Yet another way Tatum is playing like a big -- the whole play was delivering an entry pass to him, after which he scored in the low post.

Reminiscent of Kobe.

No more fadeaways over a smaller defender in the post please. He's strong enough now to go through those guys for a layup or free throws every time.

2. Joe Mazzulla has made a slight tweak in the last couple of games to his defensive scheme. He’s started using Jayson Tatum more in the “roamer” role that Rob Williams played so perfectly last season. Tatum is nominally “guarding” the weakest offensive threat on the floor, but he’s really roaming around the paint as a help defender.
In this game, that meant Tatum was guarding Brandon Clarke most of the time. The added benefit against Memphis was that guarding Clarke kept Tatum close to the rim. With Tatum averaging a career-high 1.5 blocks per game, it’s not a bad choice by Mazzulla to deploy him in a different way from being a straight-up defender.
7. Speaking of Tatum…he’s going to win the MVP award this season. He’s been outstanding in all facets of the game. The Celtics should be in the mix for one of the better records in the NBA. Everything has been building to this, but with Tatum getting to the line with extreme regularity now, it’s time. This is Tatum’s MVP season.

Comedian was calling for this when Rob went down at the end of last year.

He's playing this well and he's still only 24. The upper limits for Jason Tatum are pretty much non-existent.

Re: Jayson Tatum Thread: Part Deuce
I am just as impressed by the 1.4 blocks per game as I am the 31 ppg. If he can be a force on both ends it is huge, especially when rob comes back.

One of only three players with 1,600+ playoff points before the age of 25. Kobe and Lebron are the other two.

Don't want to count no eggs, but this may be the first time we have a legitimate MVP candidate since KG.
Of course IT's run will always have special place in my heart

Only Giannis and Jokic should get MVP votes over Tatum
