Sit Tatum for this series. Celts can beat Orlando without Tatum.
If it's truly gonna affect his shot Let him rest.. but if he wants to play, he should go but limit his PT..
Stop it he’ll be ok he wanna be Kobe right so get up 😂
🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
I think people underestimate the importance of Tatum. I’m not completely sure he can sit out and they still beat Orlando. Tatum is the best shot creator, playmaker and rebounder. He’s also a big body to matchup with Franz and Paolo.
Great, both stars have bone bruises. Knee and Wrist. And from what I understand they need weeks of rest, so sitting them a few games, isn't going to change too much. Need everybody else to pick up the slack. But definitely a bummer if you are a C's fan. Odds went down now.
Injuries suck man 🤦🏽♂️
He soft. He did all that to try and get a foul. His coach even know he was acting. GET UPPP!!
Rest him the Celtics can win without him against Orlando
Celtics finally getting a taste of what it's like to have your best player injured at the start of the most crucial time of the season. I'm sure it's nothing serious but just a reminder that even the most durable players are still human
Finally coming to fruition what I prophesied – Celtics will be COOKED as soon as they have any HINT of injuries to Tatum/Green. I don't wish injuries on anyone but as a Mavs fan getting clowned on because of being one of the most injury-ridden teams this year (along with the HORRIBLE TRADE) I've often thought about how AWFUL the most-glazed teams in the NBA would be if they had any HINT of serious injuries.
And don't even start to talk about Porzingis – for large stretches, Celtics performed better without the so-called "Tingus Pingus" 😂
Anyway…. Celtics aren't gonna win it again, healthy or no.
It’s over for the Celtics
No disrespect for Orlando but Tatum should sit the remainder of this series is a long playoff we need him healthy vs cavs and whoever comes out of the west
Soft, light skinned, and overrated
See what you’ve done Jayson? 🤦🏻♂️
Celtics#19
It’s looking like a Lakers dream come true
Are you serious about this??
Boston should play Tatum. Creates a no pressure situation. If they lose that blame it on the injury. If they win, Jayson looks like Superman. I’ll bet Jayson goes off in game 2…
He played thru a similar injury last season.. relax
Doctor S. please post a video of good news
Lol
Sit him unless celtics go down in the series
Alright let’s go Cavs
Tatum is a stat padder anyways so it'll do the team some good with him out , more ball movement less 3s
Mmmmhhh Chiney ney always showing some skin ❤🫠
People are overreacting big time as as usual. JT is FINE! He came back in the game and hit a 3 right after that so he can clearly still shoot. Plus he had it x rayed and nothing was broken. Just a simple sprained wrist that’ll be fine in a few days. Not like they need him anyway to beat Orlando.
Windy is annoying as hell. We don’t need a history lesson. Just answer the question‼️
Boston can't sit him, what about his minutes??..
Orlando’s defense in that game was an injury waiting to happen.
I know if it’s up to him he won’t but I hope he sits for at least game 2.
Celtics can still win the next 2 series without Tatum he just need to be prepared for Cavs
Tatum should stay out unless Boston drops 2 games.
Very cautious!!! 🤕
All prayers to jt 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Out with a bone bruise 🤐 k Ice it , wrap it .🤔
Is this the injury where his Coach yelled, get up! Come on
JT will play. No doubt.
Sit him until the finals 😂
Shut him down for the series and we’ll see him in round two
They can sit both stars and still win. White and Pritchard should step up is jt and jb sits
The Celtics can sit Tatum and Brown the first two series and sweep both 🤣🤣🤣
Who cares playing so he can get hurt so when the Pistons play the sorry Celtics in the second round it will be an easy sweet for Detroit
Dirty play. And the commentators for the game were trash too
Im Surprised Malika Andrews isn't finding something negative to say about Jayson Tatum's childhood before reporting on his present condition.
Mazzulla shouting at Tatum to get up while he was still squirming on the floor
This is why you gotta chill while dunking, using all your force isn't worth it unless you're playing in the finals.
