Is star Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum to blame for the Celtics’ late-game struggles? The St. Louis native’s tendency to go rogue late in contests while doing his best to emulate his friend and mentor Kobe Bryant has done damage to Boston’s aspirations.
Is he the only one to blame for this? Does head coach Joe Mazzulla and his bench carry some of that blame? And more importantly for the hunt to finally hang Banner 18, what can be done to exorcise this ugly blemish on the Duke alum’s otherwise elite play? That question may well need answering before Boston has a real shot at winning it all.
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Beat!” podcast did their best to answer these questions on a recent episode with Heavy’s Steve Bulpett. Check out the clip below to hear their thoughts.
