What’s the buzz on Twitter?

I think the Tatum narrative is mostly ridiculous, but it’s still kind of cool to see Bob Cousy defending him.
Dude is 96. His career started 70+ years ago. Imagine if like Dwight Eisenhower was still around and just defending Biden and shit. It’s just sort of neat. – 3:38 PM
John Gonzalez @JohnGonzalez
sure the Celtics won another title. But Jayson Tatum getting the Haliburton treatment at the Olympics — followed by his mom and dad complaining about his coach and playing time on Twitter — almost makes up for it – 3:27 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Jayson Tatum is awesome and could help Team USA.
All 12 Team USA players are awesome and can help them win.
If only 10 are playing, someone awesome is getting held out. When everyone is awesome you can be choosy on matchups.
Kerr is right. It’s just math. Not an embarrassment. – 2:44 PM

Steve Kerr went with his best lineup when Team USA needed it most, and hopefully we see more of that Curry-Book-LeBron-KD-Embiid group in the gold medal game

Notebook: Kerr says Tatum’s minutes at Paris Olympics come down to a mathematical logjam. Also … KD’s pursuit of history, the Olympic Celtics can join a rare club, scoring-leader roulette.

A great line from a Le Monde journalist to Steve Kerr, who tells him that for the home nation, playing this game against the U.S. for gold “is like playing the Super Bowl on top of Mount Everest.”
That seems big. – 7:10 AM

Jayson Tatum was once again a DNP-CD in a game where it felt like he could have helped. I’ve got reaction in my new @LOCeltics podcast, up early on YouTube.

USA’s Steve Kerr on win over Serbia: “Our coaches were saying Villanova-Georgetown for all of our older readers & viewers. [Serbia] played the perfect game. They forced us to reach the highest level of competition that we could find. Our guys were incredible in that 4th quarter.” – 6:05 PM

The Great Escape. The US will play for gold after rallying past Serbia. “They forced us to reach the highest level of competition that we could find. And our guys were incredible in that fourth quarter, and they got it done,” Steve Kerr said.

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
My biggest argument for Jayson Tatum – and this shouldn’t be an argument – is that you can play LeBron and Tatum and Steph and KD and Embiid and switch almost everything and you have the best point guard in the world to still run your offense – 5:41 PM

“Someone pls let me know is @jaytatum0 injured as he hasn’t received the PT ( playing time ) u would expect an All NBA player to get,” Vitale wrote. “No he not,” Cole replied. “But if you find out what’s going on please let me know – unacceptable and makes NO SENSE.” -via New York Post / August 9, 2024
Jayson Tatum has not played in two of the five U.S. games at the Paris Olympics, held out of both matchups against Serbia. And once again, U.S. coach Steve Kerr said Friday that it’s not an indictment of Tatum. “It’s not what I’m not seeing from Jayson. It’s what I’ve seen from the other guys,” Kerr said. “Like I’ve said many times during this tournament and this last six weeks, it’s just hard to play 11 people, even in an NBA game.” -via Associated Press / August 9, 2024
