i mean he still take the most shots and highest usage in celtics. but tatum issues always been his consistency and bad 4th quarter performance. 3 years tatum in crunch time 2021-22 season 37.2% Ranks 37th out of 47 2022-23 season 35.1% Ranks 50th out of 57 2023-24 season 31.9% Ranks 28 out of 29 this season: 5-21 fg (24%) game-tying or go-ahead fg in 4th quarter or OT
Prob with past tatum is if his shooting was off he didn't offer much on the offensive end. Sure you could rely on rebounding/defense, but this year he's really uped his assist/playmaking so that for a guy with higher usage he's still making the offense flow better. The prob with prior years past is guys would stand around and watch jt/jb just go to work late in games. Now we have a legit 1-5 who can close out for us.

I think Boston getting rid of Smart, allowing White to have a bigger role, and adding Jrue was the biggest difference. So many times I would see them try to feed the ball to Marcus late in games, and the result would be a huge disaster. Their late game execution is so much better now because Jrue and White are always in control. Smart is a great defender but a lot of his defensive plays comes from 50/50 block charge calls, whereas Jrue will just lock you up. White and Jrue are also just better scorers than Smart, so it adds a lot to their team.
True. Smart lost that Game 4 for Boston in 2022 by chunking bad 3 pointers and letting Steph shoot threes without contesting him. Boston would be up 3-1 if they won that game and would have easily finished GSW

The disrespect this man goes through. Luka and Tatum are the only two active players with 5 straight all-NBA 1st teams, since Bron. Jokic couldn't even do that. Uncut hoops gotta disagree with you about Jaylen Brown. He is a top 15 player in the NBA.
@@burtreynolds8030 You are right about the left hand, but he makes up for that on the defensive side. If they win the chip this year, the NBA should fear the next 5-7 years. Jaylen Brown and Tatum over Luka and Kyrie. 4-1 or 4-0. Who do you got?
don't think so man. i used to hate lebron becaue of how mj fan tried to brainwashed every new nba fans saying how lebron sucks. but when i dive deeper, mj competition was garbage. mj fan tried to downplay duncan, kobe, lebron and curry legacy. (if you have been there all those years). fyi tatum hate is abit harder to explain but if you want i don't mind explaining but it's abit lengthy and even some celtics fan dislike tatum because how jaylen brown was been treated all this years. so yeah, if you want a explanation just ping me
@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrainsfunny. last time i recall it was the LeOnlyFans who started hating on MJ ever since LeFraud told everyone "that made me the greatest of all time." Jordan never said he was the GOAT when asked while Lebron said he was the GOAT when no one even asked. One reason why Jordan is respected all around the world and look at him as the GOAT.
The amount of hate Tatum, Luka, and Jokic get is just insane. I used to believe most media are ignorant not by choice, now I realize it’s just pure stupidity and jealousy. We literally have a repeat in history with Tatum and Luka being the KD and LeBron for this era, the “old heads” in my life are constantly telling me they are preparing for a Magic and Bird rivalry in terms of “play style”. This I can understand considering they’ve only been back as viewers of the product for about 5 years, thanks to the LeBum Era ending sooner rather than later. They treat Jokic like he’s other worldly which I just love 😂 My old man even said this team reminds him of the 83-84 Celtics, which I had to Google. He’s right in terms of talent, I believe spot on. Tatum and Brown are kind of a LeBron/Wade or Shaq/Kobe duo instead of a Jordan/Pippen, it’s not a true Batman and Robin case. Some nights it’s Jayson going off, others it’s Jaylen. It’s a Batman & Superman pairing, which feels great since I’ve watched JT since high school and Jaylen was not who I wanted but now feel blessed with 😂 Read my essay, I could care less 😂😂😂 Take care, God bless! 🙏
Cool, all this is right except for the Luka inclusion. Dude is like one of the top 3 most beloved players by every outlet and casual on the planet. He plays zero defense. Zero. The guy doesn't even bother to get himself in nba shape. He is supremely talented, but up until the WCF this year he has been one of the biggest ball-hogs the NBA has ever seen.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m no they cant, like bro said he cant even get in nba shape. Boston will expose him on that end. Kyrie too i know he been trying on defense but he still ass at it
ESPN said the same thing about Denver last year in playoffs playing weak competition. Folks act they get to pick and choose who and when they play in the playoffs 💀
Thank you. We all know Tatum wasn't jealous. They highlighted him AFTER he celebrated with Brown. The fact that he was smiling just puts the nail in the coffin when ppl say Tatum was jealous he didn't win the Larry Bird trophy. Let's be honest, Tatum could care less because the only Larry trophy he cares about is the Larry O'Brien trophy
Celtics are playing like an experienced team in these late game situations..Not panicking, making the right plays and trusting their shot making.. They have got way too much talent to lose..
