The Boston Celtics fell to 0-2 in their Eastern Conference Semifinal series vs. the New York Knicks and Dan is starting to have real doubts about their ability to defend their title. He is concerned that their superstar Jayson Tatum just doesn’t have the killer instinct needed to carry his team and perform when the chips are down.
Dan Patrick: “(The Celtics) got a deep team. It’s loaded. You got experience. You got two really good players in (Jaylen) Brown and (Jayson) Tatum. You got role players. You got everything you need. You have home court advantage. You got everything but that clutch gene…And I’m waiting for Jayson Tatum. We want Jayson Tatum to be a star. It feels like the media, advertisers, like, ‘We gotta, I mean this guy, we’re gonna make him a star! He’s going to do commercials.’ But is he a star? Is he a killer? Is he just a really good player?”
