I'm not even a celtics fan. I'm a lakers fan. But I'm also a basketball fan. Tatum not getting any minutes is just disrespectful.

[dnative]

I thought Tatum was hurt. Not giving him no playing time is disrespectful.

[joeymarquez]

Tatum really is a pro. He’s always got my respect for now he handles stuff. Boston isn’t easy to play for.

[Ez_money]

First the hate on jaylen brown not putting him on the team then not playing tatum??? All nba 1st team just won a ring? Whole league hating on boston sad

[retroballoon]

Derrick White getting more minutes than Tatum is an interesting case to look at

[Likeflats]

Why is spoelstra not the head coach? He's clearly better than kerr 🤔

[KamKam_]

I know JT dropping 50 on the warriors next season 😂😂😂 and gonna be starring down Steve the whole game

[BryanKeith]

Jrue and DW getting more minutes than Tatum is crazy!

Ironically, Jason Tatum is the only US player in 1st team all-NBA

[bunnyshredderrl]

I'm a Laker fan, for starters here.... Tatum is the only player on team USA that was 1st team all NBA last season. Think about it. Only one. He just won a ring based largely on unselfish play. He scores, defends, rebounds, and distributes the ball at an elite level. Literally all at an elite level. How... on earth... do you not find a way to play that guy unless you have some other motive there? He cant take some minutes from Bam? Joel? Ant? Book? Etc?... Really?? What world are we living in here.

[leanthonysain]

I thought JT was injured. That's totally disrespectful

[cirquemedia]

Edit: 'I felt like an idiot' not putting NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown on the team.

[marcusmontague]

Coach K would have found a way to play Tatum. Kerr needs to do better

[frankieclayton]

I commend Jayson Tatum for his way he responded like a great player great leader not complaining that murmuring not griping that is the way you were supposed to carry yourself in that is a true person of character integrity and every way possible

[JustinSmith-ydlv]

He sounds like a complete fool. He could have put Tatum in whenever he wanted.

[PATRICIALINtaiwan]

I stayed up to see JT play, and you benched him the whole game! I was extremely disappointed!

[Theonlysyfon]

Nah Tatum getting no
Minutes is diabolical…

[kennethgarner]

He should feel like an idoit...Jayson Tatum is super nice and coming off of an NBA championship. Why is he not starting.

[RICOVYBEZ]

Extremely Disrespectful, Playing KD and he didn't even practice, and give Tatum Zero Minutes is crazy.

[WinslowWins]

Not playing Haliburton (nba assists leader) & not playing Tatum (1st team all NBA) is craziness Kerr
