Jayson Tatum Is One Bad Motherfucker

Jayson Tatum. I could stop right there if I wanted to. What else has to be said? The man turned 24 and unlocked something serious. Two days ago it was outdueling Ja Morant by dropping 21 in the fourth quarter to seal that win. Today? How about a little 54 piece right in Kevin Durant's eyeball. In a game with KD and Kyrie on the floor, Jayson Tatum was the best player. In a game where the Celts needed their superstar to put the team on his back, Tatum did. 

When this is the version of Tatum that we get, he is the very definition of unstoppable. You cannot guard this. All you can really do is hope the refs don't call a foul or pray Tatum misses. But when he asserts himself and plays aggressive, he's too strong. Then once the three ball starts dropping, it's over for you. Just sit back and enjoy the show because you are watching one of the best players in the league do what he does best. There are not many players alive right now that can go toe to toe with Kevin Durant, and Tatum makes it look easy. I feel pretty confident in saying it is not easy, Tatum is just a different breed.

What else is there to say about this team right now. They are the hottest team in the NBA and it doesn't matter who is in front of them right now. Their defense wasn't even all that great at times and it still didn't matter, you know why? Because they have Jayson Tatum. Just think, if he's this good at 24, imagine what he'll be at 26. 

We'll dive into the game as usual in the morning. Everyone enjoy your goddamn Sunday. What a win, what a team, what a player
