Jayson Tatum said in order for him to break into the frontcourt starter group, he thinks the team needs to win more and get back to a top seed.
Asked what needs to change for that to happen, Tatum said “Keep getting better. Take every game seriously. Work at it every day.” – 11:53 AM

There are some tough calls on East A-S reserves. I’d say LaVine, Tatum, Harden are in for sure. Butler, Jaylen Brown, Garland, Middleton, VanVleet or Siakam, LaMelo or Bridges all have strong cases. #NBA – 6:39 PM
