We discussed much of this on this morning's Celtics Reddit Podcast.
Here's the short version up front. There's been a trend now for a couple seasons where Boston is really good when Tatum is on the court and bad when he's off the court. Seems pretty obvious that lacking your best player would make you worse, right?
The on/off stats for Tatum have painted the picture for a while that the difference is significant. Last season per 100 possessions, Boston was +10.4 when Tatum was on the court. They were -0.
