This isn’t a huge surprise, though I’d have thought IT would have maybe gotten it.

Following up on the topic on the GB, I’d probably rank him 9th, but wouldn’t argue with anyone who has him in the 11-13 range either.
Yeah agreed. He's around 9th in my mind, maybe 8th. It's just hard to know when it's reasonable to move a young fella like JT ahead of vets who've been doing it for longer and have the reputation of a top 10 player.
Looking forward to his multiple League and Finals MVP awards but I guess I have to be patient.

It’s one thing I will say about the GB, outside of a few stragglers, almost everyone is crazy high on JT.

So it’s time for an actual breakdown of JT’s game, I like contributing something other than gif’s every now and then. It’s LONG, so will put it in spoilers
I’m going to do one on Jaylen as well, either later tonight or tomorrow. Pretty fun to do under the influence of edibles, though a bit difficult to maintain my focus lol.

2x in the same month, so Player of the Month has to be a consideration. Unfortunately, the month did also include those back-to-back games in both of which he shot 3-17 with 5 TOs.

Ended up averaging 30/9/5 on a 62% TS for the month lol, crazy. Team went 11-4 in the games he played as well, I believe. Westbrook or Randle may get consideration, but I’d guess Tatum will get it.

I am not really a stat guy, rather like watching film, but this was a nice read.

Julius Randle beat out Tatum for Player of the Month. Celtics lost one more game than the Knicks in April.
EDIT: Both Tatum and Randle went 11-4. Cs lost one without Tatum.

Think Tatum probably got penalized for having a much better second guy than the Randle has.
30/9/5 on a 62% TS for Tatum
27/9/6 on a 57% TS for Randle.
But Randle is kind of an awesome story, so oh well.

Randle with significantly more boards and assists and better defensive rating.

Tatum averaged 9.1 boards a game in April, Randle averaged 9. Don’t know where you got that “significant edge” from, though his 6.3 to 4.5 assists is a pretty big edge. Had a net rating edge of +7 to +5.1 as well.
3 more ppg on a much higher TS for Tatum, and their teams had the same record in the games they played. I didn’t say Randle wasn’t deserving, just that Tatum got penalized for having a better second player than the Knicks.

Yeah, I was lazy--just looking at season averages.

Yeah that was a great read, Comedian -- even if I clicked on the 'spoiler' totally expecting some sort of gag gif, and was disappointed when I actually had to, you know, READ. Good stuff!

Over the teams last 15 games, and Tatum’s last 14, he’s averaging 31/9/5 on a 62% TS.
My favorite part, is that he’s taking 7.8 free throws a game in that time.

So next year a full season and hopefully no Covid like missed time. I don't see why Tatum couldn't get near those numbers full-season (hard I know)
and IF he did, he would have to be top 3 MVP Right??
