Could Olympics have negative impact on Jayson Tatum’s Boston Celtics season?
The NBA Cup schedule has been released, along with Boston’s opening night opponent, so we take a quick peek at that before a Jayson Tatum-heavy mailbag. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal answers questions about a potential negative impact on Tatum’s game and a possible redemption for him and Jaylen Brown. Also in the mailbag: Derrick White’s contract and the framing of the discussion around that and potential changes for the MVP award.

Not likely, unless Tatum gets into his own head and loses his confidence, or overcompensates and plays more selfish ball.
It depends on his mindset I guess but he’s shown the ability to fight through negative experiences. He will continue to grow and improve, he in my opinion is still a good 2 years from even hitting his prime. I expect a big jump from him this year and a big jump next year when he enters his prime. Exciting time to be a Celtics fan. ☘️💪😊
Nope. He turned the corner after helping secure Banner 18. He’s going to have a season for the ages. Watch. 👀
Steph Curry averaged only 7.2 ppg in the first 4 Olympics games. In perspective, I don't think anyone should panic over Tatum. Let's focus on #19.
Tatum keeping it classy. Congrats to him and Ella for their new baby meanwhile.
tatum benching twice,it's a big motivation specially jalen brown.watchbout!for this 2 guys they are like a wild young stallions at the start of 2024 2025 season.
MVP is fine as it is. NFL has to have those distinctions because they have line-ups for offense and defense. NBA already has citations for statistical leaders, scoring champions are always recognized.
