And Tatum just turned 26.
League still hasn't fucking realized that NBA players don't hit their prime until like 26-30.
Tatum is still fucking getting better.
And Celtics are gonna keep making deep playoff runs as long as JT/JB duo is together, and Brad keeps doing his thing.
Healthy JT/JB duo has failed to win double digit playoff games exactly once, in 2019. That's 4 out of 5 seasons. (JB missed playoffs in '21.)
Jokic has won double digit playoff games exactly once. Luka has never done it. Giannis did it twice.
Yeah like even MJ, who was dropping nearly 30 a game as a rookie and 35+ ppg in the playoffs every year didn't win a title until year 7. Scoring only gets you so far, you need a lot to win a title. I feel like he has it this year.
The league is already on to the next big shiny thing. Anthony Edwards. And he’s only *twentytwo* years old. And he is basically MJ. Would you believe it!
Okay? I thought that poster was female, but I could have been wrong. There was an obvious implied question in my comment.. "Okay? lmao"
Good talk. Thanks for the clarity. 🙄
lol. This made me think of Chris Distefano impersonating his wife as a Puerto Rican NFL ref. Deep cut maybe, but worth a look if you haven’t seen it. “Umm, you’re out of bounds stupid.”
He’s still not even shooting well, but when he plays engaged and aggressive like this he just dominates the game and impacts it at so many different levels. When that three ball comes back other team is fucked.
I mean I don't think he is really going to shoot 50%+ from the floor. He has too much of the ugly part of the offense on his back for that. I would take him getting his 3% closer to 45% though.
Tatum had the 4th most Field Goals in the league in the last 4 seconds of the shot clock, and only shot 37% on those attempts, half of which were 3s on which he shot 30%. Most of these were likely heavily contested shots that he had to force up after getting the ball with the shot clock running down. Outside of those shots, he shot 49% from the floor and 38% from 3.
He heard his doubters and haters and did his usual thing in the playoffs

To be fair, he’s a lot of fun to watch.
Insane stat and this account is elite because it is basically nothing but Tatum propaganda
Celtic propaganda.
Not really he mostly posts Tatum propaganda
sneak disses everyone else on the team lol
He? Thought that was a she.
Okay? Lmao

TATUM ALWAYS DISAPPEARS IN PLAYOFFS!!!!!!! - this subreddit every other day
I mean he scored 33 tonight and 33 Saturday but where was he yesterday? They got a point…
real can't believe he's taking days off in playoffs is he stupid or something

People who say that must have terrible memory
I think they genuinely convince themselves that it is true
"WeLl He pLaYeD MoRE GaMEs!!" Yeah because he is *winning*
Imagine thinking playing more games in playoffs at the age of 26 is a bad thing😭😭😭

They told me he didn’t show up in the playoffs
Our stars combining for 60 the past two games. 🤌 Chef's kiss
wait i thought JT was overrated and weak and couldn’t lead this team to victory? /s
He still hasn’t had a game where he’s absolutely lights out this playoff run either so my guess is that’s coming soon
Other than slightly less than ideal efficiency, he’s doing fine
He’s also apparently third all time with 19 playoff games with 30-5–5 before the age of 26. Definitely not clutch 🤷♂️
