Just watched undisputed. Keyshawn and Skip roasting Pierce for still defending Tatum and the Celtics. Love Pierce for being solid and loyal. A true Celtic. He did said, that superstars need to show up if your team is struggling. So sick of analysts taking a dig at Tatum. Man, he needs to show up to shut this **** up.
Now is the time JT.

Maybe it's Tatum's way of doing a Lebron in 2010.

Lebron broke the hearts of a lot of Cavs fans back in 2010.

Made it worse by doing that "The Decision" interview.

This could be Tatum's idea of "The Decision Part 2" in 2025.

Maybe Cs fans would find that boring, but all teams with cap space and their fans would be excited.

Some Celtic fans are taking JT for granted, but the other 29 teams would sign JT for the max in an instant.

I know we're supposed to hate the Knicks but man, this team plays with so much grit and heart. They have no business even having a close game while missing 4 rotation guys and with their superstar hobbled. New York finally have a team they can be proud of.

And Aaron Nesmith may already be a top 5 lockdown defender in the league.

Nesmith is bad. Brunson got to his spots all night, just missed shots he normally makes.

3 time MVP Nicola Jokic hit a big milestone last night as he passed all time greats Moses Malone, Steve Nash and Jaylen Brown in career playoff scoring.

Jokic will continue scoring and win 4 straight against Minny.

Ant will join fellow Team USA teammates in Cancun next weekend.

I'm impressed a team coached by Jason Kidd is going this far

Luka, Larry’s son.
Gutsy performance our current superstar can only dream about.

What a shame he’s not wearing green.

I would love us to clobber Dallas and Kyrie in the finals.

Expected OKC/Dallas to be pretty competitive. Not sure if I’m surprised they take the lead (honestly not sure) but OKC definitely going to have some growing pains but man. They’re going to be good.

The playoffs are great because teams and players get exposed. Young teams are exciting but for each playoff game they expose more about what the opposition can do to stop them. OKC/Minny look legit for the future but there have been many in their place in history that are exposed and everything changes. Whether it be coaching, team construction or a player’s flaw that gets spammed so hard against that they lose all confidence, fail improve and rise above in future years. It’s still early for these teams to predict too much, but they are promising.

And if their owners are not willing to spend huge amounts of money on player salary, those teams could start losing players to free-agency soon.
