They have a best record in nba and after tonight Denver is trailing by one. When all healty Boston is probably the best team in the league,I agree with that. But best player in the league!? I like Him but tonight he shooted 9/27 with 7 TO…Joker did not have a nights like that this season. Don’t disrespect b2b2b mvp.

shooting is not everything, homeboy. Tatum did everything else
Crnjak
January 20, 2023 at 4:18 pm
@12branko12
So did Jokic…..night after night. He could easily average 30+ points if he just take number of shots that other superstar takes. Tatum is curently top 5,maybe top 3 player in the league…no doubt it. I love watchin Celtics and Tatum…they are deepest team in nba. But SAS is Jokic hater and always finding reasons for his mvp case.

January 20, 2023 at 6:12 pm
@Crnjak I told you alraedy I do think that Jokic is better player and, imo, deserves the MVP. I just don’t like how Tatum’s underappreciated considering the other top candidates (I am talking mostly about fans). And SAS is typical SAS, he should not surprise you. The guy will never support a foreign player.
Shoot It Up !
January 20, 2023 at 12:44 pm
If you watched the game Tatum played bad tbh. And I’m a Celtics fan. His stat line is good but he nearly costed us the game. He turned the ball over 3 times in the last minute of the 4th quarter. JB saved us with that tying 3

January 20, 2023 at 12:49 pm
So did Curry our defense stepped up on curry if u noticed all his shots we’re definitely hard that’s why he couldn’t really do anything
MJS FAM
January 20, 2023 at 12:50 pm
And also we have to remember Brown just coming back after a week and he was rusty if brown played like his old self last night We win that game in Regulation
Issiah Zeek
January 20, 2023 at 12:59 pm
@MJS FAM Horford… he was the key once again! I believe he hit a 3 before JB did to bring them closer and switched on to Curry… it’s funny cuz Curry could’ve punished him but instead settled! Good game but I think both teams are still Flawed! Warriors are a shell of themselves… Boston should’ve smoked them and I’m a Warriors fan!

Warriors are .500 if that…. And the Celtics can barley beat them… Warriors won the 1st game against them…. Bucks are best in the east don’t be fooled because of injures.

How come every time they talk about the Celtics it’s always a Quick Take? Why can’t they get a full segment. Best record in basketball for a while now.

Much as I also want Celtics to get credit for their record it’s a bit difficult to get a 10-20 minute segment out of “yeah Celtics are the best team, roll credits” ????

Idk bro I dont see how you can say that Tatum is a consensus first pick for mvp qtm, while jokic is literall 0.1 assists a game off avaraging a triple double while being nr 1 in the west.

@Jim W 1 for 11 1 for 12 6 for 17 32 fg pct and 26 percent on the season for 3s you right that’s pretty efficient lmao

Tatum against Nets was doubled 1st 3 quarters and finished the game 29 % shooting. When he shot at basket and someone finished it, it was counted as an assist. At least 5 guys above him at mvp race. What a clown S. A. S.
