Jason Kidd on Jayson Tatum: He's one of the best players in the world

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Annual trip to Greece for members of the #Bucks is underway. Noted skills coach Drew Hanlen (Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum) is also part of the traveling party. – 3:43 PM
Tim Reynolds @ByTimReynolds
Jayson Tatum says he watched the Panthers and Matthew Tkachuk last night. Isn’t exactly certain on all the rules of hockey, but is rooting for his former schoolmate to get this done. – 2:46 PM
Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Anyway
Porzingis injury should help Dallas get to 100+ points comfortably for the rest of the series
And Tatum/Celtics shooters might want to actually make shots going forward. We’ve only just begun *Ric Flair voice* – 2:40 PM
Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
“In America nothing is good enough and it’s about what you can do for me right now,” Celtics head coach Joe Mazzula said as part of his response to a Brazilian media member who asked if he agreed if Jayson Tatum is playing his best basketball right now. – 2:27 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Derrick Jones said the crowds they’ve shown Tatum isn’t just a Tatum thing. Their philosophy is that they don’t want any #Celtics getting straight line access to the rim. – 1:46 PM
Jay King @ByJayKing
Jason Kidd: “Holiday is very comfortable in the dunker. He plays as a big.”
Stressed that Holiday isn’t just a scorer down there, but also a playmaker. That’s been a big theme from the first two games, how the Celtics guards have operated down low, forcing Dallas’ guards to be… – 1:41 PM

Mavericks’ Jason Kidd on Celtics’ Jayson Tatum: “He’s one of the best players in the world.” – 1:36 PM
Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2
New story: Jason Kidd said the #Mavs need someone outside of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving to step up on the offensive end.
Assuming Irving returns to form in Game 3, who’s it going to be? dallasnews.com/sports/maveric…12:29 PM

Anyone want to read about the actual basketball being played during the NBA Finals? Lifting players up instead of tearing them down? Then this story is for you!
Jayson Tatum has not been nearly as bad as his haters proclaim:

Tatum assisted on all 11 makes. – 3:38 PM

GAME 2 PODCAST
— Jayson Tatum, despite the shooting numbers, did everything he needed to do.
— The Celtics won on one of their worst shooting nights.
— Luka’s first half was special. The defense on him after that was too.

The accidental kernel of truth in Jason Kidd’s off day comment wasn’t that Jayson Tatum wasn’t Boston’s best player … it’s that he didn’t need to be.

What if Jason Kidd wasn’t playing mind games and what if they DID work? 🧘🏻‍♀8:52 AM

New for @TheAthleticNBA
– Jason Kidd had to try goading the Celtics into beating themselves … because his Mavericks can’t beat them. nytimes.com/athletic/55529…8:36 AM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
New: While Jason Kidd is playing mind games off the floor, a subtle tweak to the Celtics offense by Joe Mazzulla has helped to take away the Mavericks’ biggest postseason strength, leading to a 2-0 series lead: masslive.com/celtics/2024/0…8:35 AM

New on BSJ: Jason Kidd tried a mind trick. It backfired and became the most unselfish night two superstars could have

Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Jason Kidd tried to drive a wedge between Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
Their response?
One of their best playmaking games together of their careers. Now they’re 2 wins away from being champions.
“How they work together is something that is sacred and something that can’t – 3:14 AM
Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
If Jason Kidd called the Sultan of Stat the best numbers/information guy in the league, no one would bat an eye.

Joe Vardon @joevardon
Luka is hurting. Kyrie is struggling. And Jason Kidd’s mind game didn’t work. All are ingredients in a recipe for the Dallas Mavericks’ 2-0 deficit at the NBA Finals, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/55528…11:56 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Jason Kidd dared the Jays to splinter. They combined for 19 assists tonight, two fewer than Kidd’s entire team. – 10:29 PM
Jared Weiss @JaredWeissNBA
Doncic misses the three and the Mavs aren’t fouling. Celtics take a 2-0 Finals lead back to Dallas after Tatum and Brown combine for 19 assists. Jason Kidd tried to drive a wedge, but they’ve seen that move plenty of times and didn’t flinch. – 10:27 PM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Derrick White knocks down a 3, Jason Kidd calls timeout, and that should just about do it here in Boston. – 10:19 PM
Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
Jrue Holiday playing like HE was the one who took it personally when Jason Kidd said Jaylen Brown was the best player on the Celtics. (23 points on 10-12 shooting and eight rebounds through three quarters.) – 9:55 PM
Peter Vecsey @PeterVecsey1
I suspect it’s almost time for Jason Kidd to spill a cup of soda on the court… – 9:43 PM
Frank Isola @TheFrankIsola
Jason Kidd spent the first 30 seconds of the time out “talking” to referees Tony Brothers & Bill Kennedy. He wasn’t happy. – 9:35 PM
Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Jason Kidd is going to come into Game 3 saying that Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Derrick White are Boston’s second, third, and fourth-best players. – 9:27 PM
Stephen Noh @StephNoh
Here’s what Jason Kidd & co. went to out of timeout. Boston leaves Derrick Jones Jr. wide open again above the break, Derrick White is conceding that shot. He can’t make them pay. pic.twitter.com/XSTbzDAWqW9:07 PM

Tatum taking this shot is perfect timing, as Doris says that he won’t be affected by Jason Kidd proclaiming Jaylen Brown as the best player on the Celtics. pic.twitter.com/4cjSXofD0L8:24 PM

Bad use of a challenge by Jason Kidd.
Foul on Washington upheld, two free throws for Derrick White, Dallas loses its challenge. – 8:21 PM

Jason Kidd says Luka Doncic suffered his chest contusion by either “taking a charge or diving on the floor.” Reiterates that he’s questionable and they’ll see how he feels. – 6:30 PM
Eddie Sefko @ESefko
Luka is questionable. Will go through warmups and see how he feels. Thoracic injury was suffered either taking a charge or diving for a loose ball, per Jason Kidd. – 6:28 PM
Brian Robb @BrianTRobb
Luka Doncic got hurt by diving on the floor or taking a charge according to Jason Kidd. He’s still questionable at this point awaiting how he warms up. – 6:27 PM
