But it feels good we aren’t super dependent on JB so far like there were a lot of times when Tatum and brown were doing heavy offensive carry jobs. Porzingis addition has been huge, Rob and Al were so limited offensively that it was hurting the team at times due to how much opponents were throwing everything at the Jays. Not to mention Holiday too and improvement from PP and even White looks better and more confident

His issue is probably more of a decision-making one than dribbling.

His dribbling isn't exactly world class either.

Rofl that last play with Tatum sucking in the D and kicking out to a wide open 7’3 dude is hilarious. Have fun this year, NBA

Tatum on pace for 50 pts even when he has three other 20-pt scorers on the team lol. Everybody eats.

100% this. Considering he's (reportedly) very intelligent, you'd expect he'd have this figured this out at this point.

Nice put-back. JT. That's my power forward !
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

If he can set aside his ego & play predominantly off-ball this team doesn’t get stopped on offense.

One thing I absolutely love for the most part everyone is making a quick and proper decision with the ball movement.. It will be impossible to double team Tatum with these type of lineups.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Successful Challenge.

Celtics get the Challenge Back, this year. Up to 2 Challenges, per game.

Lame. Three straight turnovers to end the half. Fails to make it 80. Blow this team up.

This is really physical for a preseason game. Not everything great (missed most of the first half though) but really engaging game so far

That was some truly impressive offensive ineptitude from the Celtics to end that half. Disappointing!
