White is their x factor. Tatum shooting the Knicks back into the game.

What I dont get about Tatum is he idolizes Kobe and at times he takes shots that Kobe would never take

Wait…what?

There was a shot Kobe wouldn’t take?


Kobe's not chucking several 3's in a row if he's missing

Kobe didn’t shoot 3s as much back then because the game wasn’t as 3 point centric as it is now. Kobe could miss 5 times in a row and he’d still shoot the next 3 shots.

Call Tatum and Brown Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the way they're getting bailed out.

its the Celtics role players that make that team so great.

White, Horford, Jrue and Pritchard fill all the gaps need for the team

I saw lots of hands on the ball. How could you call a timeout there?
