Tag: Jayson Tatum

I’d seen some chatter, before this game, speculating that Jayson Tatum had hit the “rookie wall”, which is a real place in the NBA offices in Secaucus, New Jersey where they take underperforming/slumping rookies, mount them to a rocket sled, and ram them into a big brick wall. Damn. That would make a good description….

I could deal with the Celtics broadcast not showing replays of Daniel Theis hitting three-pointers. That’s understandable. All three-pointers roughly look the same. The fans don’t necessarily need to see multiple angles of a guy shooting a jumpshot from 24 feet away. But this…this is inexcusable. Jayson Tatum showed it all last night. He only…

With his 2-for-2 performance tonight, Jayson Tatum pushes his three-point percentage back up to a nice round 50. Somehow he is still behind George Hill (wtf I thought he was sucking) in that category, but there’s no shame in being second place with that kind of stat. We’re getting close to the halfway point of…

Jayson Tatum’s ROTY of the year chances are extremely slim this year, given the combined presences of Ben Simmons, Donovan Mitchell, and Kyle Kuzma. But it seems like a waste to have a player have such an efficient, impressive rookie season and come away from it without any sort of trophy or accolade. So I…

I didn’t even realize that Jayson “Jason Taytum” Tatum was leading the league in three-point percentage until it was brought up during this game. I thought that the guys doing the broadcast for ESPN were so afraid of losing their jobs that they would say any stat that they thought would attract more viewers, so…

Let the Giannis comparisons begin! I was actually thinking about that while compiling this vid, about the similarities in their game, and then Scal comes right out and makes the comparison. It was in regards to how much ground Tatum can cover with his strides, but I think there are more similarities beyond that. For…

The team Jayson Tatum is on is too good. How is he supposed to live up to his full scoring potential if there are a bunch of other competent dudes on what should be his roster? Either the Celtics need to get very crappy, very quickly, or they need to trade Tatum to a team…

There are so many good rookies right now that I can’t even figure out who’s in the lead for ROTY of the year. If we’re looking solely at Win Shares per 48 (a stat which I don’t understand), and we exclude meme players like Sindarius Thornwell and Jordan Bell, then Jayston Tatum is first on…

Jayson “JayTay” Tatum achieved a great statistical feat tonight: the famed “scrub by five”. If you’ve never heard of such a thing before, let me illuminate matters: it means a player got at least 2 of each of the 5 statistical categories. The other thing about scrub by fives is that only scrubs/role-players/detritus can get…
