[slamtheking]

Grant played 45 mins. Had a good game with 19pts/10rebs/4ast.

A valuable member of the Celtics rotation

making his case for a bigger contract than Brad wanted to give him

I got Tatum with 44 points tonight

WOO! Nearly got it lol, Tatum finished with 43 

[Goldstar88]

I think Tatum is the best two way player in the NBA right now.

He’s definitely showing that he deserves that payday!

If you ignore the shooting %s then you're right.

Also Tatum has put up 377 pts to Giannis' 286

I still think Tatum is better. His offensive skillset is on a completely different level. Giannis is just a freight train, Jayson can kill you 100 different ways.

Yeah, it is a good argument. Like Kawhi vs Giannis a few years ago. Tatum is the new Kawhi.

Results matter more than variety, right?

Westbrook put up better numbers for a few years than any other player in the NBA. He won an MVP. I still didn’t think he was the best player in the league. Giannis can’t shoot. I think that matters a lot.

Noah with a solid 20min off the bench.  7 reb, 2 assists and 0 TOs

Interesting Big rotation in this game with no Horford on top of no RWill (and of course no Gallinari).  Most teams would be decimated if they lost their arguably top 3 bigs.  Our rotation was Grant, Griffin, Vonleh, and Kornet.  Wow.

What was strange to me was why did Kornet only get 8 min and Griffin was given 22 min?  Griffin had been a DNP-CD the last several games and Kornet was playing more.  Why the sudden switch?  I expected Grant and Vonleh to play more than usual but I was not expecting Kornet to play less than normal.

Shaq couldn’t shoot either. 

Giannis and Tatum score about the same amount.  Giannis gets more assists and offensive rebounds, too.  But more importantly, Giannis’s defense is still better.
