Yeah. Play a bit in this series like 15-20 min a game and then get into a rhythm in practices before next round

Stats wise he could easily make the second team several times though.Lol @ this backhanded compliment.
Prime Paul Pierce was a better player than Tatum/period.
Dont let this inflated stat era and team success fool you. Tatum came into the league playing on stacked teams, a luxury Pierce didnt have until he was 30 years old.
“But but Tatum is making 1st team all nba every season, and Pierce has never made any 1st teams”
Like Tatum would sniff 1st team in the 2000s
And I don’t even like Tatums game
Beating out Nowitzki, KG or Lebron is far fetched.
But this is a relative sport, relative to your peers. It’s not like people on average have ever been better at shooting, faster or stronger than today. At the same time defense focus has probably not been worse than today since the 70/80s.

I hate the Celtics and their fans with a passion. But the shyt Tatum gets on here is mind boggling34,12,6 and 2 Steals, 11 points in overtime
Yeah you saw Siakam pull back once Brown got wide open, no sense making it a 4 point play. Just had to hope he missed.
Pacers definitely had a shot there, but completely melted down the last minute of the 4th quarter. Ugly basketball.

They would be playing 4v5 on offense with Brissett or Tillman. They need to mix in zone defense more in the 4th to mix it up or just not switch all the time.
Pacers choked that game away. Which is funny considering they were just making fun of the Knicks for that.

They were going 4v5 with Hauser in the game
. Modern NBA coaches lose all logic for a "floor spacer" that is useless when they aren't hitting shotsBrissett and Tillman are 100x more useful
I was so disgusted with that foolishness the Pacers pulled off last night i didnt even listen to NBA radio this morning. And thats not even my team. I cant imagine how pissed off Pacers fans must be.

Hauser is not in the game in the 4th.
You gotta play Al if Porzingis is not playing. He can hit the 3 ball and is a threat down low if he gets a smaller guy on him. Brissett and Tillman are just not good enough on offense.
I thought Maz was pretty good last night. He called timeouts in the 4th when the C's looked unserious (which happens more than it should) and designed a great out of bounds play that freed Brown.
Define cakewalk
Yeah the Pacers probably wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for injuries to the opposition but y’all act like they’re not a good team at all. They won 47 games and had the highest scoring offense in the league. They were never going to get swept in 4 blowouts

He’s not averaging the same stats playing in the 2000s tho. He takes nearly 10 3pt attempts per game to average only 26. He’s not doing that in the 00s. 2000s were a slower pace, less 3s, much better talent at the forward positions. Making 2nd team is not the same as making 1st. He’s on his way to making his 3rd straight 1st team because his comp is weak.

The Celtics losing once but their victories being by double digits.
And I’m not acting like anything don’t put words in my mouth. This isn’t about how good the Pacers are. This is about how historically good the Celtics are.
There are only 4 teams with a higher SRS in the regular season than the Celtics this year. The 71 Bucks, 96 Bulls, 72 Lakers, and 17 Warriors. So yeah I expect the Celtics to dominate them. That’s why I said I think they win it all this year

Breh Paul Pierce was shooting 40% from the field and under 30% from 3 on 21 shots in his 25-26 age seasons
that ain’t efficient. Hate to break it to ya, I loved Paul Pierce but he was never a top 10 player at any point in his career. Tatum Chasing Russell, Larry Bird and Havlicek at this point
Tatum a Better scorer, better 2 point shooter, 3 point shooter, free throw shooter, Better rebounder, Better passer, better defender and a few of those have nothing to with “inflated stats”.
Tatum came in the League and Took LeBron to 7 games after beating Giannis and Embiid with
Terry Rozier-Not An All Star
Jaylen Brown-Year 2
Marcus Morris Not an All Star
Al Horford Not an All Star
Is that a “Stacked team”? Paul Pierce was missing the playoffs with a team like that.

His FG % was relative to his era. Iverson won mvp shooting 40% from the floor.
Top 10 player is subjective. There were way better players in the 00s than in the 20s. He’d definitely be a top 10 player playing today. The 80s and the 00s probably had the best collection of individual talent/all time great players. Being right outside the top 10 if you played in those eras is not a knock.
Tatum wasnt a better scorer, he wasnt a better midrange shooter, and he wasnt a better 3 point shooter. Lol @ better passer.
You are a box score watcher. You dont actual watch games because your comments are stupid.
