Jason Timpf reacts to Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics 106-93 win over Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the NBA playoffs. Jason explains how this was Tatum’s best game of the playoffs thus far, and how the Celtics can win an NBA championship if they defend in the same way they did in Game 3.

Tatum's best playoff game was game 7 vs 76ers last years playoffs. He was calling shots and making them in people's faces.
Noo can you do a film session or something later on top of the Cowherd reaction? Love cowherd but hes not a basketball guy i hate listening to him repeat the same surface level statements for 60% of the vid while u have in depth details behind the reaction w data to back it up:(
Why does Cleveland love surrounding great players with absolute bums. Feel bad for Mitchell.
Man finally uploaded after a win who knew lmao
after a G2 Celtic loss, a 30-minute video of a detailed analysis of every misplay
after a G3 Celtic win, a 10-minute video criticizing their defensive efforts in G2, Tatum bad FGA, & how limited offensively the CAVs are
I'm guilty of watching this Lakers fan take on Celtic & NBA exploits. It's hilarious, nothing as delusional as front-running Laker fans.
Tatum’s biggest offensive problem is he is still settling too much. Multiple times in the second half he opted for fadeaway middies with garland or Mitchell on him.
someone how tatum still shot like 40%. they’re better with less iso, and the dude makes the tough shots misses the easy ones, i don’t get it
Crazy because he shoulda had 40. People will say I’m nitpicking but he Cavs have nobody for him. He did the foul baiting like 3/4 times and shooting bozo threes
The embarrassment of game 2 should prevent a Celtics defensive let-down in game 4. Emphasis on *should*.
Garland can get separation on anybody he struggles to finish.
I'm a lifelong celtics fan and this dude has been spot on. Shot selection and ball movement are sometimes inexcusably bad, defensive effort is so hit or miss. I've watched tatum in the playoffs under 3 different coaches and have noticed the same things every year. He's not a good team leader. Incredible talent, exceptional player…but not a leader. Not mentally tough, and has a tough time letting the game come to him.
I'd be stoked if the C's won a chip behind Tatum, but I'd honestly be shocked. Hope they prove me wrong.
Most of the time he settles for jumpers or stepback jumpers. If only he realizes that his layups has higher percentage of going in than his jumpers. He was being guarded by Garland, Strus and sometime Mitchell. None of them would beat him to the rack. Instead he would do the step back which he missed a couple in G3. And why he gets beat up sometimes? He waits for their defense to settle. He needs to master that first jap step or work on his angle to make his drive more effective. He has got size and height, they switch like everytime and he should exploit those mismatches. Ok, im just a keyboard coach. More power HT! Keep rockin!
I also thought that Pritchard 3 was huge
🔥
So After a Celtic Win it’s “We’re just gonna be short 10 minutes” but after a L it’s a 45 minute breakdown with a follow up video. Your Laker Lover hate is obvious just admit to your bias buddy.
Mailbag: How come Tatum almost never rolls to the basket? Seems like he would be perfect for it.
Brown stabilize the offense
No sweat for me as a huge something span because I always predicted Cavaliers would win at least one game just like Miami did. Always that second one lol. I’m sure the Knicks or the Pacers will win the second game too. That will be it though. In the finals I don’t know yet. It’s the finals you’re going up against the best. Probably go game seven
