Like I said, Tatum is somewhere between a rich man’s Allan Houston and a very poor man’s Tracy McGrady with far less athleticism, less handles, and a very streaky shot.

He doesn’t have much of a go to offensive bag outside of being a chunker, he has a slow first step, and he doesn’t finish well around the rim through contact either.

I personally don’t like his game and I don’t think he’s to the level that he’s advertised. Things lined up perfectly with injuries and then the Celtics got a favorable matchup in The Finals with the Mavericks last year. I’m not sold on Tatum being that guy.
Where was y’all when he was doing this?


He’s only human after all it’s not going to happen every year.

Allan Houston and Tracy McGrady is a wide range and they’re nothing alike.

Also, y’all need to stop with the Tracy McGrady glazing. McGrady was a jumpshot happy chuck who was also a lackluster finisher at the rim for all his athleticism and size.

Isn't Jaylen Brown the best player on the Celtics? Where's Batman to save Robin? Since when does the sidekick generate more headlines than the main attraction? :jbhmm:

Steph wasnt a superstar before 22? Teams cant have multiple superstars?

He is indeed superstar and indeed deserving of criticism if they actually blow this and he keeps playing like this...but only commensurate to the props he got for last year.

What makes a franchise the GOAT.... is #18 :mjgrin: :troll:

Nah, with a majority of the championships being dusty old relics of the segregation era that 18 don’t mean much. Name didn’t ring bells through the decades like GOAT franchise’s name did. There’s generations that have only known the Celtics as being a loser has been franchise clinging on Bill Russell’s work. Cuz we all know Bird ain’t even do as much as Duncan let alone Magic :wow:

Lmaooooo keep grasping at that fugazi Tatum championship:russ:

Narratives are powerful man

I still have no clear proof that Tatum is even better than Jaylen Brown much less him being a top 3 player :mjlol:

Somehow the narrative will always be Tatum is top 5

Its crazy
