MVP candidate Tatum likes to suffer
of celtics Now they represent the ideal team, solid on both sides of the track, united and, above all, not all champions or potential champions have, sometimes suffering when they are weak. In preparation for something that has brought a gentle victory routine, they fall forward adversity, especially when parading one after the other.To Toronto only for happiness Sixers and things Net Taking advantage of the understaffed Raptors made them suffer and the Celtics learned it well and escaped all their “traps”. Nick Nurse Despite losing 10 in the second quarter, they stepped up with a win (110-116). Juancho Hernangomez He didn’t play as he recovered from a sprained ankle he sustained against the Orlando Magic, but was able to return this week.
Boston knows how to suffer, Jason Tatum, he loves it.Forwards, as if noticing constant scrutiny as to who could be assigned the role of competitor Luka Doncic in the fight for him MVPs, He left behind an impressive demonstration of who he is. 31 points (11/24 on shots, 5/10 on triples) 12 rebounds and 3 assists. His expositions abound this season, but he’s been trapped within Nurse’s complex tactical framework – he has a lot of fun playing with his defensive options – he’s free to express himself. , did or said what he wanted.with the nails of OG Anunoby This season’s list is quite long, with James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Dejounte Murray and more.
and what about them Zipi and Zapealways holding hands and playing pranks, Jalen Brown He also ended up emancipating himself (9/22 shooting, 8 catches, 8 basket passes, but 22 goals). “It was back to back, it was cold, it was a hard track and it was necessary.” Al Horford…but no excuses. We showed what we are. ” Talking, Marcus Smart The secretary of the Tatum-Brown Association, who does what his two ‘bosses’ need him to do, scored more assists and more points last night (18 points 4/8 in triples and 7 assists) with his most-watched Trident teammates, opening the track for them. The Celtics are so perfect and harmonious that when Tatum and Brown can’t make the team shine, the team comes to the rescue. to make them shine Along with an example exhibited in Toronto.
The Raptors didn’t mess up. Jaylen Brown had to put up with it, but a double defense highlighted in the corner started to fall on Tatum. Anunobyboy who wants to take the position of “Best Defender” Taught Marcus Smart that he also knew how to surf on screen, even though he got two in a row. I was tired of putting resources on the table, such as curling moves. Blake Griffin Among the solutions, impeccable 13 points (5/6 shooting), 8 rebounds, 2 assists.
“91”, headlines in Al Horford’s absence Robert Williams He’s still out there, daring to live between his very different present and his illustrious past, fulfilling his current role as a role player, rebounding, passing, and defending as well as his excellent He boldly performed the “forgotten” art of dunking. A tribute to the “vintage” Griffin.
Mazura wanted to defend against one of the Raptors in a very physical starting lineup against something terrifying. Grant Williams Besides Griffin. Although Boston scored points in transition, he was able to survive in part because he was able to hold his 5-5 for the Canadian team on multiple occasions. in his success Fred VanVleet Encourages a mid-range shot after a direct block.Base finished with 8 points and dreadful, not knowing how to follow the other way beyond launch 3/14 on a field goal This explained his -12, the worst plus-minus on the team.
and enter the scene Pascal Siakam -29 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists- He hit everything in the paint and showed his face as a point guard and center as the main manager and center at the same time. It’s a reliable mid-range shot, and it’s reckless even if you take it around. And when switching on the pick-and-roll, as Boston has done on many plays, Siakam often comes out on top.The Raptors tried to strike often “Little” players in the post And ‘Center’ and Anunoby (13 points) managed to appease the break on multiple occasions.they accompanied them Gary Trent Jr.(20 points) and Scotty Burns (twenty one).
But the Celtics, showing one of their candidacy’s strengths, were able to escape the spiral of missed shots and losses that would see the Raptors consistently leading their opponents at home.A defense as oppressive as Starr’s Canadian franchise often requires them to live off the ball, and that’s what Tatum has put in, demonstrating his skills as an executor. “Catch and Shooter” or exit pick and roll As a follower of his teammates, he made the court more open with better “spacing” and played a scoring role (11 points in the second half), as well as a split with Grant Williams as a triple shooter with his penetrating ability. Did.Tatum as a focus he did what he wanted.
It also helped a lot when the Raptors went down on offense, with Siakam doing everything and insisting on starting and finishing plays. I already knew that because I closed the road to the basket with an assist to record the . boston, The best defense in the NBA last year, It denatures a man who reads basketball with the grit of a Cameroonian who didn’t look beyond the hoop even though his teammate was released on the perimeter. 80-93 In the third quarter, he went inside five with 1:19 remaining without completing a recovery (108-113).
“What’s the improvement in Division 2? The players trust each other a lot and the communication is constant,” the Celtics coach said quietly. Joe Mazzura, after the game, he knew what button to press, as if his protégés were the best offense in NBA history in this perfect machine that Boston is. “Our numbers in attack learn The number of players compared to last year,” Mazura replied, explaining his team’s brutal attacking performance. They are learning very quickly. Too many rivals.

Jokic may lose his chance to compete for NBA MVP award
Denver Nuggets announced Nikola Jokic He will miss at least four weeks due to left knee hyperextension.
The Serb is expected to miss all 18 matches in January and his maximum appearances this season could be limited to 64 matches. So Jokic will lose the opportunity to compete for the NBA’s main prizes – MVP and inclusion in the All-NBA, as this requires playing at least 65 games in the regular season.
Theoretically, he could return for the January 31 game against the Brooklyn Nets, which would give Nikola the opportunity to play 65 games before the end of the season, but that scenario is unlikely.
Jokic was injured in the last seconds of the first half of the match against Miami Heat (123:147) and did not return to the field after a long break. Before his injury, he managed to score 21 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds in just 19 minutes.
Jokic averaged 29.9 points, 12.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game this season.

Cherkasy Mavp Captain: “I am not very happy with the team’s result”
Leader and captain of “Cherkasy Mavp” Kirill Marchenko summarized the first part of the season for the team.
– Kirill, the team has entrusted you with the captain’s armband. What does this mean to you and when did you learn about this decision?
– First of all, it is responsibility and, to some extent, experience. I learned that at the first training after the departure of Andrei Agafonov, the coach said that we need a new captain. The men chose me.
I won’t hide it, I was ready for this. I had a feeling that I would now be the captain of the team.
– Agafonov was a very strong leader both on the field and in the locker room. Which of his approaches and principles would you like to bring to your role as captain?
– Yes, indeed, Andrei was a very important figure in our team, on the field and in the locker room. I definitely think it’s discipline and professionalism.
– The first half of the season is over. How do you evaluate this period as a team?
– I’m not very happy with the team’s result. I know we are capable of doing more. Of course, Andrei’s dismissal had an impact, but this is not an excuse. We have to go out and do our job.
– There were a few games where the Mavps lost their advantage during the game. What do you think is still missing from the team to consistently win such matches?
– Yes, there were many matches where we lost while we were ahead with 2-3 minutes left in the match. I think I just lacked basic concentration, maybe a bit of luck.
– The team completed its campaign in the Ukrainian Cup after the first match. How painful was this relegation process for the players?
– Every lost game hurts. Of course, it was sad to be eliminated after the first match, we wanted to win and make it to the Final Four. “Hoverla” took its revenge last year. We beat them in the first game of the cup bubble in Cherkasy last season, maybe that was their additional motivation.
– The season is in full swing, but the New Year holidays are approaching. Can the team regroup a bit?
– I think we will have 2-3 days off to start again. Maybe someone will see family and friends. This is also important for morale.
