[Sean Grande] The final Tatum numbers in Game 1 were pretty crazy… In the 7:28 he sat, the Celtics gave up 28 points (-15). In the 45:32 he played, the Celtics gave up 100 (+20). Tatum’s +126 in the playoffs now leads the NBA.

Even when JT’s shot isn’t going in, he plays excellent defense, he’s our best rebounder and if he can stay aggressive to the rim, he’s gonna get FTs.
But basically when JT sat, Indy went on multiple runs. Got a double digit lead in the 3rd when JT was playing, he sits for a few minutes, and boom, Indy makes a 10 pt swing the other way.
…. and if his shot is going in, you get elimination game JT dropping 50.
every minute Hauser plays instead of Tatum might as well be negative 1 or 2 points. lead dropped from 11 to 1 in the 3 minutes Hauser subbed in for Tatum
Wait but I was told he had a terrible game
JT is like Jokic, yeah he has ups and downs
But the moment he sits, the team collapses
He is the backbone of the team.
The only thing that questions Tatum game is his shot selection that’s it everything else I have no issue just his shot selection
Take that Rudy !
It’s almost like he’s the ultimate switching wing, who can cover 2-4 without trouble and can do work on point guards and centers too. He’s bigger than almost anyone else on the floor and carries incredible gravity on offense.
Yeah but the people think he doesn’t ‘have that dog in him’ lol. As if. I cannot wait to rub these kinds of stats in everyone’s faces for a while once we win the chip
Playoff Jason IS a thing
Dude is clearly an overrated bum /s
