Jayson Tatum is a great young man and a very good player, but he's a streak shooter who can get just as cold as he can hot – and is cold more than hot.

— Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) May 14, 2023

Tatum again!! 🔥🔥 BOS +28. Chauuuuu. 👋

— Manu Ginobili (@manuginobili) May 14, 2023

Never ever call Jayson Tatum a playoff dropper ever again.

— TatumMuse (@TatumMuse) May 14, 2023

Tatum said he’s one of the best players in the world then backed it up and then some. Incredible 4 quarter stretch

— Big Cat (@BarstoolBigCat) May 14, 2023

Jayson Tatum leading Celtics in points (42), rebounds (11), and assists (5). This is going to be up there as one of the best all-around playoff performances in franchise history.

— Brian Robb (@BrianTRobb) May 14, 2023

This defense today has been incredible. They took Embiid out of this game with late double teams and just amazing straight up defense from Horford. Tatum eliminated him on the offensive end by taking him out to the perimeter.

— John Karalis 🇬🇷🇦🇲 🇺🇦 (@John_Karalis) May 14, 2023

So are y’all finally gonna admit Tatum has been clear of Embiid as a player for a good 3 years now or will y’all still say Embiid is better because of games in January vs the Hornets

Lakers Celtics finals sits at 50% (goofy) https://t.co/8yeSzeHomY

The Celtics are taking the soul of Philadelphia right now.

Sixers might blow this whole thing up after coming short in an Embiid MVP season.

Wow, one of the greatest Mothers Day of all time.

— Football (@BostonConnr) May 14, 2023

The process is one of the funniest things in sports. 76ers fans are told to be patient just trust the process. The Process started in 2013 they will now have to wait another year to get eliminated by the Boston Celtics

The NBA really made Embiid the MVP… Tatum has something to say about that pic.twitter.com/p4blViLCzu

Imagine thinking Embid is 1/100th of the player Tatum is?

— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) May 14, 2023

I humbly agree that Jayson Tatum is humbly one of the best basketball players in the world. Humbly.

JAYSON TATUM HAS THE MOST POINTS EVER IN A GAME 7.

51 AND COUNTING 🤯 pic.twitter.com/2yg4RcACZB

— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) May 14, 2023

Steph Curry's NBA record for most points scored in a Game 7 (50) reigned for 2 weeks. Jayson Tatum is now the new record holder (51, and counting).

— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) May 14, 2023

And now Steph's overrated 50 point Game 7 performance vs the Kings where he took almost 40 shots gets dethroned by Tatum. Amazing.

— Barry (@BarryOnHere) May 14, 2023

HISTORY FOR JAYSON TATUM 🔥

51 POINTS AND COUNTING 😱 pic.twitter.com/3wdulBhlFE

Jayson Tatum is going to go down as one of the greatest Celtics to ever walk this earth

— Dan Greenberg (@StoolGreenie) May 14, 2023

51 piece for Jayson Tatum

Most ever in a Game 7

At least the 76ers will be remembered for being apart of this historic game.

Congrats to Philly.

Sixers in Game 7s:

The Kawhi shot

— Dionysis Aravantinos (@AravantinosDA) May 14, 2023

Jayson Tatum had 50 in a game 7 elimination game I guess he’s top 5 all time now using curry fan logic

— Mark Jackson’s Burner (@casualtakeking) May 14, 2023

OK, but does Jayson Tatum have that killer instinct?

— Dan Greenberg (@StoolGreenie) May 14, 2023
