    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    I just watched the Bob Ryan podcast. So, most outlets are ridiculing Tatum for not stepping up and being the Man and Bob Ryan is saying the opposite in that Tatum still doesn't get it. He needs to stop trying to be the Man! What is wrong with him? When he finally understands that his role is to...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    BTW, @lovegtm you're doing great work here and I don't mean to detract from it. Please continue.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Yeah, Ime was standard current basketball and maybe he will evolve (I didn't watch the Rockets this year so IDK). It was his first gig, after all. But, it's telling how many fans want the Ime experience. Yell at them! Challenge them! Sometimes, that is warranted but that's not really what fans...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Yeah. Whenever I make the mistake of listening to basketball pods, it usually plays out this way.

    Round 3: Celtics vs TBA

    I think @radsoxfan said he's dubious that he's close to a return unless it was vey mild. It's more likely than not that he's coming back in the latter half of the ECF or not at all.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    I had to step out almost immediately that fall. I assume he kept playing with adrenaline and all? Was anything said after the game that would indicate it could be a thing in game 7? I think we all have hit our tailbones and some point and my goodness it is painful even when it's just a contusion.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Agree and this is well put. As for the video above by Timpf, he is growing on me or at least he is getting better at recognizing the whole game and how everything within context complements each other and why you cannot judge every player or play on some simple standard. I wish he would have...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    You want to know a reason why Denver plays so well in supposed crunch time minutes? They play that way almost always. It's not to say they don't ever fast break. They do of course bc the Joker is Bill Walton-ish with his outlets when he wants them to go. But they generally play a quarter-court...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    I'm glad you added the last sentence because what you're alluding to here is in general what the modern offensive game has realized (though other teams in the past also played this way). But, Denver, of course, as you say, defies what we typically see now in the NBA. Advantages can be easily...

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    This will be the Nuggets first game 7 since the Bubble (in front of no fans). Incredible. The experience they gained winning the title gives them a sizable advantage over all remaining teams. But, backs against the wall experience? I think we know which team left has the edge there.

    That is good.

    (2) Denver Nuggets vs (3) Minnesota Timberwolves - 2024 WC Second Round

    Exactly and Perk's reaction to the game was to laud Ant and Minny and not say much about Den.

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Ryen and Bill on Sunday night told me that Tatum has never been nor will ever be a top five player and it’s not really close. Ant is way ahead of him they said. These are two of the more knowledgeable national media guys. Sigh edit: dang it Jose got it

    Knicks/Pacers - Who Ya Want?

    I feel like all Knicks fans among us are all hey bro you should want the Knicks bc they’re so broken and so bar is low and when we two games we gonna rain upon you. And, three wins mean we actually won.

    Knicks/Pacers - Who Ya Want?

    Even though the Celtics eventually prevailed, I'm still not over OG's game winning three with .5 left on the clock in game 3 of Round 2 in the Bubble to prevent the Raptors from going down 0-3. That one shot probably cost them a better shot of beating the Heat in the ECF. Tatum admitted as much...

    Round 2: Celtics vs Cavs

    Immediately after the game 2 loss, several local media, national media, and a few posters said that they wish the Celtics showed out like the Wolves, Thunder, and Knicks. Since those comments, those three teams cited are a combined 2-8. The playoffs are hard and whatever your series may look...

    Knicks/Pacers - Who Ya Want?

    Love this math. C was underrated by me. It would be sweeter to beat them and the attention around that series would be fun and intense and probably a good warm-up for the Finals assuming the Cs get there.
