Tatum can't make a shot, but he's making the right pass every time tonight.

Seen this right after they get called out...one game the ball moves, the next one its back to the iso crap... need like a 20 game sample before we identify this as a trend.

If he's just average in close games, we win at least 4 more games and we stop the blame game.

TATUM HEARD ME! Can't convince me otherwise.

This is about the 4th/5th time I said this in the game thread but I think the Celtics have played the right way, excellent team basketball all game long. 20 assists on 27 made baskets.

Very, very encouraged by this game. Excellent step forward

Keep playing Romeo

Only good thing I liked about Tatum’s game is his passing has been excellent. He should be making at least some of his open shots but he’s doing a good job passing when the raptors are cheating ball watching and waiting to send an extra defender at him

The good thing about Tatum is he still often contributes in other ways when he is not shooting well (which has obviously been a lot this season). He still is an underrated rebounder, solid defender, and sometimes a good playmaker. Lots of other scorers don't necessarily do much else when their shots aren't falling.

That's a great play right there.

Tatum drives, draws 2 defenders, passes it to a wide open Smart for the 3.

If only Smart and the Celts can do that on a regular basis.

Hiw many games was he the best celtic performer?


We have 10 wins, I think he has 5 VC’s.

He’s been way below par, has shot like crap. But he’s definitely been their best player in 5 wins, and then the losses against the Hawks/Mavs.

hell yeah! nice run there. 9-0 run. some really good basketball during that run.

Kanter playing well, Langford and Richardson too.

keep your foot on the gas pedal - we need this win!
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Why you do Jaylen like that?
