Jayson Tatum on what it means to be on a winning team "Everybody has to sacrifice to be on a great team... No individual stat or accolade can measure up to being on a winning team that's having fun" (Via @MarvinW80261365 🎥)

Luka had 1 assist to 7 potentials, so six missed assists. Tatum had 5 assists to FOURTEEN potentials. Nine missed assists. Tatum was actually the guy whose teammates cost him assists.

Looking back, Jayson Tatum really set a tone with his drives and the timing of his passes. Combine that with Boston clearing wings and having Jrue Holiday at the dunker spot and Dallas didn't have the same conviction with their help.

Once Kyrie got spun on by Jayson Tatum, Kyrie did an "excellent" job avoiding the poster.🤷🏾‍♂️☘️💪🏾

Here’s what I saw from Tatum last night - guarding the 5 to blow up pick and rolls like he’s done all postseason (nobody giving him credit for his defensive versatility) - not settling as much, drawing 2 & kicking against the bigs of Dallas - not forcing shots or needing to…

With the Celtics spacing, I don't know how much the Mavericks can rely on Gafford helping Anytime he showed help, that was an easy kick & an open 3pt for someone I like that 2nd clip. Tatum hunts Kyrie, Gafford showing help but it's a weakside pindown for Brown

The Mavs were keyed in on Tatum defensively in game 1 & even though it looked ugly at times (6 TO), he was committed to making the right play. Tatum had 5 assists & 14 potential assists, the most out of anyone. Let's see how Kidd & the Mavs react in game 2, but if they're going…

Tatum’s gotta take these.

After an impressive #NBAFinals Game 1, has Jaylen Brown changed his role in Boston? “The whole whose team is it thing, that’s for us, that’s for fans. Those guys don’t go out there & say let me check with Jayson Tatum, is it all right if I get aggressive here?” @DarthAmin

Eventually for some of you your third eye will open and you will understand that Jayson Tatum hate is 99% forced and the product of a deep state plot

Boston doesn't want corner 3s and it rarely helped off Kyrie in Game 1. It also wants to keep its centers low as often as possible. I bet Dallas tries to push this button more in Game 2: get Tatum onto Luka with Horford or KP 1 pass away. It takes Boston's size out of help.

Jayson Tatum on defenders that he faced for 12+ partial possessions in Game 1 of the #NBAFinals: Derrick Jones Jr. (team-leading 18.5 possessions) 3 points, 2 assists, 1-1 FG P.J. Washington 2 points, 1 assist, 1 turnover Josh Green 0 points, 0 assists, 0-5 FG

You know what's also important about drafting a BPA? Making sure the other teams don't get them. But hey, I liked Tatum over Lonzo and Fox. Thought it was really obvious when Tatum wanted to be a Laker, was a developing player in HS, and understood what it was all about.

“If I’m Brad Stevens, I’m keeping [Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown] together for as long as possible… With those guys together, the east probably runs through Boston for the next 6-7 years” - New Orleans Pelicans Forward @Matt_Ryan04

Derrick White is more important to the Boston Celtics right now than Jayson Tatum
