Jayson Tatum Breaks Down Final Shot in Celtics vs Hawks | Postgame Interview
The final play in regulation uh Matthew foul you because they had a foul to give what were you looking for in that last play when you took the three uh F opening he came uh Drew came in uh brought his Man In Action they switched
Uh you know it was only like six seconds left trying to get a clean look hold it for the last shot make sure they didn’t get a opportunity to get the ball you like the shot or could you gotten closer driven any second thoughts five seconds I called it a half
Court H sight me you always could go back and see a lot of you probably wish you would have done differently especially when you lose how do you feel like you fared in those spots this year those last shots to you know go ahead tie game you know down one down two
Where do you feel like you’re at when running those sets yeah I mean I know I missed a couple this year so I was like damn I gotta be do for one uh I hit a bunch of them in my career so far but
Uh you know it’s part of it make him his lead but uh I really do enjoy being in those situations the one to end overtime you go through KP and the post Jaylen ends up getting that one off how’d that play come together and you know just
Taking a different approach there do you think that was beneficial uh yeah I mean we had it’s four different options um D white through the KP we just know whoever got it we wanted to go quick soon as KP caught it I just ran down I
Thought he’s about to shoot it so I could try to get the offensive rebound uh and you know JB made a big shot so you know Drew Joe just drew up a play we had four or five different options and KP just had to be the first
One what do you take away from this game uh good game you know back and forth did a lot of things well things we could do better get them some credit they play well his shots obviously Murray played a hell of a game um and get ready for Saturday yeah Jason
The offensive rebounding what can you guys do to change that to that probably meant the game they got a lot of Second Chance points what can you do to improve the off the defensive rebounding uh we just got a it’s Collective effort right maybe this was a good reminder right
That is something that we got to emphasize that don’t take those things for granted um you know those are sometimes the difference winning and losing so uh just bringing the extra awareness to it uh putting the body on your man and going to get the ball are these experiences valuable the top five
You guys together for the first time since March 7th and playing in clutch situations uh yeah certain we going to have a lot more close games on this playoff run so get ready for it since halftime of that first game Atlanta’s defense has been really intense like how
Are you seeing them figure out anid without Trey it’s kind of a more high pressure defensive team and someone you could see potentially in the playoffs what kind of challenge are they presenting yeah I mean they essentially kind of like uh getting ready for the play in right
They they you can see their their energy level uh every game is extremely important I you know I guess that’s what uh not I guess I know that’s what the playing was meant for these last games um still have meaning and value so uh
You know they uh they won three in a row now I don’t know if they won before we played on Monday but uh they just all on the string and they got some uh guys that they’re bigs they you know handsy and agile and they got some guys on the
Wing that can uh you know play physical uh so they just been real connected lately what do you learn what has this team learned about itself in this trip this two games that’s blowing a 30-point lead tough is it can you take a positive from this
What have you guys learned uh winning is hard and we’ve been fortunate enough to do a lot of been on the other side and uh just a good reminder just can never take those for granted every single night is going to be tough and just get ready for Saturday

It’s time to move on from him he’s too soft your telling me he can’t do what Murray did 🗑️🤬
Somebody gift Mazulla a copy of The Art Of War … this shiz is SO PREDICTABLE …
Maybe he’s saving all his genius plays for the Finals … ?!! 😬🤷🏻♂️🙃🤦🏻♂️
Playoff mode is real
No chance For MVP
“Due for one”? Cmon man… that is not it. Give the rock to Jb in those moments cause the numbers dont lie… sorry JT you are not clutch at all. Every time i see that damn fadeaway it makes me nauseous
Those iso fadeaways are the stuff of nightmares. Holy fuck. Dude got the worst shot selection in the clutch 😂
Soft as Charmin
Jay " dont call me larry legend, hondo, sam jones, pierce " tatum. Great guy but not clutch late
It should be a pick n roll and JT take a mid-range or just throw the lob to KP off the pick have to change it up its getting old your not making that tough shot you been trying for to long and it haven't went in run off the screen and shoot a mid-range shot or lob to KP or give the ball to KP on the block
Tatum stop SILDE-STEP THREES, ISO & HERO BALL
YOU ARE NOT CLUTCH MR. TATUM! STOP TAKING GAME WINNING SHOTS! YOU JUST CAN'T! I'D JUST RATHER HAVE HAUSSER SHOOT IT THAN YOU OR LET JB TAKE THAT SHOT.
You never missed a couple of last shots this year. You have never made a last / winning shot in your entire nba career.
Celtics aren’t winning anything if they keep giving Tatum the last shot. He takes the same wild shot every single time
Stop talking bad about him 💀
Not a Celtics fan but man I believe in JT!
We need short hair Tatum back😂😂😂
Drive
JT when we need the winning points you buckle 😣 come on ! That would have won the game. Coach needs to draw a different play in such an important moment
Don’t let these doubters get in your Head JT, this is apart of it, team trust you to make those shots you gotta be willing to take em and also live with the results when they don’t fall! You’re real Fans believe!
I'm starting to dislike this guy…
Cmon jt we need you to be a killer out there. JB has honestly been the dog on this team, but we need that energy from you both. I hope Wes matthews and Fernando bodying you up isn’t a preview of the playoffs. I really hope we are just playing at like 75% and we have toned down the physicality because this isn’t it.
Stop giving this man the final shot! That was the worst shot I’ve ever seen a fade away three HORRIFIC and every single end of the game shot is the same! Give it to jb, jrue, d. White, anyone but JT for the worst shot possible. 😡 Whether it’s 24 secs or 6 secs on the clock he’s gonna dribble the air out of the ball and put up an awful shot.
Tstum i love you but you absolutely NEED to develop a go to move you can use at the end of games/quarters
Are we going to be playing them in the play in ??
Might be the most unclutch player this league has ever seen
JT blew it again just like he did against the lowly hornets. FFS Joe you need to STOP giving the ball to this guy for the buzzer beaters….this is why Larry Bird was better…way better.
Ugh, you know
Just FYI. We the Celtics wanted to, and gave ATLANTA, these two games to help bolster their wins to get them in the 8 spot, so we can play and sweep them in the first round
JT is terrible in last second shots. Stay away from him on those.
U wanna be a nba champ Jt start making your shots in the clutch it’s that simple man HELP brown
