How you think Tatum is still underrated when most ppl have him in the MVP conversation?
As a Bucks fan, Jayson Tatum is a extremely elite basketball player he’s got no weaknesses offensively and a excellent defender as well. With that being said, Bucks has not been playing that good lately at all with or without Khris.
Jason massively overestimates team success in judging an individual player
Tatum is good but simply not athletic enough to win a championship as a gunner. He needs to be the facilitator that his team needs in the clutch to maximize his value to the team
Tatum and Brown remind me of Bron and Wade except they've developed together. Very rare you get a pair of elite two way starters on your roster. These guys gotta win and cement themselves.
It sure is nice having 2 players who can drop 70 points between them on any given night.
Without Middleton, the bucks don't even have an average Wing player on their roster. Having a line-up with three Guards has been burning their defense. Also this year, they have been terrible from 3.
Wow, Jaylen Brown scores 29points and he doesn't even get his named mentioned….guy gets not respect.
The world got to see again how special JT is, player like the best player on the floor tonight and controlled the game like he needs to vs greats like Giannis
I can’t wait for Khris “Michael Jordan” Middleton to come back and help the Bucks. None of these losses count guys without Middleton remember.
I'd rather talk about how the nets torched the bucks
Celtic fans are hilarious. You win one game against the Bucks team that's injured without Middleton and you try to make it seem like Time Lord was dominating the Bucks in the playoff series last season, which he wasn't. He was getting torched by Giannis too. You don't know how good your team is until we both hopefully have full Squads next time that we play. Stop trying to act like you won the championship because you didn't. You barely beat Minnesota the other night, make sure you win your next game against Orlando and not lose back-to-back games against them before you start talking about how bad the Bucks are. At least we can beat Orlando magic at home or on the road🤣
Jayson Tatum is at WORST the 3rd best basketball player in the world.
Huge Celtics fan here. Great game by them. What a way to defend giannis (which isn't easy because he eventually adjusts). Brown is extremely uneasy to watch at times solely because he makes really bad offensive decisions. He needs to read the court AND his matchup better. I'm glad we won because we needed THIS win, but this just goes to show that this team plays to the level of their competition.
Watch all the "they didn't have Middleton" clowns come and comment that
Thanks for putting in hours over the holidays man it’s much appreciated love what u do
Paolo’s what Tatum wish he could be 🎉
wow You didn't mention Giannis improved mid range!!!!!
The only problem I have with Jason Tatum is that when he’s not white hot from behind the arc he’ll regularly have games that he’s 2/11 that should happen with a dude as good at slashing as Jason in conclusion I think he needs to take less threes
Lol no Middleton he’s ass regardless
It’s simple that’s y u don’t rely on 3s too much variance
Bucks got to change the offense and Giannis got to get some go to moves for a jump hook for a left or right hand. Bucks got to be able to hit shots too are they going home early with or without Middleton.
Celtics got a great chance of winning it if they don't play dumb. I'm still dumbfounded how they can score against 7fters but can't finish over 6'8 Wiggins or others smh
Bucks losing big problems is the coach and Bobby porter is playing bad since last celtics playoffs alain Grayson never trust him coach mess up chemistry of bucks Wining roster carter was balling before chris Middletown come back from injury bucks coach bench him reduce his play time joe Ingles is overrate
Giannis has been off all year…. dont know what's going on with him but he's been missing layups and has been a step slow all year
There's not a player in nba as of today playing better than jokic that includes Tatum giannias embid kd all damn 1 then
