They can't stop Tatum. If I was the Celtics I'd start every possession with Tatum.

We are +11 with Tatum in, and -6 the three minutes he sat. Huh, must be the substitution patterns!

D, screens, and being in the way is what korny is doing and doing it much better than anytime last season. he's moving well, not doing all that korny kontesting

Missing White in that regard as a secondary ballhandler and creator

He’s having a really nice stretch the last couple of games.

If I was the Celtics, I'd find a way to clone him but with a different appearance and name. Tayson Jatum.

That was a nice substitution, putting Al in for Svi.

Nothing against Svi. But Al is obviously much better. And that substitution allowed us to go bigger.

It's paying off.

They may hold the best defensive rating right now, but they can't stop Tatum.

You can be #1, #2, or #3 defense and it's still no match for elite offense.

If JT continues to go to the hoop like this his game is elevated to another level is the element that was missing go up stuff take the contact and make the shot

I mean I wouldn’t be opposed to every possession starting with him, for eternity at this point. Becoming a great decision maker which I’m not sure I would have thought two years ago

Tatum is on a whole different level this year. Plus, he always starts slow so these are just the lowlights of the season.

Tatum gravity made that lob possible.
