More like you get more for Tatum, Jaylen has more drive to win. Like would you want Joel Embid or Jimmy Butler?


If Jaylen has more drive to win, why does Tatum do way, way more to actually help us win?


Because the game looks harder for him. People assume it means he’s working harder lol, it’s hilarious. Tatum does infinitely more of the “little things” that help you win, that don’t show up in the stat sheet. Isn’t that the definition of “drive to win”?

Again, there’s zero argument.

So the guy who has less drive to win is the guy who puts up all time numbers in elimination games? Crazy how that works.

It’s that you like one player more lol, there’s zero on court argument. Less than zero.

Don't bring up facts or stats. Those are for losers. JB yells more and gets fired up and stuff.

He also does all the "big things" that do show up in the stat sheet to help us win.

It’s absurd after the last three years that anyone would dare to argue about Brown over Tatum.

Brown was flat out embarrassing against Miami last playoffs

But keep reminding us all why nothing’s changed this year …


Boston leads the NBA in most 3s attempts per game.

You can see the panic at times particularly in Derrick white and Horford when they were spazzing with the ball playing 200 mph.

I don’t know how anyone can faith late in games with this team. Time and time you just know they’ll find a way to lose whether it’s bricking on offense with bad shots or letting the other team hit every shot late.

Just hope Porzingis is that difference maker which looked that way when he was out there. Late in games the offense needs to go to him in the post.


Finding ways to lose games late …. despite having to come back from behind in the 4th quarter only to have Halliburton hit a ridiculous shot to go up by 2 possessions.

At least come up with something original.

Am I the only one who thinks that is a Problem??

Or am I just a Hater?? 8-)


Honestly, I'd take tonight's game from Jaylen every night of the week.


LOL, that's because JB can be so much worse.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Jaylen + 3 firsts + 2 swaps for Haliburton + filler. Who says no?

You come across like the old man shouting at clouds kind of guy.

Championships take time and tweaking the roster to obtain.

You really counting out this team this early on in the season is a hilarious take.

Maybe have a timeout and really think before posting next time?

It’s like some on here don’t look at what other teams are doing and forget the regular season is a bit of a rollercoaster.

Bucks lost to Chicago the other night, Miami lost to the Pacers.

We can still look to add another bench guy too which I hope they do.

Think we really lack another calming veteran presence out there at times when the starters are struggling a bit


Couldn’t agree more mate.

The NBA has changed a lot with how easy it is for teams to score nowadays, the final scores we are seeing are just outrageous.

We added two core pieces in Holiday and Zinger, completely changing the dynamic and it will take time for those 2 and the whole team to gel.

We are 15-5.

Bench will undergo some changes but I’d say we are tracking better than I expected to start the season.

Guys, I’m going to be nice to everyone going forward. Even when we disagree, we may as well be hugging while we do. I’ll just have to smoke more weed.

I’m dead serious.
