Talk about a weak statement.
Tatum man... do better...
Tatum is a star talent, but he is not an alpha.
The Celtics have relied on other guys to drive them like Smart and now White
and this is where the Celtics are vulnerable, because championship teams typically are led by their supposed best player or star, not a role player
maybe White is their best player at this moment, but that is not the super team narrative that has been pushed about the Celtics after they added Holiday and KP
Tatum or Brown will need to impose their wills for them to ever get a ring and neither one seems to be that kind of guy. They just have spurts where they dominate, but the same can be said for dozens of talents in the NBA
They might get Lucky like the Bubble Lakers and just have weak/compromised talent almost the whole way through...that way they can coast on their talent without ever having to be tested.
... But then again the teams left in the West are al pretty tough. Out of all of them, Maybe Minny had the best chance to beat the Celts?
I think all 4 of the Western teams can beat Boston.
