Jayson Tatum has to be better for Celtics to (finally) bury the Raptors!!!

  Jayson Tatum has to be better for Celtics to (finally) bury the Raptors!!! Jayson Tatum has to be better.  No, that doesn’t mean more points than the 29 he dropped on Toronto in Boston’s 125-122 double overtime loss.  That doesn’t mean he has to be a bigger beast on the boards than he was in Game 6 when he grabbed 14 rebounds along with dishing out nine assists.  Those are all good numbers, for sure. But he has to be better.  Why?  Because Toronto is too mentally tough to just fold and go away without Boston’s best player getting the better of them and winning that basketball fight. Tatum has to be the series grave-digger if the Celtics are going to finally bury the Raptors.
