    All class all the time. All NBA every year. Tatum has been putting up numbers just like Giannis and Ant, nobody talks about it.

    Giannis and Ant are amazing, taking nothing away. But let's give Tatum the respect he has earned.

    This was a master class performance by Tatum in a closeout. Now three straight games with 35+ points and he hasn't missed a free throw in that stretch. I said that Tatum was going to turn it up another level come postseason and he is showing us that right now. Prime JT has been unloaded.

  8. @urbaindelva7869

    Tatum only attempted 5 threes tonight. He seems to be getting more aggressive about his inside-the-arc scoring and finding a healthy balance of his shot diet. That bodes well for the Celtics.

    Refs finally called the penalties that were textbook rulebook penalties and this is the result. I get wanting to milk the playoffs, but you have to call the obvious stuff.

    My glorious king JT with 35 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists joins Larry Bird as the only celtics in franchise history to record 35+ points in 3 straight playoff games.

    The magic injured his wrist but funnily seemed to have fixed his jumpshot instead. Lmao.

    GO JT!!! C's on top!!! ☘️☘️☘️☘️

    Most underrated and under appreciated star in the league. He plays defense is practically getting a triple double each night

  24. @TheRobversion1

    3 straight 35 point double doubles while playing injured for the softest player in the league.

    Say his name and he appears.

    Wow amazing performance by whole Boston Celtics basketball team this evening. The player rotation that Dencer utilized tonight and coach executed this evening . Went out their and did their job. And this afternoon with grit and tenacity. They showed they can defeat and beating Magic this evening and they closed the game out in amazing fashion. This is their first final four in program history.This is a team that work together and definitely win games outside and inside the paint efficiently. And that goes from both ends floor offensively and defensively.And they continue to play phenomenal defensive and interrupt their opponents offensive and defense from the opening minute to the final minutes. And on stat sheets as well from opening minutes to the last second of the basketball game. Due to Boston defense the magic blew the game And that was phenomenal from both ends of the floor from the Boston Celtics and you have to give them credit for their defensive plays through out whole game getting stops and stealing and out rebounding the magic. And the Boston starters and players that wear the Boston jersey played excellent tonight. And they all should be proud of this evening perfomance . Player stats and Boston leaders for this game Jayson Tatum 35 points 10 assists and eight rebounds Jaylen Brown twenty three points six rebounds and three assists Payton Pritchard 10 points three rebound and one assists Sam Hauser 10 points and two rebounds Al horford 9 points four assists and six rebounds.Derrick White five points five assists and four rebounds Luke Kornet nine points two assists and four rebounds.

    Don’t let jt play like this or better for the remainder of the playoffs if he does it’s over for everyone

    Thank you to the Magic for really testing the Celtics' mettle in this series. Their defense forced the Celtics to make adjustments, strategies that will serve them well for the rest of the playoffs. I was very encouraged by the fact that the C's were able to score without relying so heavily on three-pointers. These last three games were good, old-fashioned 1980s basketball–you know, back when teams looked for the best shot available.