This the main reason I stopped watching ESPN!!! All you hear is someone’s opinion on some hypothetical situation!! Just do the highlights and move on to the next round of highlights. I miss classic sports center.
These guys are trying to analyze whether JT's smile was authentic or not? Where are we in sports media? Somebody has to be held accountable for this slander.
I think what sums up perfectly about ESPN and their bad NBA takes is the Western conference finals teams right now Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves when they said that Kyrie Irving and Luka doncic trade was not going to work because they're too ball dominant players also throw in everyone dismantle the Timberwolves trade for gobert that they gave up too much and look at them now both teams are in the Western conference finals take that ESPN so-called analyst
The Celtics made it to the finals That's the exact point. What ESPN Should do is not to compare players and assume their true intentions for no reason. That's just totally Ruining the vibe.
Jrue Holiday over Marcus Smart has been the biggest difference that I can see. Slightly taller, less turnover prone, more efficient shooter, better rebounder while giving elite defense.
@junglehunterpredator101 I know! I'm really looking forward to the Finals. I think the Celtics can go up another level and if KP is back (as long as they stay focused) they're hard to beat 4x's in a series. But I'm a Bostonian so I am biased. 😂😂😂
@@CoraNFL 😆I have no doubt of that since they're your home town team. How loud will you Bostonians boo Kyrie? Gotta imagine it will be fierce. Mavs will for sure be the toughest challenge this run. I've never believed in KP but we'll see for sure. I really hope it's a nail biting 7 games series with no injuries.
@junglehunterpredator101 I live in ATL now, but when I watch them with my peeps I won't boo. I think it's dumb. I just want them to show up and play damn good ball.
What people don't talk about is the coaching is so much better! This whole playoffs is basically the same team but you replace smart and Brogdon with Jrue. But the timeouts are better, the switches are better, less one on one, timeouts better taken. Last year was so frustrating, Mazzula would never call timeouts down the stretch and it was always Tatum Iso. Maybe Sam Cassel also had a big influence on the way they play.
I’m so glad Brad Steven doesn’t watch ESPN’s trash! He gave Jaylen the leagues biggest contract, put pieces around the Js and knows Jayson about to get an even larger contract! Ignore the noise…and Perk is a SELLOUT
Lmao as if Tatum cares at all about ECF MVP. It’s cool to win it sure, but ultimately nobody ever boasts about winning a conference finals MVP. I hope ESPN keeps hating and the Celtics take it personally and come out with a vengeance.
What's really insane is Celtics management literally went to Tatum and directly asked him if he wanted to play with Brown before they resigned Brown. Tatum is the one who said yes to that. So yeah, the two aren't only teammates, they are literal friends outside the court, hanging out beyond basketball. Sports pundits are ridiculous.
Espn loves creating drama. Not only with the sports that they cover but also with the people covering the sports. It's turned into soap opera for males who like gossip and drama.
They’re not wrong. Tatum is an inefficient shot chucker that can only look good when his shots are falling. At least with Jaylen Brown, Holiday, and Derrick White, they can impact winning even when their shots aren’t falling. That’s why they’re more impactful players than Tatum.
Any sports commentary who said they should split up should not be calling sports. Mostly it’s former nba players who had mediocre careers I think they just are some haters ! We raising banner 18 this year
ESPN has been doing this for years to the Celtics. They literally warned teams to not trade with Boston after the Kyrie Irving trade and then proceeded to tear down Irving and Hayward for not winning every game they played.
