Tatum will prove yโall wrong. Just like JB did and he was labeled average by so many. Now heโs balling out of control. Tatum has gotten better every year and I bet all the slander will be turned to admiration.

I’ve been saying it – I don’t think the Nuggets lose to the Timberwolves in the playoffs with both teams healthy but the Timberwolves have arguably given the Nuggets the most hell out of any Western team and you could see that in their playoff series last season

Such big analysts, being on national TV, agreeing Denver is in Championship form? Do you “pros” realize the Minnesota played with their 4th center option? They lost by 3 points without Towns, yes, but you fail to add Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid. Fully healthy Wolves will crush the Nuggets. Mark my words, if the Wolves and the Nuggets meet in the playoffs, fully healthy Wolves will crush the Nuggets, by my prediction, 4-1 or 4-2.

Listen , they wanna talk a bout a 7 game series, and all the guys they’d take over Tatum in that context. Guy is younger than the other top 7 they listed, been to 5 ECF in 7 years, one of those Brown was out the whole playoffs and the other other was the disaster where Kyrie imploded. So at 26 he has a proven track record as the best player on the most consistent team in the East. Only a few big stars have ever won a title before 27/28. Not MJ, not Lebron, not Shaq, not Giannis, not even Jokic. So he is right on track to win a title soon. Yes, he is far from a perfect player but I take him over Embiid in a series, no question. Embiid is 30 and never been past the EC semis. The Celtics have consistently exploited his flaws and beaten him repeatedly in the playoffs. So yes, his numbers pop but Tatum has delivered far more in the playoffs. He beat Embiid in a game 7 last year with 51 pts. I could care less about that MVP award. The number of huge scoring, dominant playoff games he has is impressive, and the final piece of the puzzle for him is being great in the Finals. This is his year.

LeBron will not be a factor in the playoffs they will come up short. The Lakers will break the NBA leaderships heart. Try as they may there will not be a California team in the finals.
