even tho Harden shoots 3s because Giannis converts at such a higher rate


Like I said, Tatum is not good at finishing at the rim... so how are these easier points for him?

The 3 is a far more efficient shot for him. I'm happy for him to take nothing but open 3s with the occasion iso post jumper when required. He isn't good at getting to the rim other than in the open court.

Wasn't it by your own admission that you welched on a leave the forum bet? correct me if I'm wrong

Tatum should be trying to get the highest percentage shots he can, and to put it in plain English he doesn't do that because he is undisciplined in his shot selection

He needs to stop with these stupid pull-up/layup/floater as soon as he gets in the paint....he is just throwing garbage up
Put your head down and absorb contact ffs...it's like he is scared

His finishing is SO BAD but it's great that he can get to the rim pretty well (either hand)...he really needs to bulk thou
