I worry about everyone else against a team like the Wolves.
We saw them in game 6 of the season and the 2nd one in Boston we won in OT and they had no Gobert or Conley.
Jaylen also had some success scoring the ball against them but I feel like they are A LOT better now. Maybe I’m wrong..
White missed the first game, and KP missed the second game, feel like that’s worth mentioning lol. It went to OT, but it was because Tatum destroyed them down the stretch and in OT
He will be fine against Minny, other guys will have to win their matchups though, and the Wolves deep with awesome defenders.
Minmy has definitely gotten better since then, but the Celtics have been at that level all season.

Since we're mentioning absences, Wolves were without Gobert and Conley in the 2nd meeting. Feels like that matters a bit too.

Didn’t that already get mentioned? Lol, that’s why I made sure to say White and KP?

Can't abandon them now. This is when they need you the most.

From what I remember JT made some really tough shots down the stretch of that game. One shot over Towns in particular was ridiculous. He’s obviously capable of that, but hard to rely on it consistently in a 7 game series.
