Tatum played well outside the shooting of course…which of course is not a small thing but it isn’t the only thing.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that Harden, Embiid, & Tatum are all having a choke off in what's essentially a must-win game for both teams.

Jayson Tatum is just horrible. According to a lot of people, he's a top 5 player in the NBA, but yet he has awful performances like this one. 0-10 from the field inexcusable for someone who's supposedly a superstar.

A superstar should step up when it matters the most, yes?

Tatum is having a bad series but he is still miles better than Jaylen Brown

We gotta be honest here, Jayson has been awful the last three games. If the Celtics lose, he's going to take the brunt of the criticism, as will the coach.

Yeah I'm starting to lean that way. Just from the playoffs coaching so far, including this game despite the lead. What's your particular beef with him?

Tatum is the weak link, fam, and you know it's true,

Jaylen Brown deserves a better Robin :lol:!

Feels like Miami going to the finals - neither team is actually good… or this is the best defense ever

Tatum is a true Duke product, in that a never reliable super star

What do you mean “that”

Literally every Celtics fan thinks he’s a bad coach :lol:

I think he's fallen out of top 5 player for many. Embiid, Joker, Steph, Luka, Giannis are ahead of him.

I don't see how the celtics lose this game. Tatum playing this poorly and boston still up with a comfortable lead.

Is the box score right? Tatum is 0-10 at halftime in an elimination game? This is embarrassing for a player of his caliber.