As a Boston fan I'm legit more tired of hearing people shit on Luka more than us I'm not even gonna care if we lose I just want Luka to shut everyone up
@@newcastleenjoyer69I honestly have been waiting all playoffs for a Boston Dallas match up. Denver is boring as hell and Minnesota just molests the other team and commits 25 fouls a game. This is going to be an exciting finals.
It just goes to show how strong the relationship is between Jayson and Jaylen that they never allowed the media to tear them apart. Props to the Celtics organization for keeping them together.
Celtics fan here. I was at ECF game 7 last year and was obviously super upset with the result. For about an hour after it, I said they had to drop JB or JT. I then drank like a fish at a bar and got all those stupid ideas out of my head. Uncut you too right about the media, they all a bunch of gossips that wanna start controversy for the sake of entertainment.
great video my dude! espn has always been a joke so I don't really follow their coverage, however I used to really listen to Barkley's analysis and I used to think he was pretty solid. he has been really off with his celtics comments and you're right, he's stuck on the past celtics teams. I think overall all these "analysts" are bored of the celtics bcos this year there's no drama and we've been flat out dominant and no one else has been close, so they either just make things up (espn) or just say the same inaccurate shit over and over (tnt).
During this year's All-Star Game, JT wanted coach to give his mjinutes to JB so Brown might win game MVP. Yeah...sounds like those two just hate each other. ((eyeroll))
I have watched Tatum and Brown for years and have not seen any issues between them on the court whatsoever. The fact is, both players have improved their overall game this season and will continue to get better the next couple of years. That is a scary thought for those who don't want to see the Celtics succeed.
Espn is ridiculous for this. And ESPN and the media was trying to break them up for a while and that’s sad. This guys was playing good together, just because they not hugging a dancing together after one has a good game and the other doesn’t don’t make them not capable of working together, and this year is showing them that.
I'm still mad at these two for not winning 2 years ago lol. Had quite a big bet on Celts to win it all. But just coz they're not extroverted in celebrations don't mean nothing. I'll be glad to see them win it just to stick to the talking heads, even though I'd rather Luka and Kyrie get it done. Good vid as usual bro
I been a Celtics fan since 1983 my uncle who served in The Vietnam War passed away 2 days ago was a loyal Celtics fan i really hope they win it all for my uncle
one suggestion i have is write out the acryonms at 6:57 because its kinda confusing on what these stats protray unless you have stat knowledge. Im a an avid fan of the Celtics and loved the video but i didn't understand the stats
The thing about the assist and our offense Iv said for two years now 😂. How in the he’ll are we a top team in assist and overall offensive numbers and then the media says “ they don’t pass” ☠️ . We almost have 3 if not 4 players a night with 5 assist . What are they watching besides a late shot clock iso which is actually good basketball when YOU HAVE ISOLATION guys
I will disagree with you with your point around like 8:00--Boston's offsense IS stagnant... they don't really run enough off-ball action. It's a really simple offense. They're not good because of their system... actually they're good inspite of it. Stagnant doesn't mean that the ball isn't moving. You can tell a play is stagnant when it's extremely easy to follow, b/c all that's really happening is happening right by the ball, so off-ball defenders can kind of just relax as all they have to do is shut down passing lanes most of the time--no one is fighting over off-ball screnes or anything crazy like that. It's an extremely rudimentary offense, which speaks volumes on how effective their players actually are, having been able to succeed in that system.
LOL. Go listen to Red Auerbach and his players. They dont run complicated plays. If its effective, just stick with it. Sometimes, being simple is more effective than being spphosticated just for the sake of it.
The Celtics were so ahead of schedule that them being on schedule feels like them being behind schedule. lol

Smart is a great defender but a lot of his defensive plays comes from 50/50 block charge calls, whereas Jrue will just lock you up. White and Jrue are also just better scorers than Smart, so it adds a lot to their team.
