Basically this. When Brown goes off it's fun because he's a driver.

When Tatum goes off it's quiet because he's a jump shooter and you won't realize the game is over and he had more points and assists and rebounds than Brown and less turnovers.

But none of it is flashy because all his drives are non contact evasive drives, all his shots are set shot or side step and not hard stop and pops that are exciting.

He's the epitome of a quiet 25 and 5 game.


Or a silent 0/7 at the moment


Okay well relevant follow up question, is this the only game of Brown and Tatum you've seen? :lol:


More relevant questions after watching this series, are Harden and Tatum the same players on offense?


Can't say I've seen too many Celtics games :lol: , but most of this series and some key matchups during the regular season.

Almost all of the Sixers' offense came from the PnR so I have no idea why they went away from it.

Joe Mazzulla is a really bad coach and that can't be concealed when you play legitimately good teams

I hate Bostons offense. Transition opportunity? Stop and shoot a three.

I just don't understand that.

Really unacceptable how often Harden has ended up with Horford on him on the perimeter
