This will happen in the playoffs.

That's why this happening right now is a reminder that the Cs still need to get better in late game execution.

When you lose like this, there's glaring issues that need to be fixed before we win a title. I'm very sorry you and others just can't seem to see that. This has nothing to do with getting a loss. It's how they lost, it's absolutely concerning.

I'm as optimistic as they come team-wise(other than Joe) but dude you can't deny this team has horrendous execution down the stretch.

This is a good loss.

Reminds them they're not there yet.

And this is why no one trusts these Celtics.

And depending on a 40 year old to rebound because 7'4" Popsicle Stick gets pushed around in the paint by anyone over 240lbs isn't going to cut it in the postseason.

You think they'll actually care? The rest of these games don't even matter in the standings. They won't learn anything.

Dumb loss

Oh look at me, look at me. I have the best record in the NBA ans already clinched a playoff spot. Guess what that doesn’t mean s*** when you can’t beat a bottom feeder after being up 30.

They did this against the cavs not so long ago. Wish I could say this is a learning moment.

Is calling timely timeouts and not running 100000 ISO's in a row a lot to ask for from a coach?

Totally agree.

We need to blow this team up and you and I have said it all season mate.

Can’t believe people saw the 20-3 in the last 23 games and didn’t think we were a first round exit.

I mean is it a question of not believing in your stars if they run regular plays with ball movement? They need to get better looks, the Jays aren’t Kobe.

Yeah, some fans think we are invisible and a lost like these are normal sometimes. We choke like this in the playoffs, we are ****.

2008 team could execute, Rivers playbook puts Joey to shame….. yes our stars tighten up when the games close but having a clueless coach and running Iso after Iso is a problem

These guys are not as emotional as Marcus Smart.

You think they don't care?

This hurts.

They will just pretend it doesn't.

If these guys don't care, they won't work hard to improve.

The Jays have been working hard every season to improve.

This is just one of those obstacles they have to overcome.

Tatum scored 36 , but he was not good in the 4th quarter.

The problem is, the Cavs are a much better team than these Hawks.

This X 100.

In the playoffs there will be many close games. What we run when It counts is what will really matter. Not this regular season Net rating shet.

Tatum + Brown will be led by a coach, when it matters most, will be either spineless or clueless or both.

But hey Net rating and regular season records > when it matters most to some in here.
