Jayson Tatum Went Into Philly And Dunked All Over LeBron, Jaylen Brown, And The Entire Sixers Organization
In what was billed as the most anticipated regular season games in years, you could say there was a decent amount of pressure on Jayson Tatum. Considering the whole storyline was Tatum vs Brown, the pressure was on for him to meet the moment and not only win that battle, but win the game.
It didn't take long for Tatum to win the battle against Brown, that was mostly settled after the first quarter. But you see, the thing about Tatum is he is the root of generational trauma for Sixers fans. Everything they love, he destroys. Always has, always will. It's why they are so broken brained about him. That's the hurt. The deep, everlasting pain that has haunted them for nearly a decade. Let's not forget, Tatum buried the game winner against the Sixers in his very first Summer League game as a rookie and has been ruining their lives ever since.
This time around? Their new prized possessions. First, completely dominates the Jaylen Brown matchup. That shit was a bloodbath. Then of course, there was their other prized possession, LeBron James. Unfortunately, Jayson Tatum destroyed that too

Man, time sure does fly
Unlike when this happened in 2018, thankfully the rest of the Celts didn't completely let Tatum down after his LeBron poster, and instead dropped the absolute hammer.
It was one thing watching Tatum destroy everything the Sixers love, but to get THAT type of performance from Paul George as well?!?!?!

what a twist of the knife. Then you remember the Sixers also gave up 2 1st round picks, one of which should be a great pick in a loaded Draft. Woof. Not a great night for the new look Sixers who I'm told are contenders and the best team in the East.
Meanwhile, the Celts went on the road and immediately blew doors
Jaylen, finished a -27 in his minutes. Somewhere, there's a lesson in all this.
We'll dive into the details in the morning. For now, it's fuck the Sixers. Sure looks like Brad Stevens may have won again