True. Smart lost that Game 4 for Boston in 2022 by chunking bad 3 pointers and letting Steph shoot threes without contesting him. Boston would be up 3-1 if they won that game and would have easily finished GSW
Hey listen 2 finals in 3 years, i think 5 conference finals in 6 years, without JB or JT hitting prime? We are doing good 😂
Tatum just wants to win… he does a great job ignoring the outside noise from the media and naysayers
When i see randoms on youtube tryina pin brown and tatum against each other i get pissed but ignored them, is full of hating idiot incels on youtube, X, etc. But payed professionals journalist do the same on TV? Thats just crazy and embarrasing.
I was watching that live and was saying ESPN is bulls####ing. You can really notice the shift to nonsense this year. Getting to be unwatchable
This year? Try the last 15 years.
He’s literally smiling and clapping, what does espn want from Tatum? A BJ?
I mean it's an obsession at this point for them to try and destroy the jays smh but it's not working 😅😅😊 Celtics in 6 🍀
This is such outrageous cope by the ESPN people lol
Thank you! I was waiting for someone to put this out.! Everything. Thing you say are facts. Great job.
"Lots of chatter"? I guess ESPN forgot to add that they started that chatter, if there was any chatter to begin with.
There isn’t any chatter, if there was they would show some of it, typical modern journalism, make a claim and don’t provide any evidence for it
@@burtreynolds8030 As you said, this is "modern" journalism, and as our friend said in this video, "this is girls gossip" level, it's got nothing to do with journalism. Just make stuff up and pretend it's a story.
Now do a video on how Luka doesn’t get scrutinized the same way Tatum does despite the one year age difference.
that whole "Celtics just play your turn, my turn basketball" is literally the Mavs' only gameplan lol. But you'd never hear them complain about it over there
So now we have the in season tournament, the IST MVP, the regular season MVP, and the conference playoff MVP…. What happened to the Chip being the only thing that mattered???
No one says otherwise
@@1ajgtwm the absolutely do say otherwise. Often in defense of LeBalco. But that’s not even my point. They dilute what’s important by adding all these other things and saying they are important. It’s the erosion of the spirit of competition that used to be winning it all at the end of the year was the only thing that mattered to the true greats.
@@forsaken7976 Most important is the MVP, then FMVP, then Conference and then in season tournament. The two main MVP's are still important and the most important, in 40 years, idk how much it will change
@@forsaken7976wdh that gotta do wit bron
@forsaken7976 how is any other award trumping the regular season mvp or finals mvp? Have you seen in any debate on mainstream sports media all the way down to content creator on YT say "X player is better than Z player because of any of the newer awards" Shouting at air right now
The disrespect this man goes through. Luka and Tatum are the only two active players with 5 straight all-NBA 1st teams, since Bron. Jokic couldn't even do that. Uncut hoops gotta disagree with you about Jaylen Brown. He is a top 15 player in the NBA.
Brown takes a lot of flak because he’s weaker with his left hand, but you’re right he is that good
@@burtreynolds8030 You are right about the left hand, but he makes up for that on the defensive side. If they win the chip this year, the NBA should fear the next 5-7 years. Jaylen Brown and Tatum over Luka and Kyrie. 4-1 or 4-0. Who do you got?
They are all haters because tatum said kobe over lebron any day.
don't think so man. i used to hate lebron becaue of how mj fan tried to brainwashed every new nba fans saying how lebron sucks.
but when i dive deeper, mj competition was garbage. mj fan tried to downplay duncan, kobe, lebron and curry legacy. (if you have been there all those years).
fyi tatum hate is abit harder to explain but if you want i don't mind explaining but it's abit lengthy and even some celtics fan dislike tatum because how jaylen brown was been treated all this years.
so yeah, if you want a explanation just ping me
@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains You lost all credibility with your first sentence. No one wants to hear your take kid
@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrainsfunny. last time i recall it was the LeOnlyFans who started hating on MJ ever since LeFraud told everyone "that made me the greatest of all time." Jordan never said he was the GOAT when asked while Lebron said he was the GOAT when no one even asked. One reason why Jordan is respected all around the world and look at him as the GOAT.
