How is it possible that this is the same James Harden. The contrast between this Harden and game 2-3, are literally two different players.

He just blocked Harden on his drive and is the only one who has stopped him one on one on the team :lol:

0-7 From the field from Jayson Tatum. And people actually believe that he's a top 5 player in the NBA. Yeah right :lol:

Brown should just get the hell out of Boston; no respect for him there

If the Celtics weren't leading the series, the story would be about the disappearance of Tatum again. Apart form the end of game 3, he's had a terrible series.

This is great. Sixers should bring the kid in every game for the rest of the Playoffs if it means Harden will show up like tonight. This is a dangerous game for the Celtics if they lose tonight, back in Boston tied 2-2 while Sixers got the momentum while Tatum going back to his NBA Finals form.

Tatum is like Anthony Davis. Just constant duds all over the place. The media doesn't talk about this with him.

Because it was bs. He went around Tatum's head, throws it up and falls to the ground as usual.

He's protected by having the deepest team in the league by a large margin.

Any other superstar with that team would be on pace for a 3 peat.

Because the C’s can still win games without him. They won’t win a title without him though.

Any day that Boston, Utah, or Denver loses is a great day. Today is looking very promising so far!

The difference is AD is almost consistently great on defense

I don't get why Tatum is so up and down
