Good case in point, but Tatum's +23 definitely meant something. Context is everything.

Nader and Semi have been given a lot of chances to show they’re bad but Yabu doesn’t get any chances.

Oh, and for never seriously entertaining a Melo trade even though some fools on realgm said hey let’s give it a shot.

I was very very anti Melo to Boston... When he scored 60 on the mighty Charlotte hornets, I still was like nahhhh while some guys were drooling lol

By the time he's 25 wouldn't surprise me if he's a legit MVP candidate. So glad we drafted this kid.

tatum has done exactly what most of us thought he would for a few games now, score just like the other guys who have a chance to be THE GUY on their teams. he has it no matter who he plays with. just like the other rookie of the year candidates he isn't going to play well every game but for some reason they knock tatum more when he has meh games. he hasn't had kyrie or brown out there for a few games, what now doubters/outsiders?!

Best game of Tatum’s career so far imo. He did it all and you can tell how much we needed him when he was on the bench and Stevens couldn’t afford to give him much rest. Outplayed the guy who he’s always being compared to in Paul George.

He will be in New Orleans. Or so I’ve been told what should happen. Keep him and Brown together and watch out. Sprinkle in Irving and Hayward and you have something really, really special.

Hayward is probably loving his decision more and more seeing how those two are growing.

Folks wont realize until he throws a stink periodically.. but Brown is gonna have to go before Tatum becomes the monster he's set to become. He's easily one of the most talented wings in the league and should be 2a. to Hayward's 2(pending a full recovery)

I have a confession to make:

I have fallen even deeper in love with a young man. His name is Jayson. I find him wondrous and believe he can do all things.

Brown is a monster himself in a different way. He was starting to show it before he got hurt playing his best basketball. His future is really bright imo.

Oh I've been on Tatum all year long. I get **** nightly on Twitter for my Tatum love. Rozier and Brown I've been slower to come around on, but I'm there on Brown now. Rozier I'm still on that island with Truth, but we keep that boat gassed up and ready to leave the island at all times.

One thing I’ve noticed from Tatum is what I call the Brady eyes. When he is just chatting etc it’s normal. When he’s on the court they almost go dark and lose all emotion. Just stone cold killer type eyes. Same as Brady. No bullsh*t no nothing.

Some ones have that, just it’s rare to see with someone so young.

Rip Hamilton pronouncing the word "especially" as "aspecilee" was making my skin crawl lol

I know this is supposed to be a positive, light-hearted thread but man oh man. Nader is the worst Celtic player since Orien Greene. Watching Nader play basketball must be like watching Sylvester Stallone doing a Shakespearean play.

Sweet victory though!!

Nice one, dude lolol

This players only crap is cringeworthy. Being forcefed Caron Butler was almost as painful for us as it was for him.

Just because they played the game does not mean they should get anywhere close to a microphone.

At least we didn’t have to sit through CW’s Stevenson follies.

Didn't we have a similar stat when we impossibly came back something like down 6 in 30 seconds against the Pacers?

Thats what I thought too :-?

We have kinda done the impossible a few times this year lol.
