Kidd calls JB as the best Celtics player and yet decides to load against Tatum on every drives

[CzarsSalad]

The praises Jaylen Brown is receiving are half hearted. People complements him just to hate on Tatum

[yaboipele]

Jayson is the Skill, Jaylen is the Will.

[takeovereverything]

Thank you for being the only creator who speaks about everything else that Jayson Tatum does on the court people swear that he hast to score 30+ to win … it tells me coop got basketball, IQ

[williamcahill]

Tatum draws 3 every time he drives, and he drive 29 freaking times in game 2. Jrue knows who drives the team and gave JT his props after the game. Jt and JB on the team is just a blessing.

[andrewharvey]

Whether or not Kidd is right, I mean, the way he answered that question he was clearly trying to create drama.

[andyhoude]

Tatum has grown so much as a player that he has found a way to still lead us despite double and triple coverage every time he even looks at the ball. It's ok he can't score 40 per game as long as he keeps leading us through his assists, rebounds, and leadership. :)

Real basketball fans don’t “think” about stat lines when watching the game ~ we let our eyes 👀 tell us who is balling, what players are making an impact.
Tatum hasn’t been shooting it well, but he’s made an impact on the game. Regardless of his shooting splits, he was the primary facilitator on offense.
Conversely, Luka had great shooting splits, played “Olay” defense, missed a bunch of free throws, and shrunk in the second half with only 8 points and 6 turnovers.
But you only hear about “He had a triple double “

That’s the problem with the game now, the way the game is viewed, offensive stats.
Fans don’t understand, defense matters.
If they don’t understand that they can never understand the nuance of the game…
It’s frustrating because many of the younger generation, it is how the understand the game ~ even many players … (remember the comedian roasting KD for saying offense wins championships… if you haven’t please look it up 😂) former players (Gil Arenas) even Lebron…many
fans simply don’t get it, and downplay it’s importance, especially when it comes to winning, and the things that will ultimately place a player in the Greatest of All Time conversation….
in short, if as an individual player they don’t compete on defense, they will never reach their full greatness, they will have a career full of stats… but in the end, there’s one era where the rules were changed to assist scoring, hopefully that era is passed and defense will be relevant again, and the very best players will be two way players… like all the TRUE greats have always been.

Thanks for your educated take — you clearly watch the games, and don’t just report off of box scores like Skap Attack.

According to Skap, Tatum got carried Game 2 all while putting up 18 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds + his good defensive effort. Apparently being 1 rebound shy of a triple double while playing above average defense that game is, “getting carried” and makes him a, “scrub”. (Skap’s words, not mine).

What Kidd said is completely true, Brown is more constant in his shooting and drives and he makes great actions when they are asked from him defensively and offensily. Tatum is always searching for his shot and forces then often also with his drives and in clutch time he is never there. Overrated player as Brown until now was underrated.

[deondavis]

I’ve been saying Jaylen is better for years because he is … Kidd may just agree with that .. if u watch the game there’s an argument for both but I’m taking Jaylen brown ..

[hunter_]

2 completely different style of plays & people

jaylen
1. transition player
2.on ball defender/uses his quickness
3. wont' get you to many assist
4. wont get you to many rebounds
5. bad at free throws
6. vocal when he makes an impactful play

tatum
1. Isolation player
2. off ball defender/use his size
3. will get you assist
4. will get you many rebounds
5. good at free throws
6. sorta mellow and calm when he makes an impactful play

[getlikecoop]

Use this comment as an I look like Tim Duncan button

[Leoc]

If JKidd believed what he said he would be doubling and triple teaming Jaylen everytime he touches the ball not Tatum.

[WhyYouMadd]

Why we can’t talk about Fluka defense tho 😂😂😂

[TheRobversion]

I'd think of it this way. Look at the 09-10 celtics. Who's the best player?

Tatum is essentially playing the rondo role.

Jb is the pierce of this team.

Tatum is the better do it all guy.

Brown is the better scorer and on-ball defender.

JT is in his prime draymond green bag now.

All JT has to do now is either shoot better or take less shots.

[beaujohnson]

I don’t think it’s fair to say one is better than the other, they compliment each other so well.

JT may be the better playmaker and rebounder but JB is the better defender and off ball pest.

Best way to look at it is JT is the big loud distraction for JB whom is the silent assassin

[stemulatedstudents]

Tatum needs to learn to work from the mid post. He works too hard to score and settles for step back threes more than he should. But jaylen brown has always been better

[spirenguard]

I'm fine with Tatum being cold from the field, but his selection of turn around fadeaway jumpers with clock left makes me want to toss my TV out the window.
