The Celtics are up 2-0 on the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 2020 playoffs. All signs point toward Boston winning this series easily, especially considering how dominant Jayson Tatum has been.
Tatum scored 32 points in Game 1. He followed that up with 33 points in Game 2. The Sixers have zero answers for the scoring forward.
It's a good thing Celtics general manager Danny Ainge never traded Tatum for some of the superstars who have requested trades in the past couple of seasons such as Jimmy Butler, Paul George and Anthony Davis.
