                          To Be The Best, Jayson Tatum Is Having To Beat The Best

                          Being almost the best player in the NBA is a far cry from being the best. Just ask Jayson Tatum.  After toppling Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the NBAplayoffs, Tatum and his Boston Celtics currently trail 0-1 in a second-round series against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. Though Tatum outplayed Durant in the first round, he couldn't outmaneuver Antetokounmpo, who showed why he's the reigning Finals MVP with a dominant performance in the first game of the Bucks-Celtics matchup.  Of course, games between NBA teams are not reducible to matchups between superstars, but Tatum's performances against Durant and Antetokounmpo in many ways represent the successes and struggles of his team. The climb up the rungs of the superstar ladder is fraught with increasing and diverse challenges, as Tatum and the Celtics know all too well. The first-round series wasn't the first time Tatum faced Durant in the playoffs. In 2021, the Nets topped the Celtics in five games, but Boston's lone win came on May 28 when Tatum scored 50 points, still his playoff career high. But how he guarded Durant this time around -- and how he shot with Durant guarding him -- was arguably what tipped the scales between the two teams. When they faced off, Tatum bested Durant this time Shots per 100 possessions and the...

                                Roster Construction Doomed The Brooklyn Nets

                                After opening the season as championship favorites, the Brooklyn Nets are instead gone fishing, the first actual playoff participants eliminated from the real postseason tournament after they were swept 4-0 by the Boston Celtics. Though they lost the four games by only a combined 18 points, the Nets often appeared outmanned, outclassed, outexecuted, out-just-about-everything-ed by their opponents on their way to going gentle into that good Brooklyn night. The Nets' series loss showcased the shortcomings of their roster construction, including, specifically, just how short so many of their rotation players were. Boston's size advantage, particularly on the perimeter, was noticeable throughout the series. The Nets gave just 146 total minutes to players listed between 6-foot-4 and 6-foot-8, with 139 of them going to Bruce Brown, who is 6-4. The Celtics gave more minutes to three individual players in that size range (6-8 Jayson Tatum, 6-6 Jaylen Brown and 6-4 Marcus Smart), and 669 total minutes to their five rotation players who met that criteria (that star trio, plus 6-4 Derrick White and 6-6 Grant Williams). Meanwhile, Brooklyn doled out 453 minutes to players listed at 6-foot-3 or shorter (Kyrie Irving, Seth Curry, Goran Dragic and Patty Mills), while Boston gave just 46 minutes to its only rotation player of that size (Payton Pritchard). As a result, the average player on the floor for the Celtics was larger than the average...
