Jayson Tatum Celtics LUCKY to Have Kristaps Porzingis

[@donvon5774]

Jt was getting anywhere on the floor tonight when he wanted.. Fam going to be unstoppable this season

[@kyleharris2307]

Unstoppable! The shot mix was great. He was hitting 3s, mid-range, post up, fast breaks, and attacking the rim... it was the complete bag tonight! The squad is only going to mesh more and more from moving forth

[@DK-nc9wr]

Agreed. You could definitely feel his intent on many of those drives. Those 15lbs are paying dividends

[@treasongaming5295]

Facts facts, while I love JB lord knows he look like he was trying to give that game away smh KP , JT and Jrues terrific defense late was key!!! Knicks are tough, good win!

[@IggyBiggy]

My notes from last night: - Tatum had excellent shot selection - Prozingis fits like a glove - Holiday looked great defensively, still finding his place offensively - Brown needs to pass he missed wide open guys several times - We still are having 4th Q meltdowns - Defense looks more focused

[@jcdatruth9369]

I'm low-key worried about JB finding his spots..His turnovers would say he needs the ball in his hands less n with D.W. and J.H. out there .he needs to cut to basket more for easy buckets..idk Joe wants him dribbling around too much..he will have to find his way..almost looks like we don't need him out there

Joe was talking about the Celtics not having a defensive identity. Keep his comments in context, he was talking about defense prior to making that comment.

[@JB-sv5pr]

JT set the tone for the season ! You were saved tonight after ur pass to KP I see you lift your hands up feeling saved !

[@pplRretards]

I think he just feels relieved to have someone of KPs talent to be able to play a 2 man game with in the pick n pop/roll game imo KP is exactly what JT and this team needed to make them multidimensional scoring wise! Not to mention that KP can find his own shot and work in the paint and mid range as well!

[@paulluu17]

you didnt watch the game if you think pp was playing good last night

[@michaelauger8077]

@@paulluu17I didn’t say he had a good game. I stated he needs the ball in his hands. He shouldn’t have to play off the ball. He pushes the ball and is more effective when he controls the offense. I feel the same about Derek White. Our point guards need to control the pace and not depend on Tatum and Brown to create the offense, we all know how that goes.

[@paulluu17]

@michaelauger8077 they just need the set faster and jaylen shouldnt playmake anymore. i agreed derrick should have the ball more to play point.

[@Joe-it9sy]

​@@KarpralisLupExcept their rebounding was absolutely terrible and damn near lost the game because of it. Porzingis is a great scorer but he's not renowned for his rebounding ability nor is Horford. They literally had to rely on Jayson to do all the work for them.

[@BillyCent50cal]

Would tatum and brown win a championship if kp came into his own or would they play and pout mess it all up if they dont get all the credit. Thats what happened last year between brown n tatum. I could see the politics on the court whos championship it was going to be legacy and stopped playing basketball a team game the only stat that matters is on the score board at the end. Never in my life a person that studies the game loves the game be disgusted by what i saw last year.

Can we please get better press? These people are asking irritating questions. They seem like critics rather than local press reporters. You could tell Tatum was irritated by their dumb questions and lack of enthusiasm for the local team. Just plain bad. Fealt sorry Jayson had to endure this.

[@kevinhouse4376]

Reporters, even local reporters, are not supposed to act like fans and "show enthusiasm for the local team." Conversely, they also should not go out of their way to be overly critical in an attempt to appear neutral, either. They are simply supposed to provide info to their readers and listeners in the most objective way possible.
