Series Thread: 1) Miami Heat vs. 2) Boston Celtics

[Picklerick 2.0]

Obviously he didn't 'deserve' to be an allstar starter. But he did have a borderline allstar year and he's playing like one in the playoffs and really, that's what matters.

This is also true.

There is a lot of reasons why you guys just aren't seeing it with Tatum.

1) he doesn't have muscles and he's not flashy

2) he wasn't a #1 pick with crazy hype like LeBron

3) you saw a lot of his pre prime growing pains in the 2010s (it was like watching 90s kobe). But even pre prime Tatum took LeBron to 7 in 2018 dunked on his ass and chest bumped him.

4) he doesnt have scoring titles like Durant I guess?

So his game can easily be overlooked by the casual eye. The facts are he is just coming into his peak this season and has been the best player in the world reg season and playoffs since January.

This isn’t a case of Tatum being overlooked by anybody.

You are literally the only person even mentioning Tatum in the conversation for best player in the world.

He isn’t being overlooked. He is being overhyped by you.

Yeah, best player in the world is definitely a reach considering you got guys like Durant and Gianni's ahead of him...

It's got a 'character' vibe about him

everybody needs help to get to the finals. Were any of his teammates on the all nba team this season? even 3rd team?

i've told you my eye test and backed it up with stats. Do you have any questions i haven't answered? I don't know what to tell you. We can agree to disagree, doesn't mean it's trolling.

I will admit I have a long history at realgm and insidehoops reddit

But I've never posted on this site on any other account. I was already posting on three other forums, I didn't have that time lol

I was saying the same thing about kawhi and I ended up being right.

I have been watching bball for 20 years. I'm also very good at playing it, like college level good. I'm 6"3 with a 6"7 wingspan. Anyways back to Tatum.

In the reg season celtics have been posting a 120+ offensive rating since about mid January

And Tatum is giving All time great defense on top of that

He has extremely high IQ. He's not as gifted as kawhi but I think his IQ is higher.

Tatum has turned into the pat Mahomes of the NBA. Just needed udoka to unlock him.

Getting Derrick white mid season was also extremely underrated move, he could very well out play poole this series
