    Stephen A scared cause he knows how good JT really is especially in the playoffs even before got hurt against his Knicks Tatum was cooking dropping 40 plus and was headed for a 50 piece, JT presence alone makes things eaiser for D White and the rest of the guys he will open up more shots for the others!!

    SpursNation here and I gotta say Bronson is a fool MVP material for real. But I would still put 😂 ET Wemby and Castle on my top 3 MVP list. Now 🤠 hate it if you want to but I love my Spurs.

    The most dangerous team in the NBA this season? it’s gotta be the Pistons after what happened against the Hornets last night. Malice at the Palice Part Deux.

    Jayson Tatum should come off the bench if he does come back

    When JT comes back and if he is not 100% in which we all assumed, he would be the best 6th man in the league and that would still elevate the Celtics. It would not disrupt JB because JT knows what hes brother can do. JT can be another spot up shooter for the Cs. He is a champ, he knows how to win. And most importantly, fans will be electric when they see JTs on the floor playin.

    Celtics is one of the best team without him and could be playing in ECF, JT coming back only make Celtics better and has a chance to win another championship.

    February 10, 2026 at 6:20 pm

    Most people who want him to sit out are scared of the fact that if he comes back he’s going to eliminate their fav team lol

    Problem is they might replace Tatum mark my words his stock is still really high and brown obviously capable of carrying them imagine w the pieces you get for Tatum how successful this team can be just be on the lookout!!!

    SA dosen’t want to see the Knicks lose 😂

    When JB learns to pass and learns when to stop dribbling for 20 seconds at the top just to go no where and throw teammates hand grenades then he will get my vote

    TADUM NEEDS TO LEARN THE SAME REHAB PROGRESS AND TIME TABLE THAT KEVIN DURRANT DID TO BE READY AGAIN LIKE K.D. HAS BEEN…😊😅🎉❤

    SAS fears for his life that Tatum could com back & knockouts Knicks in round 2

  23. @dettol3647

    February 10, 2026 at 9:35 pm

    Jaylen Brown won’t win the MvP because he’s too outspoken on social issues, voters don’t like that

  24. @KyleD17

    February 10, 2026 at 10:05 pm

    Cade SGA and Jalen top 3 in my opinion
