Jason Kidd: “Jaylen’s their best player. Looking at what he does defensively, he picked up Luka full court, got to the free throw line, he did everything and that’s what your best player does.”

    Anybody from our top 6 players can be our player on any given night.

    Well well well, if it isn’t some good ole bulletin board material. I was already expecting it but Tatum gonna be playing with extra fire. In seriousness tho it’s genuinely amazing to finally have a team where anybody can be the best player on a night rather than relying on being carried by JB or JT

  3. Happy_Yogurtcloset_2

    Expecting a 50 piece triple double from Tatum

  4. Initial_Dog5780

    Wow I’m surprised they are resorting to mind games already they’re so desperate after just one game.

  5. Boston-Cream-Donuts

    Then why the fuck was the game plan to triple team Tatum which allowed Brown to get going? Dumb ass. I hope Tatum goes off tomorrow

  6. coacoanutbenjamn

    He is 100% trying to fuck with Tatum’s mental

    Too bad for him Tatum is too tough for that shit

  7. Champion-of-the-Sun5

    Jason Kidd is way too smart to believe this, or think it’s a mind game.

    Seems to me like this is a bit of strategy to try to force Tatum to take more shorts. To me, it seems like they’re going to probably be playing Tatum straight up, and invite him to score.

    Also trying to create discomfort between Brown and Tatum.

  8. Who gives af Jason & you send blitzes & triple teams when tatum has the ball

  9. JaylenBrown7

    You think tatum is going to be annoyed by this lmao

  10. Go ahead and stop doubling Tatum off the dribble then

  11. luvvdmycat

    Are you Kidding me?

    Is JT smart enough not to take the bait? Or will he play for stats and personal glory?

    We shall see.

  12. Respect the gamesmanship. If anything, it’s a sign they’re desperate.

  13. You know it’s bad if Kidd is resorting to mind games.

    Tatum has had at least 10 playoff series against teams that are better than this Mavs team, he’s way too battle tested and experienced to fall for this type of stuff.

  15. ChibbsMahBoi

    Nothing could matter less, just get the ring

  16. Seeumleeum

    Jayson “Tim Duncan” Tatum. He’s gonna do the right thing now, not the flashy for the sake of flashy thing. And I’m starting to appreciate him now more than ever because of it.

  17. Big-Package9257

    There is literally no reason to say this unless you’re trying to bait JT. Feels like JT will be seeing the same coverages from Game 1, but I have faith that he’ll continue to make the right decisions.

  18. BuddhistInTheory

    Very savvy of Kidd to try and sow division between the Jays. He knows the only thing that can beat a fully healthy Celtics is themselves. I hope JT takes this as a challenge but also keeps making the right plays.

  19. Psychological-Rock20

    Lool trying to bait JT to force shots eh 🙃

  20. Dangerous_Toe_5482

    Jaylen treats Luka like a traffic cone and Kyrie like a 6 year old girl so this is a fairly well supported take

  21. This is weird because it sounds more like a down 0-3 quote than a down 0-1 quote 

  22. RCP90sKid

    They are in a no-win situation. They start to lay off Tatum, that’s death. They find a way to bottle JB and JT and Jrue, Kristaps, White, Al, PP or Hauser will get ya.

    Lol. This is the most dominant team since those Warriors were peaking.

  23. 69cansofcorn

    alright well triple team Jaylen next game then and see how Tatum benefits from the reduced gravity

  24. Calling Jaylen the best player while double teaming Tatum all game is shameless

  25. Hilarious but playing mindgames on a Celtics team this locked in is asking for a sweep.

  26. LukeKornet

    Wait so they were collapsing their ENTIRE defense on the drives of our SECOND best player?

    Bbq chicken

  27. _mitchard

    Hey if he’s the best player then how bout you double/triple team him instead of Tatum and see what happens!

  28. Music_fiend_19

    Someone needs to Photoshop him on the poster art for that Showtime TV series “Shameless”

  29. InverseMySuggestions

    You can’t convince me he didn’t say this to get in JT’s head.

  30. That reeks of desperation, another great sign for us.

  31. LeftyLoosee

    this the same guy who called his antisemitic point guard “worldly”?

  32. JohnBagley33

    This is so transparent. Maybe Tatum shouldn’t worry too much about what a wife beater thinks.

  33. He’s always been a master a mind games. He made his wife think she was safe in their house for years before beating her up.
