Rigged. The refs were the difference. Someone needs to do something about Marc Davis.

Any Team can Win, Any Night.
They're ALL Professionals.
We took them too much for granted.
And Lost.

Why does Joe always play two bigs and play into the hands of other teams?

This game was lost in the 3rd quarter. Celtics had a 15 point lead at halftime and then came out lackadaisical as always and the game was tied after 3 quarters.

This is crap
I hope the players feel disgusted as we are right now
And a bad coaching game with no adjustments or stopping the bleeding

Jaylen, c'mon man. Terrible off ball defense there. Overhelped which left Da Silva open for the 3.
If he stays home there like he's supposed to do, we probably get the stop and then possibly the bucket to win the game on the other end.
When will he learn? It's so many times now where he's messed up in off ball D, ugh..

Celtics defense let up 22 points, 21 points in the first two quarters. Celtics came out lackadaisical and let up 36 points in the 3rd quarter. Game over

Still should not be getting punked by this team who’s missing two of their best players.
Yeah, but the NBA is a league of the best of the best.
If you don't take games seriously you're going to lose.
This game for example, there was no news about JT missing this game.
But just before tip-off, they said JT wouldn't play.
I know the Celtics are managing the players to keep them healthy and it will payoff later in the season, but their going to lose games because of that.

What about the games we win? We win way more of them than we lose..he must be doing something right.
And what about all the times we go single big, with Tatum at the 4?
Hard to go single big in a game where Tatum is out.

JTs skills and leadership were missed this game. As skilled and driven JB is, I think his leadership on court is not as strong as JTs.

Rooting for him. He does that, we likely win this game too.
NARRATOR: Tatum failed to make the mark. Better luck next time, JT.
