That guy is Jokic, Curry, Doncic, Edwards, Mitchell, Brunson (yes Brunson), but not Tatum. He's simply not that guy. And maybe that's ok. We are like Chauncy Billup's Pistons team. An ensemble of good to great players, without a true star. That worked too.

I don't know what's your criteria of alpha wolf, but comparing Tatum to Billups is just so wrong.

Billups never made 1st Team All-NBA.
Not even once.

You know how hard it is to make All-NBA 1st Team?

Kevin McHale only made 1st Team once.

KG, as a Celtic, only once.

Paul Pierce never made 1st Team.

Just because Tatum does not scream or yell a lot, that does not mean he's not that guy.

Here's Tatum's accomplishments at the age of 26:

NBA champion (2024)
6× NBA All-Star (2020–2025)
NBA All-Star Game MVP (2023)
3× All-NBA First Team (2022–2024)
All-NBA Third Team (2020)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (2018)

lol this is ridiculous. Tatum was clearly the best player in the playoffs


ECF MVP was Brown. Finals MVP was Brown. White had bigger moments than Tatum. Jrue was a huge part of why we won the Finals. Tatum was bricking shots, going 39% from the field and 26% from 3 in the Finals.

Tatum led the Cs in points per game, rebounds per game, and assists per game in that 16-3 postseason record.

And JT played good defense too.

Basketball is more than just scoring.


Yup, that’s why he lost every award that’s his for the taking. Thay’s why he got disrespected in the olympics lol. Fact is, he shot so poor, and continued to jack up 3’s and brick them, missing important shots in the clutch, then Jaylen hitting clutch shots after clutch shots thru out the playoffs, while guarding the best player on the opposite team. Jaylen deserved the awards he got. I thought JT getting finals mvp would have been the best scenario, but he’s just low in bbiq, that he continued to jack up 3’s. The moment he realized, its better to attack the basket, it was too late. If he did that game 1 of the finals, he would have gotten the award without a doubt.

He shouldn’t. He is actually regressing as a scrorer. He might still get 2nd team by default, as others are nit eligible. Contented at just jacking up 3’s to start games. No go to move. Not really that good at finishing shots. Can’t score on contact. Average handles. I can think of about 10-12 players better than him in scoring.

Both of you guys will once again be in attendance at the crow party because JT will still be 1st team ALL-NBA this season.

Luka is not eligible and so is Ja Morant.

You can downplay how good Tatum is, but right now he's leading the team in ppg, rpg, apg, and steals per game.


Yup, on really poor efficiency for a forward at that. He can still be 1st team, as most are ineligible, but he doesn’t deserve it. Damn, he had tons of under 20pts per game on poor efficiency, that’s why we always lose even against undermanned gleague lineups. He doesn’t take over games like what other superstars do. He is about the same age as Shai, but Shai continues to elevate his game. Mixing it up. While JT became a chuckster.

Yeah, I agree with most of what you said.

But here's the thing, JT already has 2 game winning shots, as time expired, this season.
That leads the NBA and he's one of the best clutch players this season.
There's a post above, about the clutch stats this season, that proves that.

While JT jacking up 3s is not ideal, I think he's just practicing for the big moments.

Don't know if you're old enough but Michael Jordan's game winning shots were mostly jumpers.

In game winning situations, you will not get a good shot driving to the basket.
It's either you get fouled or you end up shooting over multiple defenders.

So the only way you get a good look at a game winning shot is by shooting a jumper or a 3-pointer.

I think that's what JT is trying to simulate.

Ray Allen made the biggest shot of his career when he made that game tying 3-pointer of Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals.

We should let it play out.

If by 30 years old JT is still doing the jacking up 3s then it is what it is.
But I highly doubt that.
I think right now JT is just mastering the ability to make difficult shots.

Ive been a celtics fan since 86, and MJ is my goat. JT can simulate all he wants, but the fact is, he is not that good of a shooter. Just watch his form when he shoots. Its not fluid. He can’t just stop on the dribble and pull up. He was a better shooter when he was young. I really thought he would have been an unstoppable force by now. Yet, he never improved. He even regressed. He has gotten bigger but his ability to finish thru contact isn’t there. Just watch him during layups. He misses wide open ones a lot. I guess we just have to accept that this is his peak.

Peak at 26-27 years old?

Give it 3 more seasons.
If by 30 yrs old JT is still playing like this then I will give you credit for being right.

But right now that's a very premature proclamation.

Can't blame me because you have a knack for premature proclamations.

Just like proclaming Ant is the 2nd coming of MJ after the Wolves swept the Suns in the 1st rnd last year.

Just like your wold takes and always contradicting yourself lol. Yeah he peaked already. When your game is on a downtrend, means you already peaked. Of course, he can always be better, but i doubt that happens. He got **** with the awards and the olympics for shooting horribly in the playoffs and the olympics, you would think he would do his best to work on his game in the off season, but nah. He got contented, even regressed. No way he gets better this season. Lets see what he does in the off season. Coz his shooting and efficiency is just getting worse.

