Would be cool but personal awards mean nothing to us! BANNER 19
SteamingHotChocolate
Kind of a really stupid thought I’m having but for some reason this pic of Tatum looks like an AI-aged version of Deuce lol
ShaolinSwervinMonk
I hope he really focuses on his shooting in the offseason. He’s got everything down pat his playmaking took a massive step, his defense and rebounding. If he can up those shooting percentages a bit look out. He’d be a legit MVP candidate
JBismyGOAT
I don’t think we will have an MVP on this team because of the way Joe gets them to play. Each night, everyone does what the team needs to win. I think if we make it back to the Finals, JT will win FMVP.
Bewilderbeest79
Rather have a Banner 19 year
azMILL1
LFG JT!
Mbanicek64
Yeah. I don’t care about that at all. If they are winning and it happen… cool.Â
champagnesupernova10
True, but I’d rather have him win FMVP
FutureAttention
He needs to get his wrist surgery and be done with it
LuckysBestMan
Not unless he fixes his shot and is more consistent. Scoring consistently matter for MVPs.
jambr380
If Jaylen was out, I think he would have a chance. But I’m glad Jaylen isn’t out.
simpledeadwitches
I’m really excited to see post-nut Celtics. I want to see the next evolution of the Jays.
flyingpandum
I actually think this next season he will be in the discussion firmly.
I feel like this season there was a lot of pressure for him to perform well and lead the team to a title and they did that.
Now that the monkey is off his back, his confidence should be sky high, he’ll have shut the vast majority of the noise and criticism down while understanding that he may have underperformed in some areas. That gives him a goal for next year and avoids the “hangover championship” season some contenders have had. He should be more relaxed and a chill smooth Tatum is the best Tatum.
Chickpounder420
lmao he wont jokic luka and embiid have bigger shoulders to fill with lack luster rosters compared to jt, jt can have another banner but he wont win mvp if he has this stacked roster
jotyma5
Also, now that he’s got a chip, maybe refs will give him calls
No_House9929
Nah we don’t need him heaving away to chase Luka’s box score production. Just aim for HCA throughout the playoffs, all that matters
redditoeat
That would be cool and all… But for me, I would rather our C’s just continue with the team basketball.
We have the luxury of having a top heavy roster where any of the top6 can be the player of the game, yet some clamor for individual awards.
Also, KP was out for 20+ games in the regular season. This team knows how to adjust cos of said team basketball philosophy.
balbon0210
1. He just have to replay Bronny cutting him to let da hate flow 🙂 2. I want him to boom Bronny so we have a father and son poster 🤣
moogleslam
… if he improves his shot selection.
Squishy-Bandit12
Nah. I doubt he’ll ever win MVP cause of the way we play, and that’s fine. A player hasn’t won a championship the same year they won MVP since 2015 Steph. Tatum showed this year he’s all about the team, and that’s what’s most important when going for championships, which will allow him to rack up FMVPs. The only thing he needs to improve on right now is his shot efficiency. Other than that, he should keep playing the same.
ZarduHasselffrau
To get MVP one has to go full superstar throughout the season. Tatum has had a long playoffs run, will be at the Olympics and the Celtics will have even fewer days of preseason rest because they have to go to Abu Dhabi to play a game. (All this also applies to Jrue)
Tatum should start the season with calm, do the necessary to win games, not win MVP.
Cvspartan
Considering we won 64 games last season, the only way they would give it to Tatum is if he scored 30+ ppg on insane efficiency and they won 60+ games again. JB is just too good for Tatum to have a realistic shot.
It’s probably going to be Luka or Embiid (assuming he doesn’t get injured for the millionth time) since Jokic is gonna have crazy voter fatigue.
uhgulp
Are you really a bigger fan of JT than of the team?
Responsible-List-849
Nobody cares. 19 please.
I_Set_3_Alarms
Nah, let him save that drive for FMVP.
This year idk, let’s get Pritchard 6MOTY
osonim69
hes not outcompeting a jokic, luca, or healthy embid
M0hammed_
I agree with the general consensus that banner 19 is the main goal but man I hope Tatum wins MVP and/or FMVP next season to shut the trolls up
rascalmendes
Banner 19 kaizen. Fuck MVP give it to whoever.
rabbid_hyena
He will not get one. Our players arent liked outside the fanbase. The league and voters would literally give it to Thanasis before JT or JB.
Finals MVP, on the other hand …
Thorking
I wonder why no one is talking about this
beat_u2_it
I can see Tatum averaging close to a triple double next season
BradWonder
We should be rooting for the Buffalo’s 1st All Star campaign!
Jayson only has a chance at MVP if the favorite(s) get injured/slump at the end of the season while he goes on a hot streak to end the season like Westbrook did in 2017. Virtually nobody outside of OKC thought that MVP was deserved lol. I wouldn’t mind that added vitriol from Celtics haters if Jayson stole one
PepeSylvia11
I doubt it. Not because of JT, but because of how strong our entire team is. All MVP’s are head and shoulders the best player on their team, every night. JT is sometimes our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, even 5th best player on some nights. The woes of having an incredible team.
Panzer_I
He legitimately might average 30 9 and 5 with great D on the highest seed with KP out (around his 2023 stats). That should deserve mvp consideration.
That being said, no voters really cared when he did that on second best record in the league (behind the first seed by one game) in 2023, so who knows.
I just want to see the push for banner 19.
-Jdzspace-
Did I miss some news where KP is going to miss the whole year?
Minimum_Albatross217
It’s 2 months of the season. No
Av-fishermen
I just want banner 19!
kheldar52077
I don’t think they will play JT, JB, and JH more than 30 mins due to their Olympics schedule. This is a incoming season is good for Hauser, PP, and other bench players to shine.
