The Tatum comment about taking someone random to the gym is so correct seeing this actually just happened with the duke and dutchess of wales with the “wow he’s really good” 😂😂
Of course not.
J-Tate is a moronic guy 😢
The new coach deserves credit, but the playoffs is where that inexperience likely is missed.
Happy they posted this because I did not want too hear 1 min about Detroit Pg situation this podcast is notorious for talking about nothing important but it’s something
Really cool to see Milwaukee and Boston be patient through some down years and both are now the top 2 teams in the league.
Honestly i don't see any huge improvements. What has he improved that he wouldn't do last year. It's his team that has improved and is making him look good. The brogdon signing has been huge. And jaylen brown is a bonafide superstar and is a top10 MVP candidate. Who else has another superstar to help him. He is never double teamed. Luka Steph embiid jokic are always double teamed and still playing more efficiently and better. It's crazy how great teams can make players look great too
He'll still fade when the playoff defensive pressure finds him. The regular season so far isn't representative of where/when he needs to be better.
Just look at the Heat game last night. 14 points wasn't it? Against a Miami team that has fallen off; yet they stopped him enough and come crunch time Butler showed what Tatum doesn't have by comparison.
I remember last year these two named Nets,Bulls,Bucks,Philly and Cavs as sure-fire teams that would go further in the playoffs than the Celtics….
These two just look funny to me.
Chris looks like he’s wearing an instagram filter
Love my guy JT he looks great this season. We NEED to be talking about Jaylen Brown fr he is having a great season- best duo in the league!
Tatum historically has not been that efficient. That's really changed this year.
Don't underestimate the addition of Brogdon to team chemistry. His minutes are down to 22.8 off the bench from 33.5, but his efficiency is up across the board. He's shooting almost .500 from 3 and all his advanced stats are up. And so the BOS bench is doing better. Great trade.
Jimmy Butler is better than Tatum. All Tatum is doing is shooting 3s and praying it will go in
Is it just me or does Verno look like a 19 year old anime boy here 😀
Joe Mazzulla must be a Robert Altman fan, with that sandcastle metaphor.
The Cavs are 2-0 against the Celtics so far. Good but OVERRATED.
He needs to do it on the biggest stage. His performance last year was embarrassing, and Jaylen was better. Regular season is cute, he has a lot to prove imo
Boston is going to win it this season. Their mentality is just so mature.
Their weakness is the MIAMI Heat
When was this magical Taytum run by himself ? Like I’m confused.
