We can’t replace Jayson Tatum, but we can recreate him… with edge.
The Boston Celtics were without their superpower on Tuesday night. It was a bit like Superman having to climb a set of stairs after he’s been hit with kryptonite — like, yeah, it sucks that he got kryptonited and all, but it’s just… a set of stairs. Surely Superman can dig deep and put one foot in front of the other.
The Orlando Magic are perhaps scarier than a set of stairs, but not by much. Jaylen Brown still laps their roster in terms of shot-making ability, and they have nobody who could remotely hang with Kristaps Porzingis — even after cutting his face open.
