KP 15 points on 5-7 at the half vs Houston. But Tatum and Brown...
Tatum was 0 points on 0-5 at the half. Brown was I think 17 points on 6-13. So, Porzingis was carrying the offense.
Third quarter? No shots for KP. It's all Tatum and Brown shot jacking. Tatum is now at 2-10 shooting and Brown is 9-17.
First half:
KP 5-7
Tatum 0-5
Brown 6-13
Halfway thru 3rd quarter:
KP 5-7
Tatum 2-10
Brown 9-17
These two are so threatened 
And probably for good reason. There's a reason Derrick White got playing time on Team USA while Tatum was benched and Brown was left home.
Tatum and Brown are the 'faces' of Boston's success because they've been there the longest. But theyre not elite players. They're just the visible players a stacked team.

Re: KP 15 points on 5-7 at the half vs Houston. But Tatum and Brown...
Why are you trying to lump in 24 points on 9/17 with 11 points on 3/11 
Sure, KP should have gotten more looks, but Brown's having a good game.

Brown isn't elite (although he is definitely good) but you'd have to be pretty ****ing stupid to think Tatum isn't. Then again, op IS pretty ****ing stupid...

Brown outshoots KP every game, despite not being a better scoring option.

Tatum up to 3-12
BEASTING
KP still on 5-7.
Luke Kornet on 7-8.
If the Celtics win, RRR3 will credit Tatum

Does last summer count as close enough to right now?
Because Ill just name everyone on Team USA who started over him including Derrick White. And that wont even include Doncic, SGA, Joker, Giannis etc.
Shoot I dont even have to put KP on the list to get to 10 even tho hes also a better player currently

Tatum has always been empty calories with pretty numbers. There's a reason Brown won FMVP and a reason Tatum didn't see the floor for Team USA.

FIBA isn't the same as NBA, and we're obviously discussing NBA, and LeBron who was one of the guys playing over him has declined a lot since then. You're also ignoring guys like White are going to have an easier time adapting to being role players than first options like Tatum on those kind of teams. Listing KP and Derrick White is just trolling.

I rank guys by who Id want in a big game right now today, if fully healthy. Not who runs up numbers in the regular season marathon.
Give me Lebron over Tatum easy, give me White, KP, Jimmy Butler. Brunson. I'd take Kyrie. Sabonis. AD. Probably Wembanyama.
To say nothing of KD, Joker, Giannis, Ant, SGA, Luka.
Those guys may not have Tatum's polished and protected regular season stat lines, but in a game that actually matters theyre the BETTER BASKETBALL PLAYERS.
You just have know way of knowing because youre a low IQ.
