[@Mitch_Feral]

Tatum is really living the 'doing what the team needs' mantra - C's went into the post-season on an absolute backslide in rebounding, and a month of not moving the ball, and JT has responded by taking defensive rebounding responsibilities with his full effort, and leading the team in assists. I'm critical of the dude's shot selection, a lot of the time, but his all around play, and his defense - especially his help defense - has been superb.

[@tluvsbeauty1]

His help defense is always unbelievable. My favourite thing to watch him do.

[@NobodyLikesKarens]

He’s doing what’s needed to get wins it shows his maturity instead of chasing stats he’s being a star in whatever role he’s needed in

[@Negromancer1987]

finally playing team ball and opening the floor ............ and is definitely a big part of the defensive anchor ! But he isnt a superstar hes just a volume shooter ... Nobody is above one another on the team,they compliment each other perfectly ! In my eyes JBs maturity and determination makes him the leader on and off the court !

[@freshmint007]

Credit to him, but his body language is kinda telling that he isn't doing it from the heart, rather from neccessity and he doesn't look like he's enjoying it on the floor like the other guys. That's just what I've picked up, maybe I'm wrong...

[@Mitch_Feral]

@@freshmint007 I think that's a reasonable way to feel. Tatum's always been a little mellow for my taste - but he's consistent: never too hot, never too cold. He and Brown have adopted a professionalism on the court that doesnt seem to be how either of them act off of it, real straight faced, very focused; I think the expectations they are working under made it necessary. Those two have to wear the game face, all the time - the rest of the team gets to relax, emote, get excited. But I may be wrong, too, just how it looks to me.

[@Beantown-ww1cr]

JT dont listen to the media keep playing team first basketball thats the way to win because its a team sport 💪☘️☘️💪

Head up JT great defense and playmaking tonight!

The league is so hungry. Celtics in 5

[@luismarin933]

You can tell hes not super happy where he is at right even though hes affecting the game in other ways that matter.

[@sakthithanigai5036]

Ppl are overreacting to the shooting struggles. That’s the only thing he hasn’t done at an elite level this postseason. The biggest thing is his turnovers. He had 100 in the playoffs 2 years ago, he’s about to have a third of that this playoffs

[@joaofernandes1397]

Regardless of whether or not hes doing the other stuff he'll need to score better come finals time cuz they'll need him to so they win the championship

The Lebron James of the current generation.

[@ckell15]

Let’s be real!! JT is not embracing that role!! Look at his body language EVERYTIME he doesn’t score 30ppg. It’s even worse when he has an off shooting night. He is saying what is needed but he does not want to be a passer. His offensive play has been soo bad post All star break, he has to. He took the most shots on the team!! Like c’mon. Just look at Ant body language as a “do what is needed” player compared to Tatum. Night and day! Give it up Tatum and really embrace a “do as needed role”

[@MDrepresentah]

Tatum been ass he needs to step up if we are to win any series going forward. Brunson, Ant, Luka they’ve all been better than Tatum.

[@emanueltavares353]

How anyone can trust this guy to play well, is beyond me

[@wklguy2376]

18pts/13reb/5 ast/3 blk. highest starter +/- despite shooting a tour date. far from ass

[@Mitch_Feral]

He's leading the team in rebounds and assists, taking 9 FTs a game, scoring 20+ a night, and playing all-nba defense. He's top 10 in win share. What's the point of being eight deep if you're gonna whine when one guy doenst do literally everything?

If you continue to play like this it would be an embarrassment for you to accept 400 mil. Brunson is shooting 45%. Brad should send you to the G. League. Dude got locked up by Strus. 😂

[@Yrgzip0]

He’s being doubled, do you seriously think he was being guarded by just strus?😂. He’s not shooting great, but look at everything else he’s doing to compensate. He’s playing the best defense of his career, averaging over 10 boards, and averaging the most assists on the team. As long as he keeps making the right basketball play and the Celtics keep winning by 25 he can play like this all he wants. Basketball is more than scoring and his volume is his lowest since 2019 it’s not like he’s shot chucking. Hes getting the most FTA in his career on the 3rd least shots in his career, just needs to hit some more of the shots he’s taking. Its not the end of the world he’s not playing all-out vs the Cleveland cavaliers lmao

[@TheBlackHole2024]

@@Yrgzip0 But the guys scoring 40 n 50 pts are not even though they are the only scorers 😂 stop Ok that's exactly what we want from the loud mouth who claims he's the best in the game. To be carried by others. Now you're telling me he's not playing all out. How embarrassing. The excuses are hilarious.

[@lenzoltan]

It's shocking but if you think about it Tatum's championship window in Boston is closing this season. Going forward he will not be able to compete against SGA, ANT, Brunson, Banchero, Mathurin.

[@adamwillis908]

It's shockingly cap, Tatum is literally one year older than SGA, and the same age as Brunson, he is quite literally just entering prime. Whatever you're smoking on, it's time to set it down and go to bed.

Tatum needs to be better offensively. I get we have a lot of firepower but this isnt the time for him to disappear. He hasn't scored more than 25 points in a month and a half. Thats a problem.

And I hate that people say he is not worried about scoring! He is still jacking up over 18 shots a game. He clearly cares about scoring 😂

[@drjcup3228]

I still believe that JT can take over a game offensively is he has to. Fortunately, Boston has so weapons that he doesnt necessarily have to do that. There’s other ways that he impacts the game - defense, rebounding, making plays for others.
