[@jd3thegreattm380]

Those were not fouls on JT. Refs just giving jimmy benefit of doubt because he fell and there was contact.

[@dontatme__]

Refs giving him the benefit cuz he was getting cooked.

[@masstarvation]

Tatum cooked Butler and it wasn't even close. When Tatum wants to, and forces his will, he is KD-level unstoppable. Just wish he was more consistent on driving instead of chucking threes.

[@Sam-db4mr]

Jimmy may be a dog but in a 1:1 matchup vs Tatum, it’s a one-sided affair. Jimmy is too small and has no chance of stopping Tatum from getting buckets.

They have a 1 inch difference in height 💀

JT is actually 6’10 a lot of analysts, players in the league, coaches and even Draymond said it last year after the finals on one of his podcast

[@judyclarkson5887]

For Bleacher team, pls keep making videos like this. Really hate it when a certain narrative can go so out of proportion amongst the casual fans like Butler is so good defensively while they never mention Tatum to be at least his level defensively (which is truly a bad take if oneself watches these gms tbh).

[@matthewrodman4902]

Lol heat fan butthurt

[@bobsinclair8046]

no fr his dfense is so good its just not known he gets many blocks and stops

[@judyclarkson5887]

@@bobsinclair8046 Noticed that since that Nets-Boston series... Ppl never credit him for his defense on Kd on that series despite him largely taking that role most of the time with Grant Will. Im sure Kd shot worst when Tatum guarded him compared to other players (too bad there's no stats for this despite my research since that series).

[@Weapon-we7lz]

Had Jimmy spooked

[@raveun2thejoy]

My critique of Tatum had been that he was a very good player, but not a consistently dominant one. If he keeps doing this, there'll be nothing more I can say. When he's hitting his mid-range shots, there's not much you can do.

[@tarunganesg9700]

legit this series everything has been good about him except his 3 point shoot. He can be an outstanding finisher, and he's played with some of the best defensive intensity and rebounding intensity of his career + his playmaking out of doubles has gotten a lot better since the warriors series. If he stops resorting to jacking up 3s when its not falling and only shoots 5-6 a game he will undoubtedly be a superstar.

[@JayAre-fg9vv]

​@@tarunganesg9700 he's already a superstar and arguably the best player in the NBA

[@wazemo2764]

​@JayAre-fg9vv def not in the conversation for best player.

[@roshango125ab]

Tatum was on pace to drop 50 on Jimmy. He slowed down in the second half when they put Vincent on him who i was surprised to see matched up better on him

[@GoggleMan25]

Vincent short but a bit stocky and like a fire hydrant almost while Tatum is tall and Lanky though much stronger than he once was, but this is similar to the weird matchups KD used to struggle with early in his career where he’d struggle a bit with guys who were short with a wide base

[@JayAre-fg9vv]

U mean when they doubled Tatum everytime he had the ball lol

[@OBMManMan]

Cleanest blocks by JT

[@kimberlybecoatstudio7020]

Bro I told my friend that Celtics are going to be the champions and he said “heck no they’re down 3-0” and look who’s talking now

[@seniorgracias3332]

İts not over ı dont think butler and adebayo play that bad in 7 match,also ı dont think celtics shot that bad close celtics win!

[@kntfhvn]

great win but they still got one more game to play before they can even get to the finals. will be a tougher pill to swallow if they lose game 7 after climbing all the way to tie the series.

[@eshw23]

Its not over yet, but hopefully game 7 will be an awesome game to watch.

[@ginjoe6860]

I root for the celtics but Nuggets are on another level from the Heat,wanting Celtics vs Nuggets final ,that'd be actually competitive

Tatum is in a different situation were he’s just one on one almost the entire game. The isn’t a player on the Celtics not helping on Butler.

I still don't understand how they called a foul on JT at 1:31 left in the game. Either way, C's win

i know right? Tatum jump higher than Butler no body contact ,ball hits JT on the forearm

[@MichaelMarkky345]

@@edc1022 exactly, plus Tatum got fouled and at least one drive where they didn’t call anything

[@dontatme__]

It's the bullshit butler factor. Guy gets one of the softest whistles in the league. Shot 5-21 in that game 14 FTs 10 of them coming in the final 4 minutes. Absolute BS. He can't score without that soft whistle.

[@dariustheegreat]

Either Jimmy is scared of Tatum or he respects the shit outta him. He looks stagnant whenever JT is guarding him. He still attacks the basket but I think it's because he knows he can draw the foul.

[@johnrouguine3090]

He was scared, bro wouldn’t even look at the basket with tatum on him.

Jimmy is not on Tatum's level. Jimmy works hard but not talented like Tatum, big difference

[@fridelphinenkongho1158]

No jayson Tatum is not more skilled than jimmy what are you on Jimmy better playmaker, better handling in term of control it and making concise move, he better finisher and has better Comparing Jimmy Butler to Jayson Tatum is terrible Defensive Impact: Butler is known for his tenacious defense and versatility. He can guard multiple positions effectively and has been named to multiple NBA All-Defensive teams. Tatum, while a solid defender, does not have the same reputation or impact on the defensive end as Butler. 3. Playmaking and Passing Ability: While Tatum has improved his playmaking over time, Butler has consistently showcased his playmaking skills. He is an excellent passer who creates opportunities for his teammates. Butler's ability to distribute the ball and involve his teammates in the offense gives him an advantage over Tatum in terms of overall playmaking ability. 5. Overall Impact and Versatility: While Tatum is an exceptional scorer and has a smooth offensive game, Butler's impact extends beyond scoring. He contributes in multiple facets of the game, including defense, playmaking, rebounding, and leadership. Butler's well-roundedness and versatility make him a more impactful and valuable player on both ends of the court. Athleticism: jimmy is faster better agility stronger, better body coordination and body control and has a higher vertical jumping up to 41 inches while jayson on jumps like 34 to 37 This argument is not even close😂😂😂😂😂
