Jayson Tatum averages 11.6 potential assists for the season. Yesterday in OKC he had 15. The Celtics made ONE of those 15 shots (a Porzingis oop in transition). 6.7% shooting on Tatum feeds. Wild. – 7:40 AM

Going through stuff and I know no one cares much but I thought the flopping tech on Dort was interesting (also there was confusing during the broadcast). Watch him fall as Tatum was coming up to get the ball.. the ref makes the flopping signal there but lets the whole play go pic.x.com/9LNNorLxGX – 10:01 PM

Tatum said #Thunder‘s defense didn’t catch #Celtics off guard: “We knew what to expect. It was like the third game in a row we played against (a top defense) … we know what to expect.”
On the importance of this game: “We’re on a tough road trip. We want to win every game.” – 6:57 PM

I don’t think I’m the first person to make this point, but SGA’s MVP case feels a lot like a better version of Derrick Rose’s in 2011.
Offensive engine on a defense-first team competing with an all-time player on a really top-heavy roster with several recent trophies (Jokic). – 5:58 PM

What a play by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to chase down the fast break and get a block on Tatum at the rim. Hartenstein caps it with a dunk. A two-way MVP. – 5:34 PM

More on this storyline
“When I watch (the Spurs), it kind of reminds me of how we use Nikola,” Malone said before Friday’s game. “They put him in every conceivable action. He’s gonna set a ball screen. He’s gonna handle on a ball screen. He’s gonna set a pin-down. He’s gonna receive a pin-down. He’s gonna get an elbow iso.” -via Denver Post / January 5, 2025
“Multiple-time MVP. Soon to be MVP again,” Victor Wembanyama said, describing Nikola Jokic. “Can’t ask for a better way to get better.” The three-time league MVP returned the compliment by calling Wembanyama “one that’s going to be remembered forever.” -via Denver Post / January 5, 2025
Gary Washburn: Jayson Tatum said he bruised and scraped his right forearm in his spill into the stands. Said he’ll be fine. #Celtics. -via Twitter @GwashburnGlobe / January 5, 2025

Souichi Terada: Celtics beat the Raptors 125-71 in one last blowout win in 2024. C’s scored 80 points in the 2nd half alone. Jayson Tatum had 23 points, including 18 in the 3rd quarter. Payton Pritchard with 19/6/4. Next up are the Timberwolves on Thursday. -via Twitter @SouichiTerada / December 31, 2024
