Tatum is playing a hell of a game on offense and defense. This is what it looks like when he plays like a top 5 player.

Tatum playing one of the best defensive games I’ve seen from him. Locking KAT up, switching onto Brunson and great help defense/passing lane jumping.

This series should really be ending tonight in a sweep for Boston.

Yeah if you guys ever decide to run him out of town, we'll gladly take him off your hands :lol:

Just been amazing defensively, looks like someone showed him my post saying that OG is an even higher-level defender :lol:

Now do the 15 FTs ya got


Knicks have shot more free throws this series by a wide margin.

Even if you remove all of Robinsons “hack a Mitch” free throws, you’ve still shot more.

I don’t want to hear any complaints about free throws from Knicks fans

Feels like BOS should be up double digits with Tatum finally showing up, but they are only up 5

Tatum needs help. Jaylen Brown and Boston’s role players need to do more offensively.

Celtics shoot twice as many 3s, what would you expect when it comes to FT margin? That’s literally how your team plays ball

Doesn't it seem like they allowed more physicality in the 1st round series than 2nd round?

White's defense is a bit overrated. Brunson can either blow by him or back him down, shouldn't be able to do both.
