Don’t care how good tacko will ever be, he makes people happy when he’s out there!

They need to play Tacko more. He needs to develop against NBA level talent.

The biggest problem is his lack of stamina, he’s really slow

They need to ease into it. We need a center not a rookie of the year.

no one brings more joy to nba fans than Tacko. nobody.

Kevin Schart Boban has something to say to that

I absolutely love this guy, how hope he gets in the rotation and stays healthy.

Should’ve play that guy more. Great rim protection and the guy can score.

[@Dreadedscoper_]

When tacko's in why do people drive? i feel like ive seen so many people go at him only to realize its like running into a brick wall. love watching him play and hes going to be very good against the 76ers

[@mjunior2nd530]

I think it will be a challenge to posterize him

[@Dreadedscoper_]

Punching Bass I feel like young Lebron could do it. If you watch old highlights of him it’s insane how fast he is. I’m thinking giannas or derrick jones

[@bruceyoung6484]

If Tacko plays at the very beginning, I think the Celtics is # 1 standing from the east... Please give him a chance to play more because he is a humble guy. (B0STON CELTICS).

[@kravchenko93]

If Tacko will play more minutes, NBA must have to change the rules.

[@cashoutsteve2495]

Yup I can see that happening!!!

[@GZQ9]

Change what rules?

[@dannydanggang1675]

I'm a happy Celtics fan. I did a school project on the draft and Tacko was a big part of it so seing him on my favorite team brings a smile to my face

[@lorelieyojmartin1164]

We ❤ tacko..😍😘😚😙💕🏀💪

[@DaBean4Eva]

Let's just preserve Tacko for the latter part of the season and into the playoffs. Can't allow other team's scouts to exploit/identify his weaknesses in the video rooms yet!!!!🤫

More tacko please!

[@jroro755]

Just trade tacko if you'll just let him play 1 min per game?tacko deserve to play more minutes.. ⚓ click if you agree guys😊

[@spacepioneer4070]

Nothing is deserved in the NBA, you have to earn those minutes. He needs more experience and time, it'll come.

[@northernreflections4653]

He’s developing his game down in the G league. They’re being selective in how they play him to give him the best chance to succeed.

[@immasoxfanbaby]

Watching tacko play for 10 seconds was worth watching a blowout game...

[@karthikbobba5139]

Here is my final Goat lineup. Alex Caruso Patrick Mccaw Brian Scalabrine Tacko Fall And Michael Jordan because if I add another goat it would be overpowered

[@pepecisse1273]

Tacko

[@patrickgullixson2054]

Why doesn’t he play more?

[@JB-sv5pr]

in time just needs to get stronger and use to the team! i think he will be a closer for awhile then work up to start!

[@kjmac1973]

Because he's being developed in the Cs G-League affiliate: the Maine Red Claws.

[@libertarian4323]

Too slow and not able to guard the perimeter. Might have played some 20 years ago, but not in today's game where most centers and power forwards can shoot. You have no place to hide him on defense. Boban has the same problem- they can only play against other slow, non-shooting centers.

[@aul2466]

@@libertarian4323 look at his style dude. Tacko doesn't need shoot ability, just standing in paint area and a little footwork, he could score. Easy for him. And you can see if the other players in paint area make a shoot, tacko is easily for block that shooy

[@libertarian4323]

@@aul2466 He's basically Manute Bol. 30 years ago he would have played some. In today's game he nothing more than a human victory cigar.

Why would they not play this guy?😭

[@spiritualscholar5906]

Basketball is good at Tacko

[@FaithfulFumoFan23]

They need to give this dude more minutes. He has the potential to be an effective player and not just a glorified mascot like Boban.

[@acesmoove9196]

If tacko gets more pt the celtics will be dangerous

[@anthonycolon6621]

i think kembas lack of scoring was due to the fact that he wanted to make sure Fire AND Ice get to the all star team

[@malicktjmatiabeyuwi7587]

Tacko can play but everyone underestimated him cos they won't want to see tall and big black players to dominate nba no more

why are bostonnians caricaturing this man because he is 7feet tall and more? just treat him like a normal human being none to see keep going people

[@Renewed_Mind]

Why don’t they start him? (Serious)

[@chrishansen8119]

They're a contending team, and while Tacko has a lot of upside, he is still an untested rookie.

[@ilovejvopranks6164]

Theis and Kanter are proven and consistent vets, Tacko has been exposed several times in the summer league

[@penguinking2515]

Plus he’s a little slow on close outs, and game planning defensively, you can just isolate him away from the hoop by matching him with a shooting big. Offensively he can’t really sit anywhere except in the paint, so I guess they could use him in a DeAndre Jordan role

[@ichapeaugueye5930]

Cool

[@noxidethegeneral7411]

I've been a fan of tacko fall since he played basketball in college it's good to see him in the nba