@@WestbrickFansGotNoBrains no one who actually knows the game needs to brainwash people about how better MJ is over Lebron
Except LeBron > Kobe. No offense to Kobe. Dudes a legend and top ten player. But LeBron is in the top 3
The amount of hate Tatum, Luka, and Jokic get is just insane. I used to believe most media are ignorant not by choice, now I realize it’s just pure stupidity and jealousy. We literally have a repeat in history with Tatum and Luka being the KD and LeBron for this era, the “old heads” in my life are constantly telling me they are preparing for a Magic and Bird rivalry in terms of “play style”. This I can understand considering they’ve only been back as viewers of the product for about 5 years, thanks to the LeBum Era ending sooner rather than later. They treat Jokic like he’s other worldly which I just love 😂
My old man even said this team reminds him of the 83-84 Celtics, which I had to Google. He’s right in terms of talent, I believe spot on.
Tatum and Brown are kind of a LeBron/Wade or Shaq/Kobe duo instead of a Jordan/Pippen, it’s not a true Batman and Robin case. Some nights it’s Jayson going off, others it’s Jaylen. It’s a Batman & Superman pairing, which feels great since I’ve watched JT since high school and Jaylen was not who I wanted but now feel blessed with 😂
Read my essay, I could care less 😂😂😂
Take care, God bless! 🙏
Cool, all this is right except for the Luka inclusion.
Dude is like one of the top 3 most beloved players by every outlet and casual on the planet.
He plays zero defense. Zero. The guy doesn't even bother to get himself in nba shape.
He is supremely talented, but up until the WCF this year he has been one of the biggest ball-hogs the NBA has ever seen.
They can this series and beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals, but it’s going to take Luka playing off the ball more.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6m no they cant, like bro said he cant even get in nba shape. Boston will expose him on that end. Kyrie too i know he been trying on defense but he still ass at it
NOOOOBODY maybe outside of New england has been hating on luka
Luka? Luka's and Antman's balls has been continuously sucked dry by ESPN and other media outlets. They even annoint him as better than Jordan LMAO
ESPN said the same thing about Denver last year in playoffs playing weak competition. Folks act they get to pick and choose who and when they play in the playoffs 💀
Thank you. We all know Tatum wasn't jealous. They highlighted him AFTER he celebrated with Brown. The fact that he was smiling just puts the nail in the coffin when ppl say Tatum was jealous he didn't win the Larry Bird trophy. Let's be honest, Tatum could care less because the only Larry trophy he cares about is the Larry O'Brien trophy
HATORADE: The proud sponsor of ESPN
Celtics are playing like an experienced team in these late game situations..Not panicking, making the right plays and trusting their shot making.. They have got way too much talent to lose..
ESPN is so messy lol. Thank you for this video
YEP... IT'S CELTICS YEAR !
Basically. That's why these folks so mad
4:08 Brown came from Denver
The sad thing about ESPN is people actually watch that shtuff
They were saying the same thing about Luka and Kyrie. The NBA media has never been more wrong than now.
Imagine if this media coverage was watching 90's bulls and complaining about mj - scotty chemistry lol
They don't have to imagine, Scottie is doing that all by himself today
This quote from Charles Barkley was from the Game 5 against Cleveland at halftime.
ESPN dislikes the Celtics as much as they glaze Lebron and the Lakers
Tatum is literally cheesing and clapping for Brown 😂
that's exactly how much Tatum smiled when he won it himself
ESPN Gaslighting? Shirley not.
This the main reason I stopped watching ESPN!!! All you hear is someone’s opinion on some hypothetical situation!! Just do the highlights and move on to the next round of highlights. I miss classic sports center.
These guys are trying to analyze whether JT's smile was authentic or not? Where are we in sports media? Somebody has to be held accountable for this slander.
Bless you for this take.
I think what sums up perfectly about ESPN and their bad NBA takes is the Western conference finals teams right now Dallas Mavericks and the Minnesota Timberwolves when they said that Kyrie Irving and Luka doncic trade was not going to work because they're too ball dominant players also throw in everyone dismantle the Timberwolves trade for gobert that they gave up too much and look at them now both teams are in the Western conference finals take that ESPN so-called analyst
The Celtics made it to the finals That's the exact point. What ESPN Should do is not to compare players and assume their true intentions for no reason. That's just totally Ruining the vibe.
