How is it the Celtics fault of who they play???
Never seen a team or one player get this much hate any other superstar put those numbers up they won’t say anything Luka scored 30+ on under 50% all the time and they praise him for it. Tatum is in a lose lose situation it seems like. Only other player I can say I’ve seen receive this type of criticism is Lebron
Keep ur hopes up Celtics fans. The Celtics haven’t played anybody worth a sneeze yet. Tatum will choke and get bodied in the finals, he never shows up when they need him the most
Shannon needs his own TV sports show. He is A NATURAL!!!!!
ESPN WISE UP. SHANNON IS AN EXCELLENT HOST.
Why are y’all hating so hard???
You in the media just hate the best team in the EAST that’s what it is! Shame on you!
Kp is not playing
Tatum gotta shoot better from three. Otherwise he's been solid recently
Shannon just a box score and highlight watcher lol so many other areas of the game that Tatum is effecting. Bruh needs to stick to fooseball
Their path to the finals is soo easy they’ll be in for a rude awakening come the finals
~ For Kobe to be Tatum's favorite player, He knows little about the "Mid-Range Game'. Stop fading on Your jump shot, unless you're on the Block. Play more below the Foul Line, because you're not a great dribbler. Play less like "Melo" and more like De Rozan. It might help if Boston had an ex-Pro on the Coaching Staff to help . . . ~
why’s this show lowkey better without Stephen A Smith shouting nonsense
Unc talking about Tatum getting 33 on 25 shots, that’s literally been Luka all year…and Shannon loves him…Luka just as inefficient as they come.
I remember when Kobe missed the only shot of his career, man he was efficient
This can’t be an actual freaking take on tv?!? Guy had 33 and 12 in last 2 games and DOESNT take a play OFF on defense ever. Just actually watch him on both ends. This type of take is insanity, what because he’s 1 or 2 shots under 50%?!? Crazy man.
Celtics have the easiest teams to the finals and somehow they struggle when the opposing team is missing their best player
The Celtics have lost twice in these playoffs and they’re a win away from the conference finals and this is the tone the media has?
Jalen Brunson shot same shot chart game 2-4 y’all called him Top 5 make it make sense
They just a Tatum hater. First he wasn't taking too much shots and being aggressive and now he takes too much shots and inefficient. So much bullcrap and hate for JT. Luka, shai n AE isn't putting up the same numbers are as efficient.
Darius garland without spider took off… stop he was less efficient than Tatum
24-7 the disparity in FTA is absolutely telling
Every one know Celtics going to choke again in NBA finals 😀
a pro laker show not satisfied with the celtics hmmmm
NBA desperately trying to make a star into a superstar and a face of the league.
JT took too many unnecessary tough shots and he continues to do so. He needs to take only good 3 points shots, or reduces the number of 3 points shots.
33 points on 25 shots ain’t gone get it done against the nuggets
Boston is not going to win anything as long as Joe Mazzulla is their head coach. They are not beating Denver, Minnesota, or OKC
lebron got Disney by the strings…
Oh yes he’s the worst and so
Are the celtics……
TFOH.
LETS THE WINS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
The medias coverage of the celtics has been amazing this year. When we win big, thats was we are supposed to do. When we lose, thats proof we wont win a title. When we win a close game, time to nitpick as to why we wont win. It's crazy
Jayson Tatum is the only Superstar right now that can give a team 30+ double double with a win and the media still finds a way to shun him… like what are they even on about
Its so insane that the standard for the celtics according to shannon is: end the game in the first quarter and sit the starters in the 4th and win by 20. Ive never heard something like that before
I think JT makes good plays which more than compensates for his lack of shooting ability.
Celtics played against two top 10 defense rated teams. Like come on. What’re we talking about here? Tatum is fine. The Celtics are fine.
I dont wanna hear none of this when we win this year
Nothing to see here. Just the same old under-praise the Celtics and over-analyze the small stuff. The only team up 3-1 in this series and we need to be concerned.
Bruh I hate the Celtics but they’re winning so what are we talking about?!
Where is Jru???
You did not watch the game to have this take watch the game a win is a win anyway like it's so goofy the celtics won and tatum lead the team in points, rebounds, and assists but he was too inefficient for y'all you legit don't know ball
No more what the Celtics and Jayson Tatum do, yall will never be satisfied , even if they win the championship
💯
they fold under pressure
Theres nothing the celtics can do that will satisfy anyone. They have the best record – 23-7 against the west ? Like what are we doing.
Celtics vs Mavs in the Finals would be interesting
We’re shitting on the east without KP still…
