Jayson Tatum went God Mode today and played one of the best games of his career. He ended the night with 54pts and I don't think he took a bad shot all night. In games where players are going off, there tend to be a lot of heat checks and I don't think we saw any of that for Tatum. All night long, he made the right basketball play and it was super impressive to watch. This calendar year, we have seen Tatum step up and have watched his game evolve. There are certainly still iso plays here and there BUT we are seeing him using his body and getting to the rim for better shots and also making the right passes out of doubles. Second half Tatum and First Half Tatum don't even seem like the same player and I am here for it. 

The last several years have brought up several narratives including the fact that Jaylen and Jayson can't play together and they don't make anyone around them better. This calendar year has completely shot that narrative down as they have both really changed their game to suit the team. Both of them have become definitively better passers and that has created several open shot opportunities for teammates. We are also seeing the Jays playing off of each other which we have all been calling for for years. Things are clicking at the right time as the Celtics look to continue the climb up the Eastern Conference Standings.
