I'm going to hear the Sixers announcer saying "NI-YAAAANG" and its echo, in my nightmares.

Plays with more force and will. Makes him pop in comparison to Tatum who's more finesse and skilled based.
Basically this. When Brown goes off it's fun because he's a driver.
When Tatum goes off it's quiet because he's a jump shooter and you won't realize the game is over and he had more points and assists and rebounds than Brown and less turnovers.
But none of it is flashy because all his drives are non contact evasive drives, all his shots are set shot or side step and not hard stop and pops that are exciting.
He's the epitome of a quiet 25 and 5 game.

Back in this shizz.
lol, literally no1 thought Harden was "down and out" just a couple of days after his game 1, lmfao
the issue is consistency, if he only shows up for half of the games and is trash in the other half - the C's are advancing

Is this Boston team gonna win the title taking 50 3s a game? I guess in this era it’s possible.

Tatum so pathetic. One team the two star players show up. The other team only Brown shows up.

Those are crazy open looks Boston is missing

Okay well relevant follow up question, is this the only game of Brown and Tatum you've seen?

More relevant questions after watching this series, are Harden and Tatum the same players on offense?

What is Horford shooting from 3 because at this point there's no reason to guard him.
