Tatum and Brown in particular have a history of complaining to be slighted for individual awards and recognition. My bet is that seeing NBA superstars toss their support to "Steve" (haha) has to feel like a slight just through their eyes. I dunno. I don't care what they use for motivation. Winning is everything.Monkey_Driven wrote:They need that to be motivated? It's the NBA Finals.Coach wrote:That should be a motivating factor for Boston in this series.verb_to_trust wrote:Saw something where Steve responded to all the support he's seeing from other players like LeBron on Twitter and that it means everything to him. More than anything, the guy just wants to be seen as cool.
I look for Tatum to have a big game tonight or Thursday. He's due.

Re: NBA Thread
I dont think Tatum is going to do it. 25 points on poor shooting maybe. Celtics need to hope for a derrick white or grant Williams game and to get 20 plus out of Tatum brown.

My current thinking is Celtics blowout win tonight, loss at the Garden, loss at GSW - failure to closeout close game strikes again. I hope that I'm wrong.

They've been able to win two Game 7s already. I have a feeling whoever wins tonight will win the series.Coach wrote:My current thinking is Celtics blowout win tonight, loss at the Garden, loss at GSW - failure to closeout close game strikes again. I hope that I'm wrong.

Why’s Steph doing so well? Thought the Celts had DPOY.