UNCUT HOOPS IS THE REALEST
Jrue Holiday over Marcus Smart has been the biggest difference that I can see. Slightly taller, less turnover prone, more efficient shooter, better rebounder while giving elite defense.
Yes. Also, JB is much improved, his handle is better, he doesn't turn the ball over as much. Also, D. White and Jrue are just BEASTS! Great Squad
@@CoraNFL Great points! They do feel like a complete squad. I can't wait to see the results of their Mavs match up.
@junglehunterpredator101 I know! I'm really looking forward to the Finals. I think the Celtics can go up another level and if KP is back (as long as they stay focused) they're hard to beat 4x's in a series. But I'm a Bostonian so I am biased. 😂😂😂
@@CoraNFL 😆I have no doubt of that since they're your home town team. How loud will you Bostonians boo Kyrie? Gotta imagine it will be fierce. Mavs will for sure be the toughest challenge this run. I've never believed in KP but we'll see for sure. I really hope it's a nail biting 7 games series with no injuries.
@junglehunterpredator101 I live in ATL now, but when I watch them with my peeps I won't boo. I think it's dumb. I just want them to show up and play damn good ball.
What people don't talk about is the coaching is so much better! This whole playoffs is basically the same team but you replace smart and Brogdon with Jrue. But the timeouts are better, the switches are better, less one on one, timeouts better taken. Last year was so frustrating, Mazzula would never call timeouts down the stretch and it was always Tatum Iso. Maybe Sam Cassel also had a big influence on the way they play.
"espn is the bottom of the barrel for sports coverage". You nailed it
I’m so glad Brad Steven doesn’t watch ESPN’s trash! He gave Jaylen the leagues biggest contract, put pieces around the Js and knows Jayson about to get an even larger contract!
Ignore the noise…and Perk is a SELLOUT
Lmao as if Tatum cares at all about ECF MVP. It’s cool to win it sure, but ultimately nobody ever boasts about winning a conference finals MVP. I hope ESPN keeps hating and the Celtics take it personally and come out with a vengeance.
If they win it all it will only take 6 months for them to be saying the same exact things again..
What's really insane is Celtics management literally went to Tatum and directly asked him if he wanted to play with Brown before they resigned Brown. Tatum is the one who said yes to that. So yeah, the two aren't only teammates, they are literal friends outside the court, hanging out beyond basketball. Sports pundits are ridiculous.
Espn loves creating drama. Not only with the sports that they cover but also with the people covering the sports. It's turned into soap opera for males who like gossip and drama.
They’re not wrong. Tatum is an inefficient shot chucker that can only look good when his shots are falling. At least with Jaylen Brown, Holiday, and Derrick White, they can impact winning even when their shots aren’t falling. That’s why they’re more impactful players than Tatum.
You tried to go objective and you’re still wrong lmaooo. Tatum leads the team in literally every category. But go off lil bro
Any sports commentary who said they should split up should not be calling sports. Mostly it’s former nba players who had mediocre careers I think they just are some haters ! We raising banner 18 this year
ESPN has been doing this for years to the Celtics. They literally warned teams to not trade with Boston after the Kyrie Irving trade and then proceeded to tear down Irving and Hayward for not winning every game they played.
What other team who just won the conference finals has news coverage about breaking up the team?
Hoping the Mavs close it out tonight so no matter who wins the finals the NBA media will be in shambles LOL
As a Boston fan I'm legit more tired of hearing people shit on Luka more than us I'm not even gonna care if we lose I just want Luka to shut everyone up
@@newcastleenjoyer69 It sounds like you're a Luka fan! Not a Boston fan😂 which is fine
@@kewd1688 been a cs fan since 99
@@newcastleenjoyer69I honestly have been waiting all playoffs for a Boston Dallas match up. Denver is boring as hell and Minnesota just molests the other team and commits 25 fouls a game. This is going to be an exciting finals.
@@newcastleenjoyer69nice I been a Celtics fan since 84
Imagine having the the biggest smile possible jumping up and down clapping and being called jealous. 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Bro thank you
I reject your reality and substitute my own -ESPN
It just goes to show how strong the relationship is between Jayson and Jaylen that they never allowed the media to tear them apart. Props to the Celtics organization for keeping them together.
