For most of this month, yea - but April is looking a lil tough for them (also 3/28 vs Dubs will be of interest)

Still cant believe we had a thread saying the Celtics screwed up giving Robert Williams a 4/48 contract

Other top teams in the East better wish the Nets will never get 100% of their players on the floor together and the vax requirement in NY will not be lifted in time for the playoffs because a healthy and complete NEts team is scary af

This is shaping up to be a KD vs Tatum battle and I'm here for it.

Tatum 1st team All NBA this year? He is definitely making a late push for it.

The overall talent level is a lot higher than in the 90's, but one thing about 90's basketball was that if there was a nationally televised game, you pretty much could count on the stars to actually play in the game unless they were like out for the season or something. Turning this game on and seeing that the only big name not playing is Ben Simmons made me so happy; but it reminded me of how rare this has become in today's game. You see a lot of guys totaling in the 60's and low 70's in games played, whereas you used to see a lot more 82's.

Call me old-fashioned, but I hate when one of the teams isn’t wearing white. Always throws me off when both teams are wearing their away jerseys, like the Celtics & nets are.

KD is still the best player in the world confirmed

Zach Zarba is the only ref whose name or face I recognize for a reason other than incompetence or corruption. In fact, that's why I recognize his name and face :lol:

. Nice to see him reffing this one with all these great players playing.

KD has never been the best player in the world and never will be, but he does put the ball in the basket more effortlessly than anyone I've ever seen. Michael Jordan is second.

How does he compare to Derozen?

That's easy to distinguish - try watching any combo of the 76ers, Pistons, Clippers or Wizards lol

Question for Celtics fans: how many times have you gone from loving Marcus Smart to being annoyed as **** by Marcus Smart, and vice versa?

I haven't looked, but my guess is DeMar has the better counting stats, while Tatum has the better impact stats. Then I think there is only game or so difference for Boston and Chicago in the standings.

I think it comes down to 2 things. Do they separate Jokic and Embiid on the All NBA teams. If they end up doing that then I think that final forward spot goes to whoever has the better remaining 20 games between Tatum and DeMar.

Too many times. But I feel he is playing the best b-ball of his career now, seems to have really turned the page.

He needs to take on the Rondo role (which he is doing). Assists and defense first, shots second. Also: his fakes, lobs and handoffs at the rim are elite.

PierceFan4ever · Post #20 » by **PierceFan4ever** » Sun Mar 6, 2022 6:48 pm

Jayson Tatum goddamn he’s turning into a complete player. Just needs to shoot better from threes this season but that’s the least of my worries because that’s been his strength since he’s entered the league

Who wins?
