Bobby Manning: Tatum: “You want to continue to average more (points) every year … you know you can do that … it took some time (to learn) … that’s not necessarily what this team needs on a nightly basis.” “I’ve done everything but win a championship … (we’re) doing what it takes.”

Tatum said he didn’t need to be first in MVP conversations, but he wanted to push back against the notion that he can’t win because of what happened in the Finals two years ago. – 11:08 PM

Bulls made the Celtics sweat heading into halftime, but a great defensive second half paired with Tatum’s 15-point third quarter earns the Celtics a solid road win out of the All-Star break, beating the Bulls 129-112.
Xavier Tillman had a few nice plays in his Celtics debut too. – 10:15 PM

Scal: “This Celtics team is so uniquely built, it doesn’t have to be just one guy for 48 minutes”
And this is why Jayson Tatum isn’t getting more attention as the MVP. The “best player on the best team” is so dismissive of how good everyone else has been – 10:04 PM

Tatum on JB taking over early: “I just understand to let them do their thing to open up the game for me. I know I can essentially take over when I need to & I just didn’t think like that earlier in my career.”
15 for JT in the 3rd.

Celtics won 3rdQ 37-21 and lead #Bulls 96-83 heading into 4th. After a quiet 1stH, Tatum scored 15 in 3rd. Boston started setting screens to get him away from Caruso, then Tatum finished quarter with a high-arching 3 over Caruso. – 9:48 PM

Tatum elevating. This is where things could get dangerous.
Coby White responds with a floater to close the third quarter trailing 96-83.
Bulls were outscored 37-21 in that frame. – 9:47 PM

Already a D.White play minutes into the second half, saving two points defending Vucevic on the baseline after Tatum botched a transition layup the other way. – 8:18 PM

Jayson Tatum talked more about his relationship with Jaylen Brown in his all-star ESPN interview. Got some great perspective from Joe Mazzulla pre-game on his view of how they’ve evolved as teammates:

More on this storyline
Jared Weiss: Jayson Tatum on the debate surrounding his MVP candidacy vs. the likes of Jokic & SGA: “There’s been a lot of talk about that the last couple days and those guys are putting up ridiculous numbers every game and doing a lot for their teams. I have no problem with those guys being the leaders of the race. I’m not saying I needed to be first. I just had a problem with some people on TV saying the reason I won’t win this year is because of something that happened two years ago. That was my only disconnect, because there’s a lot of talented guys in this league right now that’s doing a lot of great things.” -via Twitter @JaredWeissNBA / February 23, 2024

Clutch Points: “Yeah, it is. I think I’m better than I was 2 years ago, [Jaylen Brown] is better, [Kristaps Porzingis] makes all the difference in the world, obviously Jrue Holiday.” Jayson Tatum on whether this year’s Celtics team is better than the 2022 Finals team. pic.twitter.com/pPoL92Ir7N -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / February 21, 2024
