Mazzulla ball has always been playing to the strengths of the roster, and the strength of this roster is insane length and athleticism at every position.

The Hornets are doubling up the Celtics from 3 but losing by 10 at the half. 9 more possessions for the C’s plus insane defense, especially at the rim is why. In the past few seasons that would not have been the case. Man I’m excited for this team.

Payton Pritchard is still severely underpaid. (I love this deal for both sides)

For an idea of how billionaire math works, when MacKenzie Scott started giving all this money away in 2020, her net worth was about $30 billion. Since then, she's given away $26.2 billion... and her net worth is STILL just about $30 billion. She literally can't give it away fast enough to run out.

Campbell is probably our second most important player behind Drake. Can’t lose him

Doesn’t matter if PG plays one minute with this team, they’re still going to be a wagon 🤷‍♂️

A bit of a cheat code that one of the best offensive teams in the league doesn’t need to make shots consistently anymore to score a ton of points. Possession maxing is going to fun.

Agree, with way better playmaking ability too.

Baylor is going to earn a lot of minutes this season. He looks great on both ends. Still can’t believe the type of defensive player he’s become.

Man you can really see how good this Celtics team can be defensively. Plus defenders at every position no matter what lineup they play.

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Another thing I’m excited about is the overall team athleticism. I can’t remember the last time a Celtics roster had this many insane athletes on it. It’s been a weakness for them especially as they’ve gone deeper in the playoffs.

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
The Celtics confirmed to me last night that they’ll be an absolute juggernaut in the regular season season. The possession-maxing style, and obviously improved defense (Mitch, PG) is a recipe to win tons of games with the type of offensive weapons they have. Also Devin Carter should make this team

The GOP is the party of rapists and rape apologists and pedophiles and pedophile defenders. These are true statements that are not on every Dem mailer and radio and TV ad but should be.

That 3 and out probably costs the Pats this game. Allen is gonna get it going eventually

The NFL is such an embarrassing league, the holding on Jones and the Vrabel flag are such a joke.

First time Drake has looked like himself all season.

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Tatums catch and shoot numbers are elite. Also high level pull up guy. Jaylen is neither of those
100
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Easier to get to the paint when you have an elite screen setter and roller on the court at all times. Can’t switch a guard onto big Mitch or Quetta because it’s either a dunk or an o-reb. Last year was tough because nobody respected Luka or Vuc from 3 esp in the playoffs

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
They won’t at all, but 1 of the 2 always will be.
000
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Point is they’ll always have one on the court.
000
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Also teams don’t respect Jaylen as a catch and shoot guy like they’ll have to respect PG as long as he’s healthy
110
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
They didn’t have 2 elite rim running bigs and screen setters. They had two pick and pop guys that nobody really respected.
010
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I think they’re going to lean heavily into high ball screens with 2 elite rim running bigs and lights out catch and shoot guys at every other wing and guard position. Tatum, Derrick, PP great pick and roll + pull up threats.

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Agree on Jaylen too, but I think his bad qualities were accentuated worse in the playoffs. Aside from 24, he had some really tough playoff moments. I think he was a guy that coaches were able to exploit easier in a series. But time will tell when it comes to playoff success.

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I agree about the regular season stuff when it comes to the off rebounding. Where I think Mitch can help them big time in the playoffs is always having an elite rim defender on the court.
000
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I agree with pressuring opponents inside which is why Mitch is so huge. They have the best off rebounder of all time, and another elite offensive rebounder in Queta. That’s the pressure in the paint, along with 3 really solid pull up 3point shooters. Tough to defend
100
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I thought that maybe Jaylen getting tunnel vision and high jacking the offense with long middies and live ball turnovers wasn’t helping. I also don’t think Paul George is the player they brought in too change how the team plays. I think Mitch Robinson is the player that does that.

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
I think it does

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Also they only have one other 6’10 guy who does all those things.

Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
You said another solid wing who mostly just shoots threes. My bad for explaining that he might do a little more than that T
100
Playoff Tatum @tonysmiles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
No but another complimentary wing who is a lights out shooter, doesn’t turn the ball over, and is high level defender and turnover creator. The game is more than just shooting the ball.

Starting the season 1-3 is tough, that why holding on in that Seattle game would have been so important. Thanks Drake
