We are a 64 win team and have a starting 5 full of offensive threat and the Mavericks are still sending help/shading and playing boxes and elbows on Jayson Tatum. Twitter doesn’t have to respect him the opposing team will
Robert Williams is set to return some time around Christmas so I think it’s time to remind ya that he’s more than an athlete. Here is Rob being a top 5 passing big

This play to me started the Celtics slaughter of the Heat zone. Jrue tells Tatum to come post up around the short corner and they kinda isolate that side. Him being at this spot makes the double team/stunt easier to spot. Hauser got 3 threes off this. Tatum had a 10 assist game
Only the Celtics can beat a team 4 times then the one time they lose (when their seeding is locked) an entire app is like idk man maybe the Knicks better
Jayson Tatum has 49 assists in his last 7 games. This is the most of his career in a 7 game span. Really showing some things lately and using his gravity
He never gon get true defensive stopper respect just bc in the public eye he’s an offensive player first but I’m telling you guy is a true 1 through 4.5-5 defender when he’s locked in
Jayson Tatum’s defense is legit—particularly as a
#1
offensive option
Excellent strength & K.B.I.F. (Keep ball in front) ability. Tasked with guarding/switching from centers to star guards. BOS’ scheme trusts him—offering VERY little help. And he’s a beast on the D-glass. 2-way!

Not sure how people wanted him to react when he got beef and people coming up to him recording and trynna hurt him. They only acted like this cuz they was in a mall full of people. He should not have shot at them tho
Jayson Tatum had about 10 possessions where he reset his drive and decided to attack instead of settle for the stepback three. This possession stood out to me the most. His constant rim pressure and reads were huge to our success
☘️ Sam Hauser came up huge for us in the Finals shooting 48% from 3
I wanted to look back at the season and show some of the ways the Celtics continuously got Hauser open looks
So here are my favorite Sets/Actions used to get Sam Hauser open shots

Have ya notice most of the times Jaylen Brown gets love from national media it’s always to tear Tatum down. They never can just say how good Brown was they have to say that and ask if he’s surpassed Tatum or better than him
Dalano Banton showed impressive on ball creation in his 20-pt performance last night. At 6'9'' he seemingly just glides past defenders in the pick n roll but is also very patient and good at warding guys off to get his shot off. Interested to see how much he plays in real games.

I promise you if a man sees his girl hustling and getting her bread and not having a problem with pitching in, that 50/50 gon be more like 65/35 cuz we ain’t gon have no problem spending more on a girl like dat
I can kinda see why some people think this way about Tatum because in his earlier years 90% of his impact was scoring the ball. As he got older and more experienced he’s learned to impact the game in other ways and those same people who saw him before haven’t evolved their takes

And just because he plays basketball you think he can’t be a victim to his own fucking feelings and to LIFE. Man lost his mom and 7 of his relatives to COVID but again you have the right to say something like this about him. All he doing his expressing what he went through.
Look how Neemias Queta plays this pick and roll. He’s able to play in between both Wagners not letting Franz make the pass. He backs up to Mo which Franz mistakes as enough space for a scoop. Neemy sends it back
The Mavericks consistently sent two at the ball when Luka matched up with Tatum in this game. Celtics got easy advantages in the halfcourt with fast ball movement and attacks
@HoopMixOnly
Bronny plays the game the right way and does things that aren’t real flashy so the high school mixtape merchants think he’s trash. His game will be appreciated more by coaches than social media. A Bronny growth spurt would move mountains btw
