Joe Mazzulla on Jayson Tatum: “I thought today was a beautiful display of basketball from Jayson. It will go overlooked and it won’t go in the most valuable category….My hat’s off to him for knowing that’s a way for us to win.”

Team ball wins games. Luka puts up empty stats and gets praised. Tatum plays to win and gets hate.
Giving the game what it needs, when it needs it, by whom it needs it from.
Defense. Offense. Playing with force. Playing as a decoy.
We appreciate you JT, you the real MVP.
His defense was amazing tonight. Taking multiple possessions on Brunson and shutting him down. It was needed especially when he did it in the third quarter.
yea joe we know tatum’s style of basketball wins more than fraud luka
I could live without the 4 turnovers, but otherwise great game by Tatum.
That was crazy when at halftime they were talking like Tatum was shooting poorly, when actually he was just not taking shots.
He played average.
If Tatum unlocks being the spot lock down defender on a team’s best scorer on any given night…motherfucker can help this team win multiple ships with this roster
I’m realizing more and more that Tatum is just as good on defense as he is on offense. He has done this a few times this year against SGA and against Brunson just stopping them cold when no one else could. Legit two-way superstar. Plays both ends at a VERY high level.
