    He's pretty close though, isn't he? Luka just put up 34/9/10 on .618 TS% with less than stellar defense which rivals Harden's best years, IMO. Luka has only finished top 4 in MVP 2 out of his 5 years. This year 3rd place and 4th in 2020. I'm not sure who should have finished above him this...

    James Harden is an incredible basketball player. Like top 40 of all time. Not sure being almost as good as prime Harden is an insult

    (2) New York Knicks vs (6) Indiana Pacers - 2024 EC Second Round

    Problem is they can only offer Hartenstein like 16 million a year. Similar situation to Nuggets and Bruce Brown last year

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    The Heat were terrible and missing their most important player. The Cavs aren't as bad, but they are extremely shallow and also missing one of their most important players. Yes, Boston is missing Porzingis, but even so the talent disparity is drastic between MIA, CLE, and BOS

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    It is resulting in blowout wins because the opponents are pretty terrible. If Tatum plays the same way in the finals against a MIN or OKC or some real team, his play may be more of a problem (if it continues which I expect it won't because he is too good to continue to shoot this poorly).

    That says a lot though. He has been terrible on both sides of the ball. Not terrible to have him as your 8th man I guess

    lol Interesting to think about. Not even sure who the 8th guy would be Top 7 is what? Brunson, Haliburton, Hart, Donte, Siakam, Hartenstein, Turner. 8th guy would be??? Toppin

    Siakam 14-32 from the free throw line in these playoffs. Oof May start seeing hack-a-Siakam

    He missed the playoffs his rookie year and then last year when they intentionally tanked. He has had some pretty trash teams

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I have done no such thing. I have only posited the question here and offered an opinion that it is pretty damn close and not an automatic that Tatum is better

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I am not adverse to that conversation. Jayson Tatum is an incredible basketball player. I fully acknowledge that and agree that he does many things that don't show up in the boxscore. I just find some the love a bit over the top when it resorts to pointing out how amazing it is that he cut to...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Good god. He cut to the basket. Something that just about every damn player in the league would do in that situation. Al was the one who made the good play in this clip more so than Tatum

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    In that clip it is completely accurate.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I mean that could have been anyone in that video though. That is just bad transition defense. Pritchard could have been cutting through the lane on that play and the defense would react the same.

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Maybe. They did shoot only 29% in the Orlando series.
