Not only did the Celtics acquire a whole roster of star players, they all are excellent 3 point shooters and defenders. Years of building towards a clear vision have finally yielded the desired outcome that speaks for itself. No drama, no ego clashes, just a group of guys that do their job and work together as a unit.
When boston wins again this season and jokic wins mvp again, i think that'll be enough to make the voters question how VALUABLE defense is. Tatum will never win an mvp on points, rebs and asts (which is what the mvp race has devolved to: a triple double contest or best offensive player). Tatum's main edge/how he contributes to winning over the other MVP candidates is defense. Much like prime kawhi. His defense and utility contributions (screen assists, potential assists, etc) are very underrated. i will call it though, this season, even if the celtics win 65-70+ games and win the chip, tatum isnt going to win MVP. the voters have to be jarred 1st before they appreciate what tatum brings to the team/court/winning.
I’m a Celtics fan, but you have this wrong. Jokic is far and away the best player in the world. Offensively, no one is even in the same ballpark, and he’s a much, much better defensive player than most seem to think. He’s far from a bad defender. The advance metrics actually show him as an elite defender, in a team context. Jokic should have had every MVP since 2021, honestly. The other reason Tatum is unlikely to win MVP is a little less fair: Boston has so much talent that he won’t get as much credit for their success as top players on other, less talented top teams.
@josephrafferty6763 jokic is indeed the best player in the world. The post is about winning in the context of MVP. People will look at stats 1st, primarily scoring and the triple double stats when it comes to winning MVP. those will be weighted higher. Winning isnt prioritized nor is defense. So the post is about saying tatum will never win MVP unless they start valuing defense or winning higher as these are the primary 2 things tatum brings to the table. I also thought it would be very funny if tatum and the celtics win 65-70+, go on a 3-peat and he doesnt have a single mvp to his name. Tatum could actually retire with 5 chips and never have won a single MVP simply because he lived in the time of jokic while jokic would be stuck with 1 chip and 5 MVPs. And thats a sad thought in terms of what people value in sports. Personally, i dislike the current setup of mvp. It shouldnt be best player or best offensive player. I'd prefer if it was best 2-way player (defense is weighted the same as offense) or going back to pre-2010s where it was closer to best player on best team (winning is weighted heavier) as it was very rare for a non-top 3 team player to win MVP. but the 2010s, specifically westbrook/harden broke that mold. Best player IMO doesnt equate to most valuable for me as valuable=winning. Tatum win a chip by putting up worse numbers. The concept of knowing how to take a stepback and sacrifice gets lost in all the best player discussion. This was what tatum realized if you're really a celtic fan. Luka, i can envision him winning when he doesnt have an MVP caliber type of season where he steps back, does less and empowers his teammates to do more. So i disagree that i have it wrong. You and i simply value different things or see things differently.
Ive got this feeling he'll make another leap to 30 10 6 eventually because rn imo he's the second best player in the NBA only behind Jokic. Jokic doesn't count tho i mean it's friggin jokic
@@KLexEntertainmentidk.. jokic lack of defense kind of gives Tatum more of an argument. He’s 7 ft and never gets blocks lol. Everything runs off him, Tatum can hit the bench for a while quarter and they’ll be ok. You can see a major difference I’m ngl. I think it’s a negative plus minus when he’s on the bench but not much. I’ve never seen such a versatile player. Clamping centers, clamping guards, 3 pt machine, post up, mid range, elite passing. Lebron too but his shooting was never on Jt level.
@@cvgodd1432 don’t get me wrong I 100% agree JTs my favorite player so I think absolutely think he has a claim as the best player in the nba I just want to see him do this over a little longer span of time before I make that claim and a chip wouldn’t hurt that case. It’s just Jokic is a fucking monster offensively I don’t think he has to be at level considering he’s a top 5 defender at his position but I just want him to be at this level for the 2nd half of the season as well
And the year before that, instead of Jaylen Brown, we could have gotten Dragan Bender or Chris Dunn. So instead of Tatum and Brown, we could have had a team anchored by Chris Dunn and Fultz, haha. Probably would have not 1 but 3 or 4 championships by now!!! Ok, kidding. More likely the team would have been disbanded, haha.
It’s cool having the coach also be a guy who grew up loving all things Celtics. Mazzulla’s guys play for him and they respect the hell out of him, I’m curious if his love for the franchise gives players more perspective as to how much the team and themselves as players mean to the city… if you’re from Boston or the area then you know what I mean. It really is different here.
I agree with this video 100 percent ☘️ if the Cs won 6 straight titles from 2024-2029 I wouldn’t be shocked. By the end of that run Tatum and Brown would still only be 31 and 32 years old. 😂
Nice work. It’s scary. Celtics got better 😂. Everyone improved for the most part. Especially Tatum and PP. I always said if he fixes those shooting droughts he would be the best in the league. That’s the only thing that killed his game. He just had too much to his shot. Too many things had to go right for him to make the shots. Now it’s more of a simple flick shot.
Tatum has gotten slightly better. (Obviously he was already elite, so he couldn't get a LOT better unless he started scoring 50 PPG. Pritchard has improved by a lot. He used to be basically a good player on their bench. But now he is playing very meaningful minutes and contributing big. It does look like Horford and Jrue Holiday have taken a small step back. Hopefully they just had a slow start and will get back to their old selves. Bue, Father Time is lurking nearby and they are the team's oldest players. Queata has also played very well in KP''s absence. Overall I would say the team is fractionally better. But, we can't ask for more than that since they killed it last year. They are killing it this year too. IMHO, if their health holds up so they have most of their big parts come playoff time, they will cruise to another title.
This team will win 5 in a row. They gonna win till the next president. All 4 years of Trump. They got Dallas in 24 then I’ll say 2025 OKC. To young. 2026 GS gets back with curry & Giannis but curry to old. Can’t keep up. Giannis still can’t shoot. 2027-Houston 2028 Spurs & Wemby They finish 5-1 in the finals 2nd best duo ever.
Idc about 73-9. GS did beat Boston but with Marcus smart NOT Jru & Porzingus. If the Celtics have all 8 guys healthy. Jru. DW. JB. JT. KP. Prich. AL Houser Then they beat MJs Bulls GS with KD LA with shaq Miami LbJ & Wade too. JB takes Jordan Tatum takes Pip JB takes Klay Tatum takes KD Jru on curry KP & Horford for shaq KP & Horford would have shaq at the 3 opening up the lane. JB & Tatum switch on Kobe Jru on fisher Dwhite goes off on the bulls & lakers. GD would be the toughest. Prob go 7 4-3 Boston.
With Zap back some games will get boringly dominant. This is a ppwer ranger captain planet level team. By their powers combined they are the green nightmare.
ONCE AGAIN THE FIVE OUT OFFENCE IS CALLED THE ROLLING ARSENAL OF THE BLACK BEAUTY AND THE SWITCH EVERYTHING DEFENSE IS CALLED SPREADING THE GREEN SLIME
I think kinda like the yankee and dodgers, chiefs(hopefully the pats again one day), theain characters in the nba are the celtics and lakers, but i think the Celtics have the upper hand right now cause lakers are shooters, but celtics can be shooters and play bully ball, good luck.
Nobody wanted Porzingis and the bucks wanted dame so bad that they gave up on a guy who has been traded a few times in his career. the cp3 is not the same. this is more like the Wallace trade in 04 when people realized it made the Pistons into a powerhouse. you would know that if you actually know basketball and not be a hater crying. go back to playing video games junior. no one wanted these players and when the Celtics got them now everyone is crying about it.
Sunday vs. the Cavs will be interesting. Cs down potentially 4 guys... Think KP is already probable 😂 They don't want Jarret Allen to beat his fragile ass up in the paint. Horford stubbed his big toe so he should be out for a week 😂😂😂
Nobody is beating the Celtics 4 times in a 7 games series 🏆x🏆
AND THATS A FACT!
NO ONE PERIOD.
Back to back champs coming up

