Was the Boston Celtics’ in-season tournament loss to the Indiana Pacers Jayson Tatum’s fault?

Analysts are suggesting that the reason Boston is not headed to Las Vegas, Nevada to play in the IST’s semifinals is because of how the St. Louis native comported himself.

Was the Boston Celtics‘ in-season tournament (IST) loss to the Indiana Pacers Jayson Tatum‘s fault? From afar, the Celtics are rolling and Tatum is the NBA’s Player of the Month for November, currently on the fringes of the league’s 2024 Most Valuable Player conversation.

But in the Celtics’ recent loss to the Pacers in the IST, some prominent analysts are suggesting that the reason Boston is not headed to Las Vegas, Nevada to play in the IST’s semifinals is because of how the St. Louis native comported himself in the second half of that tilt that sent the Celtics packing for a Friday tilt against the New York Knicks instead.

The analyst would be Jason Timpf of the eponymous “Hoops Tonight with Jason Timpf” podcast from the folks at Volume.
