Jayson Tatum Is Coming For All-NBA, for MVP and for a championship, writes SIChrisMannix
Mazzulla received a celebratory water shower in the locker room after his first win, and he earned it. Mazzulla, the NBA’s youngest coach, looked poised in his first game, but he will be under a season-long microscope, too. Players praised Mazzulla’s coaching postgame. “From the start of the game, the confidence was oozing out of him,” Smart said. The defensive schemes looked largely the same while an emphasis on playing faster was evident early.
A faster pace will help everyone, including Tatum. Meeting with the media Tuesday, Tatum reflected on his offseason. It has been a long few years for Tatum. From the lengthy bubble run in 2020 to the quick turnaround into ’21, from the Olympic cycle the following summer and Boston’s deep playoff run last spring, breaks have been limited. He got it last summer, giving his body, including a troublesome right wrist, a chance to heal and his game an opportunity to grow.
No statement, but make no mistake: Tatum is coming. For All-NBA, for MVP and for a championship. All the compliments Tatum received from friends and peers for his play last season rolled right off. “They meant it in a good way,” said Tatum. “It’s just a reminder that you lost.” He struggled to sleep Monday knowing it would be the Warriors celebrating a ring ceremony on opening night. “It’s a new season,” said Tatum. “Ready to move past it.” Move past, it seems, and move forward.
