8:27 Really smart observation. Jj Reddick said this as well. Because Tatum is not the emotional leader of the team (this is not exactly his fault as both Jaylen Brown and Marcus smart have been on the Celtics longer and are both vocal and talented) he lacks the Kobe-esque ability to will his team to either stop practice or will his team to victory.
The Panthers and the heat have both had the same exact kind of playoffs … Panthers beat number 1 Boston which nobody thought they had a chance and the heat beat the bucks …then they both battled another team they weren't supposed to beat …
Both teams it kinda feels like destiny at this point ….as a lifelong Florida fan I'm just hoping one of them when's the chip and we don't go 0-2 lol
Tatum and Boston weird things just keep happening with them. Something is always off🤔🤔🤔
The whole world is not overlooking the Heat. ESPN Analytics is the one pumping out graphics saying Celtics are 97% to win this series. They are not the whole world.
Even in a bad game he went 9/17 with 30 😂😂
How much y’all wanna bet they ain’t gonna talk about Jimmy saying “We don’t care if you pick us to win” to all the media/analysts
The Heat are simply playing harder and smarter than the Celtics. This has been a Celtics' problem all year and it has continued in the playoffs. It will be their undoing in this series or in the finals. If not, Boston will be one of the weakest champions the modern game has seen.
OH MY GOD STOP USING WHO WON MORE QUARTERS!!!! THE HEAT WON PERIOD!!!!!
Wow a 25 minute segment 😂😂😂😂❤❤
Tatum would be alot better if his team wasnt as good and he had more pressure on himself to do more. Sometimes he just doesnt touch the ball enough and it takes him longer to get himself in rhythm at times. They thought brogdon would help but what it actually is doing at times is taking the ball out his hand. And then it may look like smart had a good game passing the ball and getting assists but it took away from Tatum, who only had 1 assist. Tatum gets in his groove when the ball is in his hands and he is playmaking. Tatum is more trustworthy to win games when hes in his groove and gets into his zone. Trade a couple players for elite 3 and d guys that dont want to dribble and shoot so much. He has Jalen Brown he dont need a bunch of other scorers.
You know why people over looked the heat cause they were TRASH during the regular season. They lost to the hawks in the play in. beating the Milw was them showing they belonged and no 1 doubted them since expect the Media because they had to force a story
Jay will know his basketball dude be spitting facts!
Let’s not ignore the turnovers by Tatum in the clutch
NBA is scripted. Celtics will win in 6-7.
Keep sleeping on Miami and those folks may go to the NBA finals. Boston, y'all better wake up!!!!!
This team doesn't go as tatum goes at all. I cant tell you how many times i have seen tatum have a horrific game against a good team yey because of their quality of roster they still wind up winning. Yet a lot of the times when he has a good game they lose. I would say that they go more as brown goes.
Neither team is a championship team because neither has won it all. Both are contenders but Boston is healthy and better overall. I pick C's in 6
“Wonder Twins Power activate” 😂
Remember y'all, the Heat never win, it's always the other teams who lose. The fact that Jimmy came out playing defense on Tatum while still leading on offense is not even mentioned is mind boggling
What's up with the music in the back??? Can barely focus on what Jay is saying. Unnecessary audio
celtics in 5 or 6
I love my 3% team….let's go HEAT..
I love Alan’s analogy of “showing up in the alley guns blazing” with Bart Scott!
Heat fan here. None of us thought we’d make it past the first round, super proud of the team
apart of our brotherhood
Jay Williams speaking facts .
“His ability to call call timeouts” 😂😂😂 I’m floored 😅
so fire the boston head coach if they lose the series cause tatum is choking lol
Jimmy BuCKetssssss
Lets go 🔥
Notice how Jay Williams is there when Stephen A is out …….
Celtics. Are. Not. Killers. Why fans will always be disappointed. Tatum is a Kobe baby but sometimes I think he's Ben Simmons with a Jump shot
It’s 1 game
i didnt even realize this lady was here until 5mins in as she never spoke lol
Now we can see what ime really brought to this team
0 FG attempts from Tatum in the 4th quarter is crazy. NBA has to be rigged. Idc.
Celtics are just too good 🙃
Woman, ask questions question, then answer that same question as if it's a different one. The Moment they start to jump on the Heat wagon. They'll jinx them
