Yeah, this was a, honestly, as good of a bounce back game as you could have asked for from Jason Tatum after what happened on Tuesday, right? It basically refuted all of, not all of, but a lot of the issues that had reared their heads against the Pistons, right? Like shots were going in today.
It felt like he was a little bit more under control with the shots he was taking and you didn't feel as frustrated at times.
I think part of that was the shots going in, right? Like I think late in the fourth quarter, had those shots missed.
We're talking a little bit differently about maybe it's time to get better shots, but he got in a rhythm, took advantage.
And ultimately that's part of what wins basketball games is the ball does have to go in.
Great is they can make difficult shots and it's about them being able to get to their spots.
He's going to be averaging nine a game after this, which is a great Mark, but the rebounding was great.
But yeah, what a fourth quarter, huh? I was saying in the first of floor discord that I think if you parlayed all of those shots, what was he? You said four for four in the final three and a half minutes of the game.
If you parlayed all four of those shots going in, you could buy the Celtics like that.
And, you know, I think it's credit to Tatum for having the mental strength to pull up today after the Jalen debacle last night, kind of taking center stage this morning in the news cycle.
And then also having been the eye of the NBA Twitter meme storm for the last two days, like very, very gutsy performance against a good team.
