Warrior's fan here, there's just a culture of hating on this Celtics squad. They had a deep run early on and the bar has been set high ever since. Players like Joker and Luka came up short many times before Joker got a ring last year, and you did not see even remotely close to the same level of criticisms. Luka could run someone over with a car and people would celebrate it. Meanwhile Tatum just out here playing ball and people hate him.

Y’all ignore them having to grow into players and act like they should have been winning their whole 7 yr career🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂 This how simple y’all think, you really think switching Luka for Tatum would result in rings but in reality Celtics get much worse defensively, immediately go from team ball to Luka ball, and players like JB/Smart/White/Grant W/ Rob Will never develop into the players they became.

[@snipepaths0926]

We’re lowkey comparing him to Magic, Bird, Bron(07 finals), Kobe, Duncan, and Durant. All those superstars made the finals and except for Bron and Durant won those chips under the age of 25. And as a Celtics fan I don’t see him as potientally being a top 15 player all time. I think he can be Paul Pierce/pippen. Def a top 50 guy when it’s all said and done. I think we need to be more objective when it comes to the career of Tatum. It is hard for young success. It’s not normal.

[@slappydoodle]

As a mavs fans living in bflo ny I don't think I bring any biases here I don't dislike the Celtics or anything But there's something about tatums game.

[@bpdmf2798]

One thing people always leave out is that for the first 5 season of Tatum's career he had between $30 and $60 million dollars worth of cap space injured on the bench every single playoff run. The only one he didn't have major injuries and he was forced to be not the #1 his second year, they were knocked out ugly in the second round with Kyrie and Hayward at the helm. Between Hayward, Kyrie, Kemba, and even Jaylen Brown once missed entire playoffs (though he only decided to get wrist surgery because the team was .500 that season, he could've put it off but it wasn't worth missing the start of the following season for a really mid season). Tatum has been available and playing in every single playoff game the Celtics have been in since he joined the team. Availability is the best ability. He's missed more games in his career from covid and resting the final reg season game before the playoffs than from injury. Tatum's first NBA game Hayward snapped his leg 5 minutes into the first season and he had to pick up LeBron so game because of it and still put up like 19pts 10reb. I understand the criticisms of Tatum's game, he's not perfect by any means, but he's damn good on both sides of the ball and he plays every single game for his team. His defense is often overlooked but he's one of the hardest PF to score on in the league, a vital defensive position.

[@dontatme__]

Tatum's problem is he's judged to his ceiling which is really high. he's had all kinds of success and highs in his playoff career. 50+ point games, game 7 tecords, 25 games of 30+ most likely the most playoff points before 27 etc etc. Hes also not a hyper aggressive guy vocally. We gotta stop expecting him to play to his ceiling and understand hes gonna have highs and lows like everyone

[@gregleavitt1255]

As a C's fan, I see Tatum as an A-student in life and always wants to meet or exceed expectations at every level. And he's a humble, excellent human being. With the rosters we've had, he has met or exceeded expectations in terms of team results and he's been humble and excellent in terms of dealing with both the success and failure throughout. This is the best roster he's ever had to work with and he's the best all around player he's ever been. All the haters will move on to another stupid subject once he wins.

[@mattislinx]

The disrespect for Tatum has been crazy. If he doesn't score 30 the narrative is that he's playing bad. Even though he has great play making for his team and plays great defense while still putting up something like 23/12/5. The volume isn't there like it once was. He's probably only averaging like 15-16 shots a game. You have guys like Brunson shooting 30+ times consistently putting up 40 points because his team needs that from him. The Celtics don't need Tatum to do that.

Jayson is a monster

[@JasenMinus]

Damn shai and tatum same age..crazy

[@KKOPPONG]

The moment you let the Celtics win the league is fucked for at least 2 to 3 more titles.

[@oocciivv]

They’re gonna gloss over Kareem winning League MVP during Magic’s rookie year. They’re making it seem like Magic was the man as soon as he got there. And that finals mvp came after Kareem averaged 32/12/4 blocks in playoffs and finals thru 5 games.

[@dearshomy]

I think he's a victim of his success and to be fair, the failures are shocking. Getting to the finals in 2022 and then getting booted by an arguably inferior Heat in 2023 has a certain look.

[@El_Fonzo]

Giving an individual credit for team accomplishments is gross AF

[@dctae]

Most playoff wins with no ring is crazy😂they been to finals like once for sure maybe twice

[@penkima4923]

Tatum has made the finals once. He was 23 years old, and they say young teams don't know the game well enough to win.

[@dctae]

@@penkima4923 I just said that they been to finals once maybe twice..what you talking about 😂

[@VictorVonDoom.]

@@penkima4923he was 24…do your research

[@Andemur]

@dctae Whats he's talking about? He was confirming that Tatum has only been to the Finals once. Not "maybe twice" like you stated. Bro was doin you a solid.

[@penkima4923]

@@Andemur I reacted more to him saying Tatum has most playoff wins without a ring is crazy. Tatum played his first playoffs at 19 years old. It's not a good look for Tatum not to have a ring, but it's not that crazy either.

Its so true gets the hate of lebron but not the love wow

[@charkyicenhour587]

Sometimes. Has to forfeit the 1st matxh to study.. heck few weeks ago. Crazy Denver style.

[@thoughtsintheclouds8516]

They only care about how much points he score. He has been facilitating very well but they don’t care cus he’s not dripping 50 every game

[@nlmbeli1562]

If ant man gets rid of the champs they just did the boston Celtics a huge favor matchup favors up to end a beautiful season

[@missdaisy11000]

Honestly i feel like the heat were the celtics ass wooping and now they ain't playing down to their opponents anymore

[@panthrakikos13]

wasn't that a** woopin the seriies with the warriors though??

[@chulow9024]

If he wins a ring, that's just gonna open up more pressure an problems to be better than Paul P & KG... 1 ring aint gonna do it for Tatum

JT had success with guys around his age. No vet that came in to help or guide. Magic, Bird, & Duncan had early success because of talented vets
