[More-Than-Most]

I didn't say they were lol just don't call 15.7, 25 lol bc its not. You already have several other stats to lean on, no need to diminish Tatum's scoring.

there is plenty of reasons to diminish scoring when your scoring is hurting the team because of your usg...Boston would be a better team if they had ben simmons over tatum because defense and passing. Tatum just cranks up shots and scores some points... 25 ppg on 19 shots... slow clap boys

All that talk about ben simmons not getting better even though every year he has been better than tatum by quite a bit and his become the best defender in the NBA in that span on top of now hitting his fts... so i am now curious where is the tatum talk? dude upped his ppg by taking way more shots and his usg going through the roof but where is the improvement exactly?

Neither have been impressive tbh. Tatum is a better offensive player, Simmons is a better defensive player.

Both are greatly overrated.

I'm not gonna do Ewing's work for him, bc ik he's incapable of talking ball but c'mon 25 ppg versus 15 ppg isn't "a few". If it is, I think there must be a different definition out there of "a few" lol

I was gonna give MTM the benefit of the doubt and assume he was talking about Tatums prior years [emoji2357]

Has anyone lost more assets then Boston w/o getting a return? Hayward, Terry, Kyrie. If this is who Kemba is now I think Marcus Smart is there 3rd best player and he's out for a couple more weeks

I can't completely blame Ainge for losing all those players and it's hard to replace that type of talent.

Terry Rozier and Kyrie Irving both wanted out. Kyrie wanted to play in Brooklyn, and Rozier wanted to be a starter. So there was nothing that Danny Ainge could do.

With Hayward, he either injured or inconsistent during his tenure with the Celtics.

You think 25 points on 21 shots is something good at a 43/37/87 line?

Plus they didn't really lose em for nothing.

They basically got Kemba for Rozier. They got a historically large TPE for Hayward, who they acquire with it is still to be determined. They coulda did a S&T for Horford.

A lot of teams faced with losing player find a way to add other talent in exchange. The problem is that it's expensive in tax payments to do it. As an example the Warriors got Wiggins and possibly a #4 pick in exchange for KD, but the negative is their tax bill is HUGE and they had to take what could have been an impossible to move contract in Wiggins.

Fade away jumper from the block by Embiid incoming.

This Doncic vs. Harden shootout is pretty fun to watch. There's no defense anywhere in sight, but it's entertaining nonetheless.

I stopped liking the jersey changes after 2006 lol.....
