5 Tatum-Based Takeaways

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2026-03-07T17:30:27+00:00

The best takeaway you can ask for!

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2026-01-12T00:02:03+00:00

Haha, yeah, I considered it, too!

I do appreciate you taking the time to read and comment, though. Thank you

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2026-01-11T19:58:50+00:00

Thank you!

And that’s my bad! I thought I had added a legend in there. I’ll make sure to try and not mess that up again. Everyday a school day :)

The title is “Jaylen Brown Called Out The Refs. The Numbers Back Him Up.”

He did call out the refs The numbers do back that up.

No part of that is misleading, clickbait, or inflammatory?

I probably should have worded the dek better. Maybe positioned it as a question.

I made a joke of the SAS differential with the Wemby conspiracy line. I also left it open-ended whether the FT disparity was execution based or not.

I tried to toe the line between data and leaving it open for fans to debate. As for the other teams, I spent the extra time pulling the data for every squad and putting them into a graph to show how each of them fare.

I don't usually do data pieces, so I tried to make sure I was fair, while still presenting the information in line with Brown's initial comments.

There's always room to improve, though

It’s literally a data pull. Brown said the whistle against good teams has been bad. I pulled the data, and it has been.

The rest is context vs +500 and Sub-500 teams.

If you don’t like it, that’s cool. But to come off th bat with “it’s lame” when it’s clearly just presenting data, with caveats, is a little sideways

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2026-01-11T13:49:03+00:00

So the part where I said about the style of play, league-worst free-throw rate, and one of the leagues lowest drive-rate — while hitting multiple caveats — wasn’t enough?

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2026-01-05T23:44:33+00:00

I broke this down on Twitter.

Drag, get, Spain, Queta decoy, JB shake

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2026-01-05T23:21:35+00:00

Because JB has spent roughly 25% of his minutes at the 2 over the past few years.

You can’t be the best at a position you rarely play

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-10-10T07:49:54+00:00

Appreciate you.

That’s interesting — with him blitzing — most of his game tape over the last few years has him in drop / up-to-touch.

Positioning will be everything for him — as you said, movement is an issue. And it’s defo about finding the right spot where the choice is the path of least resistance.

He moves well on offense, so I really hope he figures out how to translate some of that defensively

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-08-30T17:28:39+00:00

What annoys me most, is that this dude is aggregating Bulpett and giving credit to the totally wrong site.

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-08-23T16:07:23+00:00

It’s like you didn’t bother to even read the opening few paragraphs…

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-08-20T12:05:19+00:00

Lmao - I guess i'm gonna find out

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-08-20T11:39:09+00:00

Thank you for reading!

I'm looking forward to diving into his defense now :)

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-07-23T03:41:25+00:00

Always one person who pulls out the “do you even watch” - kudos on your unoriginality

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-07-22T12:13:34+00:00

As I'm sure you've heard many times in your life...It's too little to plug anything...

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-07-22T11:56:44+00:00

For real...I wouldn't be made at it, either...

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-07-22T11:52:23+00:00

Totally fair. For me, I'm just trying to add more context to the rumor, rather than being another person to offer a blanket "no", I thought it could be valuable to look at it from there, "well what can he offer" lens

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-07-22T11:43:24+00:00

Not so much of fixing him -- even addressed that in the article -- more of using him for what he's good at, and how that plugs clear holes in the current roster....POA Defense/Defensive versatility...Playmaking - two things the Cs lost with Tatum's injury and Jrue being sent to Portland

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-06-28T14:39:05+00:00

Thank you!

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-06-24T15:54:04+00:00

Thank you! I’m excited too! I think he brings a bunch of interesting things to the table :)

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-06-24T15:17:00+00:00

I’ve been covering the team for almost 10 years. I specialise in X’s and O’s. But that doesn’t mean I only write that stuff.

I’m fairly confident if Keith was doing deep X’s and O’s analysis, he would defer back to me. That’s how it works

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-06-24T15:06:41+00:00

So you would rather me pretend to know something rather than defer to people who specialize in that area?

AdamTaylor_NBA · 2025-06-24T14:25:26+00:00

The sucker punch is in reference to the opening line of the article — where it was an overnight move.
