Boston Celtics (34-12) at Toronto Raptors (20-26) Game #47 1/21/23

Jaylen looks like he's in his head. Trying to be the man without Tatum, not focusing on ball movement. Zero assists, two turnovers.

There's like no offense outside of JB lol

Yeah, it's amazing that with Tatum we're the best offense in the history of the game per the stats, yet without him we look average offensively at best. We should still be a good to great defense without him, but the offense is a different story.

Really highlights his MVP case and disintegrates all the arguments against him that he's only good because of his team. That argument is just not borne out whatsoever in the stats.

Tatum can facilitate but also, because he can score so smoothly in so many different ways he can still put up numbers too. With JB sometimes it feels forced, and while Jaylen is capable of creating his own shot, I think it does make him a lot better when others are facilitating for him to take shots or get to the basket

Hell of a run to close the quarter.  That could have been much worse.

[liam]

They really picked it up to close out the quarter!

[jpotter33]

Great finish to the quarter. Going to have to find some offense in the little bit that JB will rest.

[Atzar]

The awareness on Rob, man.  There are only a few bigs in the league who can make that pass to Grant with the clock running down like that. 

[jpotter33]

Excellent passing on that possession.

[jpotter33]

Is White ever going to find his shot again?

[gouki88]

Didn't expect Grant to be on track for 30 off the bench

[SCeltic34]

Great work by GWill.  He's added that wrinkle to his game this offseason.

[liam]

Good game to give the bench minutes.

[Phantom255x]

Awesome stretch from the end of the 1st to the start of the 2nd!

[Yuckabuck33]

So the key to good offense is to sit Brown and Tatum???
