A cookie for the Tatum group:


Jayson did something last night that Larry Bird never did -

30 and 10 with 3 blocks in a playoff game (of course getting the blocked shots stat in there will almost always leave LB out)

QUIZ:   What 3 other Celts have done this?

I bet Russell did it a few times but they didn't keep blocked shot stats until the mid 70s

Cowens might have done it in those early 70s teams, but i'm not sure if the blocked stat is there

I bet McHale did it and probably Parrish

if I had to guess between KG and Pierce I'd go with KG

all HoFers and all rafter guys

Tatum will join them

and maybe he'll comp Ball and Fultz when they retire his #

I'll give you tenacious kid-you don't give up a losing argument easily or ever.

heh
The beauty of Kid's posts is that he trashes Tatum and then in a later post, buried, he states "Tatum is a terrific player."  Just a classic CYA.

It wasn't until 73-74 that Blocks and Steals were tallied.

So yeah, KG is a good guess.
I wouldn't think Pierce would get there, but maybe.

He's just trolling now.

Kid can't admit he was wrong when he trashed Tatum in his rookie year, and felt compelled to compound his poor judgement by continually trashing Tatum visa a vis Ball and Fultz.

And kid is nothing but poor judgement just waiting to happen.

Unnecessary Musings Dept.

Would people be willing to trade RJB for Lonzo Ball?

Incorrect.

I have always liked Tatum.  Was the first to tout him here.

Markelle!!!

I tuned in, ORL up by 12 and Fultz shot an airball 3.  Then got called for traveling a few plays later.   I looked at the box and he was 4-4 FG before I started watching.
He still looks jittery at times.

Did pop in a straightaway 3 a bit later, but his form wasn't pretty.

I have always liked Tatum.  Was the first to your him here.

Kid why you need to bullshit this forum repeatedly about your Tatum hot take is your business, but no one believes you. People remember the discussions.

If you always liked him as you now insist why did you trash the all-star in the making his entire rookie year?

And you were called on it then, repeatedly and mocked.

He got out of the gate quick made a hugely favorable impression to most observers,(1st team all-rookie) with the exception of one lonely dolt wandering the shores of Elba crying.

And why did you insist the trade giving up the rights to Markelle for Tatum and a lottery pick was a bad trade?

there is no one in the world that knows anything of these players who would insist that was a bad trade.

Most thought it a very good trade at the time, and today a fucking great trade.

Except one lonely cry coming from you.

Kid the entire knick forum knows and accepts you're full of shit and incapable emotionally of owning a simple mistake.

man-up kid.

its well past time.

I think it safe to say for the 3 years in the league Tatum has been a great pick, while Ball and Fultz have underperformed expectations.

But you of course can have whatever hot take you like.

Just wipe yourself after you're done.

and wash up.

heh

Great W for ORL.

Fultz has an ugly 3 shot.  And sometimes looks likes he gonna lose the ball on routine plays, but he came through enough.  I still think TRoss is a mistake player, but he brought some energy and helped.  Vuc was dominant in the 1st half.
I barely remember Gary Clark (who jacked a dozen 3's).
Fournier came alive just in time, was moribund most of the night.

Giannis didn't get inside much.
Lopez and Middleguy weren't effective.

Agreed. You have to think a generational talent would make the playoffs one day.

I wouldn't bet against Tatum ending up in Springfield. and i'm hardly the only one who sees a lot of upside for the 22 YO already and all-star, 2-way stud.

You just missed it kid.

Just checked basketballref and Russell had at least 4 30 point 30 rebound play-off games, (2 on back to back games against Philly-Wilt-he also had monster games); Good bet that a guy who lived and defended in the paint better than any player ever, and who anecdotally averaged 6-8 blocks per game, he might have started the Celts 30-10-3 club.

KG did it 4-times with the T'wolves, but not the Celts, should have guessed Pierce