Celtics fan here. I was at ECF game 7 last year and was obviously super upset with the result. For about an hour after it, I said they had to drop JB or JT. I then drank like a fish at a bar and got all those stupid ideas out of my head. Uncut you too right about the media, they all a bunch of gossips that wanna start controversy for the sake of entertainment.
as soon as Chuck said the 'iso in late game' thing I knew he hasn't watched a single Celtics playoff game
great video my dude! espn has always been a joke so I don't really follow their coverage, however I used to really listen to Barkley's analysis and I used to think he was pretty solid. he has been really off with his celtics comments and you're right, he's stuck on the past celtics teams. I think overall all these "analysts" are bored of the celtics bcos this year there's no drama and we've been flat out dominant and no one else has been close, so they either just make things up (espn) or just say the same inaccurate shit over and over (tnt).
During this year's All-Star Game, JT wanted coach to give his mjinutes to JB so Brown might win game MVP. Yeah...sounds like those two just hate each other. ((eyeroll))
Bill Russell REMAINS the NBA GOAT
I have watched Tatum and Brown for years and have not seen any issues between them on the court whatsoever. The fact is, both players have improved their overall game this season and will continue to get better the next couple of years. That is a scary thought for those who don't want to see the Celtics succeed.
Espn is ridiculous for this. And ESPN and the media was trying to break them up for a while and that’s sad. This guys was playing good together, just because they not hugging a dancing together after one has a good game and the other doesn’t don’t make them not capable of working together, and this year is showing them that.
If the J's were in Lakers jerseys they'd be getting praised to the moon. C's in 4
I thought it was just me! Thanks for this video!
Great video,Great point , ESPN Just Want Boston To Split The Jays But We Have a Super Star GM also. LET Go Boston
I'm still mad at these two for not winning 2 years ago lol. Had quite a big bet on Celts to win it all. But just coz they're not extroverted in celebrations don't mean nothing. I'll be glad to see them win it just to stick to the talking heads, even though I'd rather Luka and Kyrie get it done.
Good vid as usual bro
you never fail to cook
I been a Celtics fan since 1983 my uncle who served in The Vietnam War passed away 2 days ago was a loyal Celtics fan i really hope they win it all for my uncle
it says nothing about Tatum and Brown but a lot about what ESPN thinks of their viewers
Your boy Tatum scored 16 in the Finals with 6 turnovers and 37.5% shooting
He had a 20 plus minus you can effect the game without scoring 30 points and losing
Bro was playing good defense, did you not watch the games?
@@howsittastesIf his shooting splits are the only thing you're looking at, then that says a lot about you.
one suggestion i have is write out the acryonms at 6:57 because its kinda confusing on what these stats protray unless you have stat knowledge. Im a an avid fan of the Celtics and loved the video but i didn't understand the stats
Agreed!
Sports media is a joke.
Haven’t watched espn in years! I’m telling you stop watching that garbage!
The thing about the assist and our offense Iv said for two years now 😂.
How in the he’ll are we a top team in assist and overall offensive numbers and then the media says “ they don’t pass” ☠️ . We almost have 3 if not 4 players a night with 5 assist . What are they watching besides a late shot clock iso which is actually good basketball when YOU HAVE ISOLATION guys
I will disagree with you with your point around like 8:00--Boston's offsense IS stagnant... they don't really run enough off-ball action. It's a really simple offense. They're not good because of their system... actually they're good inspite of it.
Stagnant doesn't mean that the ball isn't moving. You can tell a play is stagnant when it's extremely easy to follow, b/c all that's really happening is happening right by the ball, so off-ball defenders can kind of just relax as all they have to do is shut down passing lanes most of the time--no one is fighting over off-ball screnes or anything crazy like that. It's an extremely rudimentary offense, which speaks volumes on how effective their players actually are, having been able to succeed in that system.
Now the Couch Coaches are coming with rheir opinions...i think this...i think that...We don't GAF what you think....Really!!!
LOL. Go listen to Red Auerbach and his players. They dont run complicated plays. If its effective, just stick with it.
Sometimes, being simple is more effective than being spphosticated just for the sake of it.
