“Tatum isn’t Him” lmaoo this ain’t an IG comments section man

[@jehoshualewis2525]

But it's true

[@mikehunt40]

I think this is tatums best playoff run so far. He's never won 6 out of 8 before. I mean that's really good. He needs to not listen to the media and keep doing what he's doing. Colin is clearly a laker fan, and is trying to get tatum to force up shots again. This team isn't built that way.

[@mikejones9906]

We get it, you're gonna hate on Tatum until he wins a title.

[@mbarto909]

no he’s gonna be objective and hold tatum accountable until he wins a title. all that talent on his team since he’s entered the league and hasn’t gotten the job done. let’s be real now

[@mbarto909]

how many top 3 picks enter the league in today’s game with kyrie on their team, jaylen brown, marcus smart, al horford, gordon hayward, etc

[@juliothom2408]

I am so over you, Colin, about the Tatum hate. You’re saying a Top 6-10 player at worst isn’t good enough to win a title on a balanced team that doesn’t exclusively depend on his scoring to be successful. You don’t like the team, fine. But the hate is too much.

[@mikejones9906]

When the Celtics lose a game you know it's trolling time lol. There's nothing bad you can say about them, so they just make things up.

[@TheBrotherHoodSports]

It's easy to call something hate when you don't agree.

[@juliothom2408]

@@TheBrotherHoodSports The Tatum hate is overblown. He’s a good player. A very good player. He doesn’t act like a me first jerk on the court like Kobe and MJ did, and as a result he’s a lesser player than guys that haven’t accomplished a tiny bit of what he has playoff wise. It’s ridiculous.

Colin when Boston wins the title: “i always said this team was special. It was only a matter of time. I always said id take Tatum over so many of these other guys”

[@chrsatumo9]

Colin: but the lakers have great players... bro stahp they got whooped 😂

[@chrsatumo9]

I love the hate that tatum gets but when the 76ers make the playoffs everyone is like "how will you stop embiid" same goes for gianis when minus one year they have been out played every year

[@Jonteponte71]

The man (Embiid) has crumbled like a wet paper bag in playoff games for the last seven years even when he hasn't been hurt. And has never got out of the second round. Tatum has four ECF's and one finals in the same time. And have played almost 100 playoff games before the age of 26. Guess who still get's the benefit of the doubt?

[@scruffd0g193]

I’m a NY fan, let’s chill on the Tatum slander. Dude is a TOP 10 player.

[@bobbyboy667]

Lmao Tatum has the most playoff points since entering the league, he has the game 7 points record, he's had more success than some vets and he's only 26. You're just a hater and this take has ALREADY aged like milk

[@edwardoverby1945]

Tatum is as much a star for the Celtics, he does a lot to keep the other team in the game. First if the Celtics have the ball at the end of a quarter or half, Tatum will dribble the clock down and throw up and off balance prayer that rarely hits the rim. If he feels he got fouled he throws his hands up and gets beat going back on defense. If you doubt it, look at the last twenty games, he does it every game. I would much rather have the kid from Minnesota or SGA, OR Jokic. Tatum should be traded if they don't win the championship.

[@jauquinfnjay]

Yall complaining about a team playing as a team n not depending on 1 guy 😂

Few days ago it was diferent. You tell us Tatum is THE GUY. Not Jokič not Luka. What change in few days.

[@mattwatts33]

Celtics could win 2 titles in a row and everyone would still hate them and say they suck

[@edwardoverby1945]

No one forces up anything for Tatum, he thinks he should be the greatest player, when in reality I like Jalen Brown better, I'm not saying Brown is better than Tatum, Brown is hungrier.

[@hdleonard2]

You don’t need a hierarchy on a team you need roles. Everybody on this team knows their role and are crossed trained to help out in other areas. This idea that you have to have a dominant player to be a great team is ridiculous!

[@Belmagh]

These clowns are blind. This is Tatum's best Play-offs to date. He's controlling the games so that his team wins by doing a multitude of tasks aside from only scoring. He's winning in the fashion that Bill Russell did by using his skill set to better his team - allowing a host of teammates to go off and lead in scoring. Brow, White, Porzingus and Holiday are Heinson, Cousy, Havlicek and Jones of 60 years ago. It takes tremendous restraint of one's ego to pull this off.

[@Sp0_eight_0]

With respect Unc, Tatum's "pop" is his total unselfishness. I hear the body language, (still young). You give him the LeBron treatment.

[@Sp0_eight_0]

Also changed my prof pic to bust your chops lol. Your mindset helped propel some success in my life. Thanks!

[@CrankyKong317]

I been saying this for 4 years ime was the best thing for Tatum… He’s needs a dad on the court

[@mrbrown2200]

Colin is just mad he can’t hoop and doesn’t have one athletic bone in his body

[@jmd11185]

No one is "him". Tatum isn't "that guy" either.

[@steveboyd3455]

Please stop with the 'Whos Him' or 'Who is not Him' nonsense. Ridiculous. 'Him' is not a descriptive term in any useful way.

[@cdplaya337]

Why Collin throw a shot at Jason for watching basketball like he’s not an adult 😂

[@shahrozcotardia5521]

did dude say 2014 spurs didnt have a all-time great?????

[@ps5gaymer]

Colin is right. JT is a two at best.

[@MLHunt]

I don't think Colin is hating here, I think it's a fair analysis of Tatum's game. To my mind he's a very talented player but he's missing something--that will to take over a game when the team needs it that so many truly great playoff performers posess.

[@mikehunt40]

Dude get off the crack. Tatum is that guy. He's played over a 100 playoff games already. Do you think that's an accident?

The Celtics need a coach. Jacking-up 3's is his philosophy.

[@jtellis653]

The Celtics take around the same amount of 3’s as other teams. They just hit them at a higher clip. This narrative that they jack up an unholy amount of 3’s is a lie

[@dskwared2u610]

@@jtellis653 According to the NBA advanced stats the Celtics take the most 3's of any team in the league. They're dead last in 2 point field goal attempts & 3rd to last in 2 pt field goals made. The Nuggets are second to last in 3 point attempts. They are 2nd in 2 point field goals made. Try again. It feels like a showdown coming.

@@tyriantaylor711 Ok grow up. First of all, it’s not hate. Let’s get educated and find other words to use. Next, the comments on him are mostly criticism. He’s too passive when more times, he should be aggressive and assertive. He plays like he lacks confidence. He’s shown many times he’s “afraid” of big moments. He fails to remain consistent. None of these are hateful comments like so many of you fools like to say. But I get it, it’s much easier to say that than to accept real facts and data
