JB is 100% disrespected by the league and fans. This is a guy who was the most efficient volume scorer on his team while also being the primary defender on Luka Doncic. He can guard almost any position on the floor, shoot close to 39% from beyond, rebound and is improving as a passer. Man, what else do you want in a player? And the crazy part is that every year JB takes a noticeable step forward with his game. He is on an improvement trajectory that will see him amongst the all-time greats if he can sustain it.

Jayson Tatum is the best American player in the NBA, the second best overall player in the NBA And after next season will be the best player in the NBA as one on one defense, especially the versatility to play on the perimeter or protect the rim have become more and more important as teams have learned to create schemes on offense that isolate the weakest defender of their opponent

This is why Celtics fans hate Miami Heat fans
The only thing that worries me about next year's team is JT's approach... In the playoffs he really developed into a playmaker, getting open shots for his team. This basically made him a triple-double machine and opened the floor up for everyone else. On the other side of the coin, he watched JB get the ECF and Finals MVP. He said all the right things but I am hoping he doesn't revert back to playing ISO because it bothered him. Who cares man? You guys all got paid, team ball is what got you there...I hope JT and JB understand what they have and focus on winning during this 2-3 year window.

Buddy this is all in ur head lol Tatum did what he always does... Which is take advantage of what the opponents defense is doing During the finals Dallas was severely overplaying Tatum daring him to pass... And Tatum obliged If teams decide to try and defend Tatum honestly, hel drop 30/35 a game along with 4/5 assists a game in the post season If they keep trapping him on pick n rolls and overplaying his side on offense... Hel drop 20/25 a game along with 8-10 assists a game Tatum has learned how to attack any style of defense with maximum results

@@lurkintomgaming397I think mazzula is only going to play Tatum, brown, jrue and white about 28 to 30 minutes a game during the regular season... As the Celtics biggest concern will be keeping everyone healthy Horford will probably play every other game, and only about 25 minutes a game in the games he does play Pritchard, Hauser, springer, schierman, and Tillman are going to play about 20 minutes per game... Kornet and queta about 15 mpg each So I don't think Tatum's stats are going to jump off the pages .. but his efficiency should go WAY UP

@@JayR-o9z I think his rebounding will stay about the same and his scoring will go down again, but I do believe his assists are gunna go up significantly. He is a playmaker now. I don’t mind him scoring less really it doesn’t hurt the team it makes them a lot more dangerous. I think he’s gunna put up Larry Bird Statlines in all honesty but a better defender. The one things Jayson been slow to come around on is consistent playmaking resulting in 5 apg or more and I think he’s there now. 25/10/7 I am hoping for. I think he was what 27/9/3 last year ?
Wow this was amazing. Where does this creator get their clips I wonder! All of those camera angles of those shots we all saw during the playoffs?

Porzingis and holiday are game changers and that was why we are the nba champions and it wasn’t easy to get these two players
I remember when KP was injured in round 1 against the Heat and the news broke that he wasn’t expected to be back in playing condition until the finals. My friend joked that “at least he’ll only miss like 10 games before he gets to play again” because to us it was just a given that this Celtics team would continue dominating in the playoffs and reach the finals easily. That’s how crazy good this year’s team was
That 3rd quarter of Game 3 is legit one of the greatest quarters in basketball history. It is a sublime example of a team fully playing up to its potential on all possible levels and connections
That 3 got Barrett sent home to Canada 😂

It's funny because back when Haliburton was in the draft I said that Boston should trade Kemba, Timelord and picks to try and move up and grab him as our PG of the future. Fans at the time called me crazy because "why would you trade Kemba for some rookie". Anyone who watched Haliburton in college could tell he had at least All-Star reserve potential.

Nothing is etched in stone. There's always the dreaded injury Factor especially around playoff time! As good as a Celtics look and should look good for the next four or five years. They will not be a dynasty. The playoff system and I realize it's all for the money. But it makes it awfully hard to consistently win every year!
I mean which teams managed to get two all star caliber players essentially for free?
As a Celtics fan, i love this, but as a basketball fan, this is really just a time capsule for how incompetent basketball analysts and pundits are at actually analyzing this team
