I have seen it in the attitude of the 20-30 year olds I train in medicine.

Paul Pierce was neither mean nor mentally tough until two HoFers including a top 10 all-time player in his prime joined him. Tatum doesn't have that kind of help.


Baloney.

If he had the help Kobe had early in his career, he would have won multiple chips for us.
KG needed Paul as much as Paul needed KG.

Tatum has a lot of all around help. Which is more needed, these days.

KG needed Paul far less because KG was a much better player. KG was a perennial MVP candidate. Pierce topped out at 2 team All-NBA. But that's besides the point and off-topic.

Yeah ummm... see Pierce's entire career before that where he played with less talent than Tatum has for his entire career.

That's just an absurd statement.

Jaylen's production will plummet if the league cracks down on stiff arm moves.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Awful start of the 3rd
Where is the energy?
Where is the defense?
Awful coaching to get them 13-3 run
Joe should have called a timeout 3 buckets ago

Wonder if we’ll take the safety tape off Rob this season and actually let him play starter minutes

Paul was UNQUESTIONABLY the most underrated Super Star of his generation.

It disgusted me then & disgusts me today.

This team is unwatchable at times without Rob on the court.

Can’t believe I agree with Perkins.