Some of you guys are too focused on scoring and efficiency.

Impact and production are also part of what makes a player great.

The Celtic offense runs smoother when JT is at the controls.

We can go on and on regarding this debate.
But our standards will not determine what will be written on the history books.

Once JT makes 1st Team again this season, you and some JT doubters will once again be proven wrong.

Celts starters were super sloppy with the ball, gave up a ton of transition points and watched 92 year old Klay Thompson be the best player on the court for much of the game. We did have moments where we showed some life and threatened a comeback, but then freakin Exum or Dinwiddie would hit a crazy 3 and we sucked again lol. Unpleasant!

But hey the Pritchard/Hauser/Walsh/Peterson/Queta lineup was awesome in the 4th! A few more minutes on the clock and they may have won the dang thing lol. And we just signed Torrey Craig which is pretty cool I guess! And you all are quite good looking I must say!

Knicks Saturday, Go C's!

He can make 1st team, but definitely not deserved. JT at the controls??? He is not even good at playmaking lol. Scoring and efficiency is what you need from your superstar. All the other stuff can be done by a role player. Someone that does everything, but not great on one thing. You would think he would play with a chip on his shoulder. The dude was ready to cry when JB got fmvp. He keeps playing like this, and JB will snatch the awards again if we are lucky to go to the finals again.

Guess you didn't see that no look behind the back pass to Al for the corner 3 that cut the Pacers lead to 2 with 1:12 remaining in the 4th, in Game 3 of the ECF.

You also question JT's shooting form when one of the best shooters in history, Larry Bird, puts the ball behind his head when he shoots.

Just be man enough to admit you were wrong about JT when the time comes because the Ant Man proclamation was really hilarious.

Ok just be man enough to admit that Luka is better than JT then huh!
Also, i’m not wrong about JT. He is nowhere near elite at everything. Still a good player though. I didn’t say antman is like MJ. Nobody will ever come close to MJ. Not even Kobe. Still he is better than JT at almost every aspect of the game.

What are you talking about?

During the playoffs, last year, you laughed when I picked JT ahead of Luka on the 1st Team.

But after the Celtics beat the Mavs in the finals, you retracted and you said JT is better than Luka because JT plays defense and Luka does not.

You do realize your posts can still be seen, right?

And don't lie about not saying Ant is the next MJ because a lot of the posters here read your posts about that.

You also question JT's shooting form when one of the best shooters in history, Larry Bird, puts the ball behind his head when he shoots.

Just be man enough to admit you were wrong about JT when the time comes because the Ant Man proclamation was really hilarious.


Ok just be man enough to admit that Luka is better than JT then huh!
Also, i’m not wrong about JT. He is nowhere near elite at everything. Still a good player though. I didn’t say antman is like MJ. Nobody will ever come close to MJ. Not even Kobe. Still he is better than JT at almost every aspect of the game.

What are you talking about?

During the playoffs, last year, you laughed when I picked JT ahead of Luka on the 1st Team.

But after the Celtics beat the Mavs in the finals, you retracted and you said JT is better than Luka because JT plays defense and Luka does not.

You do realize your posts can still be seen, right?

And don't lie about not saying Ant is the next MJ because a lot of the posters here read your posts about that.


First off, i have never said Ant is the next MJ. You can back track all you want. I never said that, and i’m not lying.
You said that JT is better than Ant because JT has several 1st team all nba, and Ant dont have any. You said your basis is having 1st team all nba selections. Then you said JT is better than Luka, but failed to check that Luka has more 1st team all nba than JT. Haha. Don’t even deny it. A lot of posters have read your posts about that. Haha!
Luka is miles better than JT on offense, but JT is better overall because plays zero D. Antman is a much better player than JT on both ways. If JT continues to play like this, i would trade his ass in a heart beat for Antman.

We can go at this forever.

But here's the thing, you love to throw out false narratives.

It was only against the Pels that you said Tatum is the worst clutch player.

But another poster corrected you by providing actual stats that showed JT is one of the best clutch players this season.

That's clear as day.

Haha. I go for the eye test everytime. If we go by stats, then smart would be a better shooter than Jrue. He did deliver some clutch shots this past few games that we’ve won, i give him that, despite playing meh shooting wise the whole game. Plus i bet a lot of posters here doesn’t trust JT on last shot situations. Oh well, you are notorious for being a green teammer, so lets just end this. No point in going back and forth.

There you go again.

I can't believe that you won't even google the things you say.

Jrue has a career average of 46.2% from the field and 36.9% from the 3pt line.

Smart has a career average of 38.7% from the field and 32.3% from the 3pt line.

So how is it possible for Smart to be the better shooter statistically?

Again, false narratives.