By far the deepest team in the league. If everyone is healthy and even if one isn't. They still have the best odds.. That's how tough their depth is.
The Warriors may be deeper (especially before the Melton injury), but they don’t have as much top end talent.
16-3 start..16-3 in last years playoff run

Payton Pritchard is top 5 for most 3's and he isn't even a starter, that shows how good the team is.
28 8 and 5 is big. Especially at Tatum's position

PP is the new "Truth"
It’s hard to beat the Celtics what is vital is their chemistry it’s hard to build chemistry ,no team seems to have it like the Celtics does 👌👌👌
People talk about Cleveland bench , celtics have so many peices and so many young guys ,crazy
Not that I want Horford off the team but if he were, at 39 he brings the avg age of team way up and Holiday is 34. The core is so freaking young.
@Willthethrill478 no doubt, look at the talent on maine as well imagine they went to finals as well crazy
Brotha this was well put and well said....i subbed
Pritch having 70+ Made 3s OFF THE BENCH makes it even more insane!
Sick vid bro
Crazy to see how this team has been constructed since 08. Great things take time but we’re here now 🥳

2025 OKC. To young.
2026 GS gets back with curry & Giannis but curry to old. Can’t keep up. Giannis still can’t shoot.
2027-Houston
2028 Spurs & Wemby
They finish 5-1 in the finals
2nd best duo ever.
Idk about 5 in a row that’d be ridiculous like idk the last time a teams even gone back to back to back
Maybe la
the most dominant Tatum is the 2022-2023 Tatum. I wish he had it back.
Scoring wise yeah but the playmaking and control of the game on a different level
I mean his points per game this year is pretty close to his PPG in 2022-2023
"0"🍀MVP
And honestly the defense looks awful when you watch them play which means they can actually even improve
8th in defense with no KP. Let's see how they do over the next few weeks.
Pritchard is Mighty Mouse
Don't give Karma a reason to enter the chat.
Idc about 73-9. GS did beat Boston but with Marcus smart NOT Jru & Porzingus.
If the Celtics have all 8 guys healthy.
Jru. DW. JB. JT. KP. Prich. AL Houser
Then they beat
MJs Bulls
GS with KD
LA with shaq
Miami LbJ & Wade too.
JB takes Jordan
Tatum takes Pip
JB takes Klay
Tatum takes KD
Jru on curry
KP & Horford for shaq
KP & Horford would have shaq at the 3 opening up the lane.
JB & Tatum switch on Kobe
Jru on fisher
Dwhite goes off on the bulls & lakers.
GD would be the toughest.
Prob go 7 4-3 Boston.

They don not like the Tatum or Jaylen! Just look at how they were treated regarding the Olympic team😎TRUTH HAS NO AGENDA.

Boston learned from the Warriors!! Boston will NOT repeat!! Nba loves to break you up to break you down!!
I'll revisit from time to time to see how this statement turned out
Ok
nice
I think kinda like the yankee and dodgers, chiefs(hopefully the pats again one day), theain characters in the nba are the celtics and lakers, but i think the Celtics have the upper hand right now cause lakers are shooters, but celtics can be shooters and play bully ball, good luck.
I absolutely hate the Celtics 😂coming from a spurs fan
This dudes glazing hard af. And I’m a Celtics fan!
He’s just being honest. Not glazing. The team is already glazed.
🥱 prime Kobe getting cp3 traded 2 the lakers gets vitoed 🍇 so either porzingiz or jrue should have been vetoed
