NBA analyst points out that the Boston Celtics’ recent loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers serves as a stark reminder of the competitiveness of the playoffs.
Despite entering as favorites with a talented lineup and top seed, they were convincingly defeated 118-84.
"Derrick White's been the best player on the Boston Celtics in the playoffs and at some point that's gonna have to become Jayson Tatum if they're gonna get where they want to go."

The focus is on Jayson Tatum, who, despite scoring 25 points in the game, struggled with inconsistency, shooting below 50% in both games of the series so far.
Analysts emphasize the importance of Tatum stepping up his game, highlighting Derrick White’s standout performance for the Celtics and stressing that Tatum needs to reclaim his dominant role for the team’s success.
With Game 3 approaching, the Celtics are hopeful Tatum will break out of his slump to steer them back on course and halt the Cavaliers’ momentum.
