Tatum is better than Bron and KD for an 82 game season but most coaches/GMs are taking Bron and KD over Tatum for a playoff series. The Olympics just proved that. Kerr glued Tatum's ass to the bench when it was winning time.

Tatum in the playoffs: 25/10/6 on 43 FG%, 28 3PT%, 55 TS%
Bron in the playoffs: 28/7/9 on 57 FG%, 39 3PT%, 63 TS%
KD in the playoffs: 27/7/3 on 55 FG%, 42 3PT%, 65 TS%

KD is 6-14 in his last 20 playoff games, but who cares look at that true shooting percentage :troll:

Those Nuggets odds at this point gotta be undervalued. If they closed out the second half vs the wolves, they might have gotten the chip. Probably 50% chance at that point. Coin flip.

I don't know if they will win but that has to be a smart bet right now

They choked away the series in epic fashion then got worse on paper in the offseason losing KCP for nothing :manny:

They still probably match up with the Celtics best out of any team in the West simply bc we have nothing for Jokic but right now OKC is the trendy pick

2024 KD and Bron are Kevin Love on the Timberwolves, Russell Westbrook stat padding era in OKC. Hollow stats that have little to do with winning and take your team NOWHERE.

This version of LeBron stat pads with mediocre defense for play in teams, gets coaches fired. People confuse winning basketball with stat padding basketball.
Tatum >> Bron

.....but the fact we are comparing an almost 40 year old to a 26 year old is wild. Bron is capable of playing winning basketball but he doesn't care at this point. His legacy wouldn't change with another ring. He'd need 3 to pass MJ before his detractors would back off (maybe).

Shhhhh Breh, the coli dont wanna see that. KD Got swept TWICE with Kyrie, Booker, Beal and them as sidekicks. Won 1 playoff series vs a Team that had Kemba Walker on one leg, Romeo Langford, Jayson Tatum, Tristan Thompson and Evan Fournier as the starting 5. He had Kyrie and James Harden.

When was the Last time KD or LeBron led a team to winning anything other than a In Season tournament on a non Bubble season? I'll wait.

By the Way KD Played with Kyrie, Harden, Booker, Bradley Beal, Curry, Klay, Draymond the past 6 seasons. Nothing to show for.

and LeBron has played with the avengers since he won a real title in 2016.
When has Tatum ever led his team to win anything ever? Brown (and depending on the round both Holiday and White) outperformed him in every series :mjlol: Shooting 38% from the field in the finals isn't leading shyt.

Both are in their late 30s performing better in the playoffs than prime Tatum. I shudder to think what a Tatum led offense would look like in 12 years.

Tatum the first player in NBA history to lead a team in points, rebounds and assists while guarding 1-5 for an entire championship run and have nikkas claim he got carried :dead:

In last years playoffs:

KD lost to his matchup which was Jayden McDaniels, which was the main reason why the Suns lost to the Wolves

Lebron lost to his matchup which was Aaron Gordon, which was the main reason why the Lakers lost to the Nuggets


But somehow a 10 game tournament in the summer means that they are better than Tatum

The Celtics were up 2-0 after the first tweet and 3-1 after the second. They ended up finishing 7-0 in games he shot under 40% :heh:

But nah, totally normal star player performance in the playoffs.. Up there with 2023 Jokic. That's why Tatum won both the ECF and Finals MVPs, right?

Well they went 16-3 the entire playoff run so it’d be pretty hard to cherry pick a stat for any player where they’d have a losing record, that’s kinda the point of having a great team rather than going star-chasing

And I couldn’t care less about him having a bad +/- in one game that was a complete blowout from start to finish.

I don’t think I or anyone else is claiming Tatum had some type of special all time playoff run. But y’all are minimizing the hell out of what he did do. A person who led the team in points, rebounds and assists while being their most versatile defender cannot also be someone who was just along for the ride. It’s just not a logical conclusion to. He did not carry the team, but also neither did Jaylen…
