'EFFICIENCY and EFFORT' Shannon KEYS IN on Jaylen Brown as best Celtic over Tatum | First Take

I respect Haslam for not wanting to pin them against each other and acknowledging that they play well together. Why does ESPN need to try to seperate the two constantly?

ESPN wants that falling out story between the two of them so bad. Kyrie and Luka have no drama and everyone can see it so they're making it up on the other side.

[@TTPTG702]

The casual disrespect is so wild rn. How do you discount the impact of GRAVITY when looking at guys like Tatum. When Tatum is drawing doubles, still averaging 26, 10, and 6 in the playoffs so far, Jaylen Brown is doing 25, 6, and 2. Both are excellent players, this narrative is pointless. JB benefits from JTs gravity, and vice versa based on what the defense gives them and who is on any given night. Y'all can't say anything negative because theyve only lost 2 playoff games, so this is what you idiots want to have people conflict over.

[@WGAGENCY]

Tatum's gravity is so overblown. He's not seeing as nearly as many doubles as you think, but that shouldn't matter. If he is above the level of Brown, grade him on that scale. Double teams shouldn't even be brought up if you believe he's on that level.

[@Frank-nz1wr]

[@WGAGENCY]

@@Frank-nz1wr One of can mean top 5 or top 20. Be specific. Nba used to track double teams. Tatum has never been remotely close to seeing the amount of double teams that other superstars get. Paul George saw more double teams than Tatum last season. Paul george wanst even in the top 10

[@jmlclarke99]

@@Frank-nz1wr Please find me the stats for this season. Because I promise Tatum isn't even top 5 doubled players this season. Brunson and Shai have been seen more doubles and blitzes this season. I agree that this argument could have been used a few seasons ago, but that simply isn't the case anymore considering the whole starting 5 can shoot. Most teams are putting their best wing defenders on brown. This playoffs especially. Siakim, Okorro, Highsmith, Nesmith. Brown is also good at escaping doubles. Last year he was reckless and waited for doubles to catch hiim. This season he tends to be ahead of the defense and always wants to run on the break. The man literally was top 3 this season in fastbreak points.

Sometimes you are right. Though you click the videos so its weird that you are just now having this epiphany. What does it say about you that you actively and purposely click on a video of idiots? lol But if you have good analysts then giving hypotheticals can generate some good conversation. In where you see how others view the game, or what they value the most. They have to fill multiple hours of airtime everyday, what else do you expect them to do, or talk about? lol Yes, some topics can be disrespectful, baiting drama, and/or counterproductive, absolutely. But I wouldn't say all of them are. It is highly dependent on the analyst. And the fact they all had different players for their answer is a way of showing it is a team sport. The most important and nuanced aspect was they weren't disrespectful to another player in order to hype up or compliment another player.

It is a team sport, and yes you have “closers” that would be in a position to close due to their team’s efforts. But when LeBron and Kyrie put up 41 each, or LeBron averaged over 30 in the 2018 run.

It was insightful, no yelling over one another constantly, no ego driven rambles, just really good analysis. Its refreshing not hearing the same talking points about these teams and players that we are used to on this show, and other shows like it. They all had really good points here. Even Perk and Shannon had really good points. I feel like SAS ego interjects too much into his analysis or comments, and he repeats the same stuff over and over. lol Haslam is a breath of fresh air and sets the tone.

[@wannabegolfin24-72]

Honestly, I think the strategy is clear for Luka. The Celtics used it in the regular season both times they faced the Mavs ( I know I know regular season). Allow Luka to cook but stay at home on the others. Boston won the first game by 9 and the second by 28 These are pre and post trades for Dallas. Tatum has 39 and Brown has 34 and Luka has a 33pt triple double in the first game. The second game, Luka has a 37pt triple double again, Tatum with 32 and Brown has 25. Tatum and Brown are going to be an absolute nightmare for the Mavs the way I see this. Last point. What makes Indiana so tough is the constant action, player movement, ball movement and the unpredictability with Hali out. The Mavs tend to have less action and are much more predictable in what they run...Boston has two all-defensive backcourt members. I could be way off but I don't see this series as being that close. Minnesota is a much tougher match-up for Boston. Boston in 6 but possibly 5. I give 6 games because Kyrie and Luka can be absolute magic with their skill set.

[@jalenoj]

Excellent analysis

[@inigomontoya4032]

Jaylen... In my opinion, is better than Tatum. I don't understand how he gets all the flowers. I'm a Knicks fan, and if you were to say we could get one or the other, I'm voting Brown all day. Brown is better at creating his own shot and can catch and shoot as well as post up and get paint points. Just my opinion but I watch a lot of ball. Tatum takes many ill- advised shots and slows the offense down quite often.

Adding Pozingis and Jrue might've won this team this years title. Off-season moves do matters.

[@khalilwashington1276]

They both real good ,,but brown is a real monster 😂😮

[@rickyslyme]

Y’all don’t stop this narrative of bring one man down while praising the other? It’s absolutely disgusting!🚮 When JT takes the show in NBA finals will y’all come here and say JT over JB? Time and time again, the media is so obsessed with downplaying the Celtics, from their playing style down to the players.🚮

Brown makes 300m and yall expect Tatum to carry them EVERY game? Tatum: 30/10/6 Brown: 29/5/4 They are. BOTH elite

“Those himothies.” -UD That’s a good one.

[@BlackSantana]

Pretty good lineups right here

[@paolorossi784]

Brown should be given the keys to the Franchise. He makes more effort and is mentally stronger than Tatum. Where Brown has separated himself from Tatum is that Brown has become more efficient than Tatum. But if both Tatum and Brown had a great coach like Spoelstra, Popovich Kerr or Ime Udoka had continued as the Celtics coach, Tatum would have been a top 5-7 player in the NBA because he needs someone to push him while Brown is self driven. Its evident that Brown has worked on his game so much more than Tatum has the past 2 seasons.Tatum still has those negative tendencies of chucking hopeless 3's and Mazzulla is to blame for Tatum's lack of development in the past two seasons.

Brown always been more consistent than Tatum, this isn't new

Yo UDONIS HASLAM IS A BEAST AT THIS 💯💯🔥🗣️

Perk been out the league too long and forgot how it feels to be on the other side

[@AbelAraya]

One thing I’ve noticed about the narratives about both Boston and Dallas-both teams have been heavily disrespected and criticized by the media, so we should be taking our frustrations out on them, not to each other. Boston has been hiding in plain sight due to their dominance in the regular season, but no one respected it. Dallas made a late push into the playoffs after the trades and deals they made, but no one respected it. The media has done a disservice to both franchises, not giving them their due earnest and respect. So let’s not fall under the same trap the media is trying to do with us either. That being said, Celtics in 5 😂🍀.

[@alphamalementality7105]

It ain’t about Jt or Jb. It’s about each and everyone one the Celtics trusting each other and playing like the great team that they are.

[@Top5Dre]

The only difference is Brown doesn’t get everyone involved nearly like Tatum

[@01takeonly]

GIVE JB IS OWN FRANCHISE!

[@gordongrant444]

Fantastic analysis. UD is brilliant.

[@mtbaxel9643]

Perk can you please stop calling Luka an upcoming Superstar... He is one of the league"s best player right now...

[@NaturesChosen]

Excellent Perk Take

[@Killerqueen2000]

Brown made the biggest plays period
