1. A more physical Jayson Tatum leading the Boston Celtics

What is standing out about both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown is their physicality on the court.  We see it with Brown’s powerful dunks and with Tatum we see it in his ability to take the ball to the hoop and create more foul shots.

That is a difference in Tatum is season and it showed in this game against the Chicago Bulls.  He is not settling for jumpers or 3-pointers, but he is driving to the hoop, using his body and also setting up his teammates with his playmaking ability.

There is a maturity there and it appears as those his performance in the NBA Finals has not only humbled him but made him a hungrier player and the type of leader on the court the team was looking for as his presence in that lineup with Brogdon, Hauser, Kornet and Grant Williams made each of those players better players.

In scoring 36 points, Tatum didn’t have a great shooting night as he was just 8-of-23 from the field, but it was the 20 free throws he shot that showed a player that has risen to the depths of superstardom.  He is not only creating the calls but getting the calls.  He is also making his presence known on the boards pulling down 12 rebounds and adding 6 assists.

Averaging 30.9 points a game along with 8.5 rebounds, those M-V-P chants from Boston Celtics fans from arena to arena are justified and Tatum is showing he is a true candidate by impacting the game in ways other than just scoring.

Celtics fans, the super star in Tatum has arrived.
