Celtics fans are the most bitter and insecure :mjlol:

Obviously Siakam is better at the moment. The Boston stans have nothing to worry about, im sure Tatum will be better then most 3's on other teams for the next 5 to 10 years. Just be happy with that

How are Celtic fans bitter and insecure when other fanbases are the ones who are going around constantly comparing their players to Tatum? :dahell:

A Raptor fan made this thread. Laker fans are the ones who can't praise Brandon Ingram or Kuzma without mentioning Tatum's name. I don't get it.

Tatum is not and will never be better than Siakam. Siakam started to play basketball later in life went to the D league unheralded like Tatum who went to Duke and probably had everybody fawning over him in the AAU circuit before college.

Not to compare Pascal to Giannis but you just know by theses dude's life stories and determination that they will surpass and lap anyone and OG Anunoby got next. Props to Masai and Toronto scouting.

Siakam is better than Tatum and Simmons right now and its not an argument for anybody who watches basketball and Anunoby will surpass tatum as well.

Tell me exactly what OG does better than Tatum. I would genuinely like to hear this.

Better defender better athleticism not a better offensive player right now but has a higher ceiling.
What makes you think this when he hasn't displayed the ability to consistently create his own shot? His #1 role on offense is literally spotting-up; I can't possibly fathom how you think he's got a higher ceiling. It even makes less sense when you take into account Tatum is younger yet has proven he can do nearly everything on the offensive end.

How could you possibly think OG has the higher ceiling when he's older and hasn't shown 1/100th of what Tatum has on offense?

:laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff::laff:

Just say you don't watch the Celtics and go fam.

I watch the NBA (Celtics included) you have a squad of chronic underachievers thats why a dude who studied to be a priest and picked up b ball at the age of 17 is the best 3 in the East excluding Giannis. You are about to see a chronically injured young 3 surpass your crown jewel Tatum and be better than over hyped Jalen Brown.

OG's career has been riddled with injuries college included. They are ONE year apart (you bring that age argument in the ceiling convo and as if OG is a 30 year old). You seem to automatically think that im referring to age Tatum has had more experience in terms of NBA games and definitely playoff games and the luxury of playing with Kyrie and repeatedly crowned as the team going to the Finals from the East and yet has not made an all star team or has had any notable individual (rookie doesnt count) or collective awards.

OG doesnt have to create his shot because he doesnt have to Kyle is on his way out next year as a primarily ball handler and pascal has taken the All Star leap this year. In the next few years it wull be OG and Pascal's team.

Tatum had it made the past two years and didnt win any significant or individual awards being fully healthy and having a Finaks winning point guard
