JEEZ LOUISE, TATUM IS HITTING SOME TOUGH FREAKIN' SHOTS ON BROWN LIKE IT'S NOTHING!
Man, Tatum looks beeeefy. A strong upper bodied Tatum is a problem!
[Rooks] One of the more entertaining parts of the day. Jaylen Brown vs Jayson Tatum 1-on-1. Lots of trash talking lol. I asked Jayson who ended up winning. “We played 7 games. Jaylen won 4-3”
Loving the chemistry between the two.
Help me - watching these 2 I am dreaming that both continued exponential growth over the last 4 months and are ready to tear the league apart. I am dreaming right?
Fire & Ice baby.

I hope it's not a dream. Boston would then have what it's never had—though should've had with Bias and Lewis—two bonafide superstars not yet in their prime, but not far from it. That would be the best thing Boston's had since Bird-McHale-Parish (I would say Pierce-KG-Allen, but KG's knee ruined that potential dynasty).
We just need to find our KG. But I feel like we have our Pierce/Allen pieces.
Easier said that done though, 08 KG (not even peak KG lol) would likely be one of the best players in the league today if not the best.
Yeah, it was more of a joke if anything lol. Finding anything similar to KG or Duncan in today's era is probably almost next to impossible.
I do see a lot of parallels of Draymond in Tillman, but I did make a lot of terrible draft selections that thankfully Ainge is 19708419466713181236 steps ahead of me.
Davis and Giannis are probably the closest things to KG and Duncan in the modern league but yeah they are more like general prime year KG/Duncan than peak KG/Duncan.
Put Smart’s brain in Timelord’s body and we’re getting somewhere!
I forgot we're still waiting on Timelord to develop an NBA game.
Meanwhile NBA Rookie Bol Bol who the Celtics passed on multiple times just put up 16 pts, 10 rebounds, and 6 blocks for the Nuggets in their first scrimmage...
sigh...
In a scrimmage game...
Like one that doesn't even matter. The Nuggets also trotted out a lineup that literally didn't even feature a guard at all.
Like, don't get me wrong. I like Bol Bol, and he certainly looks way better than his father at his age, and looks more agile. But let's get one thing clear.
1) His thin and lanky frame will not allow him to bang with centers down low. He's going to get the same treatment as Thon Maker did.
2) His shooting looks promising, but he has a very weird shooting form. The great thing is he's very tall so almost impossible to block. That being said, Giannis would have a field day on him.
3) Once again, I'll reiterate I like Bol Bol, I cannot believe he fell that far. I personally thought Ainge would've scooped him up considering the dearth of big men depth we have, plus it would've been nice to have another decent shot blocking big with a shot.
4) But this leads me to my other point, Bol Bol is still way too far away to obtain ANY meaningful minutes. Let's not get ahead of ourselves and act like the Nuggets struck gold just because they took a chance on MPJ, (who I also liked as my binkie,) and Bol Bol. Only time will tell.
5) As much as we would like to say the Nuggets draft well, (they certainly do,) they also take a lot of risks.
Where were you when Williams dropped 11/7/6 Statline against the Spurs?
