well if his shot isn't falling and they lose game 7 you will hear it again. That's how it works on GB

Tatum had a good game, but this is still Luka by far. Luka is taking the Suns to 7 surrounded by scrubs.

I'd trade Tatum for Luka. I wouldn't trade Luka for Tatum.

Because of this monster game? I mean Brown's still had the better playoffs so far.

No he hasn’t :lol: Tatum arguably was the best player in the playoffs in round 1. And that monster game saved the season. I love me some Jaylen Brown but he’s no Tatum. Every Celtics fan who watches both of them would say the same thing, clearly don’t need to hear it from other fans who probably watch a few brown games going off in the playoffs and then judge who is better between the two like that. Since day 1 when he stepped into the league, Tatum is better. I don’t know why this dumb conversation even happens at times just because Tatum has an average game

Lol this is the type of thread that will carry on for years getting bumped after big games from each player.

Not biased at all...

Oh wait...looks in the mirror :lol:

It's going to hopefully be a debate for awhile I hope.

Just asked a question because it was not clear for me. I don't root for Celtics.
I watched 2 games of this series against the Bucks. In these games Brown was better.
Tatum had a big game tonight, nice for him and I like him.

He also singlehandedly lost his team Game 3 which is why they were facing elimination today in the first place. This playoffs so far specifically, I think Brown's been better though I do agree with you that Tatum overall has shown more and is better.

I don’t like either of these two but how is this a comparison?

Luka is carrying a bunch of nobodies.

Tatum isn’t even definitively the best player on his own team and he’s surrounded by talented scrappy players. This thread shouldn’t exist.

Ok so Tatum has been better than brown in games 1, 4, 5, 6 this series and all of the Nets series yet brown has been better overall? He also has way more attention defensively from the opposing teams, just watch the games more clearly to see the defense in how they’re guarded. I think youre putting way too much emphasis in 1 bad game to say one is better than the other. I’ve seen all of Tatum and brown’s career and Tatum is the better player without much debate. Brown can have games here and there where he’s better but that’s expected as the clear 2nd best player on the team.

Luka is so good that people think it’s an insult to brush off Tatum in this comparison but it’s really not. Luka is goat level offensive player. Tatum is like current 5-8 range of league. Absolutely elite but Luka just all time.

The 'not even close''s in this thread makes no sense and has zero grounding in reality when you look at the numbers and results

Dallas supporting cast is better than people give them credit for. That said they (including Luka) have won zero road games this series and have got blown out badly in two of them. Let's see where they are in a game 7 on the road

I doubt Dallas would get as far as they are if you swap Tatum for Luka. Now if you put Luka with Celtics supporting cast, easy win for the Celtics in this series and we wouldn't have this discussion.
