Celtics are SHOOK right now. They can't believe Tatum was IMPOTENT in the clutch moments.

Mikal had us fooled for a moment, during that scoring run with the Nets, he was looking like a mini KD.

Harlan didn't even start calling that Bridges steal until it was at half court. I am actually not mad at Reggie for speaking up. Someone had to.

This loss would be on Mazzola too. He should've calmed this team down

Someone has to score on a tanking team. That shouldn't have fooled anyone.

Knicks fans, please forgive my ignorance, I thought this was going to be a cakewalk for the Celtics, boy was I so wrong.

Boston looks like they're playing give it to a star and watch them create offense.

lazy coaching, get the ball moving and the defensing guessing.

Neither team deserves to win this game. Horrible bb on both ends.

At what point do the Celtics realize they need to attack the basket?

This game would have been over so long ago if they weren’t so focused on only shooting 3s.

How are they not reviewing it?

I never believe guys who are leading scorers of tanking teams. Someone had to score. It's not talent.
