After coming up short in his first trip to the NBA Finals two years ago, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum said Saturday that he views this return to the league's championship round as a 'second chance' at achieving his ultimate goal as a player.
said Saturday that he views this return to the league's championship round as a"second chance" at achieving his ultimate goal as a player.
"Yeah obviously there were some ups and downs but I think, for me, being a first, second-year player, being around a superstar, essentially, every day and seeing how to navigate that space," Tatum said."And then obviously on the court, he's one of the most talented guys I've ever seen. When asked about what would go into the decision to either re-insert Porzingis into the starting lineup, or have him come off the bench, Mazzulla said the choice will come down to determining how he can best help the Celtics win games in this series.
"And that kind of just goes down the line for everyone. So when KP's at his best, he's been tremendous for us. We expect that from him and we know he'll give that to us. And as far as everything else, just what goes into winning is the most important thing. What gives us the best chance to win each particular game, each particular possession, and each particular matchup."
