Richard Jefferson makes some pretty valid points about Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum that get overlooked due to Kendrick Perkins being wild. Jefferson says that Tatum and Brown need to be looking to get more than five free throws in a game like this when they’re not hitting from... deep (2-of-17). #Celtics #Nuggets #NBAshow more

I think it’s a valid point, especially on certain shots that were straight up bad shot selection But, nobody was getting to the line last night. Tatum drove the ball late plenty of times and JB in the post was very physical - Denver shot 13 Fts and BOS 14 the whole night

That’s fair. The officials were letting them play last night. I think that’s why they often resort to shooting 3’s when they realize they aren’t getting whistles to get to the line.

The Jay's drive a ton and yet somehow don't get a fair whistle especially Jaylen

I think Tatum and Brown attack the Basket Plenty most the time the problem is the only one getting a whistle is KP most the time. The refs let everything go against Tatum and Brown but call everything for the other team. An the Refs called everything tight the first half.

Richard Jefferson is spot on

He’s right, go to the rack

But at the same time, those guys will make those plays and then those open shots they pass to don’t go in. Those are still quality plays. I will admit they need to use their size more though.

Listen Tatum attacks the basket gets fouled and people will say he’s “foul hunting”. The guy can’t win for losing

Honestly its not the 3s themselves that bother me. The shots that Dwhite, Jrue, KP, and everyone else are taking, I WANT them to take those shots. However, the two best players need to work in the paint and mid range a lot for those 3 point shots to be as effective

You have to get calls to get free throws. Tatum got a tech after being pushed on a dunk. He was hacked multiple times on drives. The game was a swallow the whistle officiated game.
