Nah...Tatum was laughing while Jaylen was pissed.


Didn't see that, but Brown's back was to the camera. Mr. Softee was definitely smirking though.

Cs will win Game 3.

The question is Game 4.

Everyone said that about game 2

Maybe the others, but I really didn't say much about Game 2 because I was worried, especially when I saw that post of zoya saying no defending champ has gone past the 2nd round since 2020.

The biggest chance the Cs lose this series is if NY goes up 2-0 and NY did just that.

He literally just said it in his press conference their airing on NBC Sports Boston.

I wish I was joking.


He's utterly useless.

Tatum is not reliable as a number one option. Running it back with this team cannot happen next year. Brad needs to offer Cookies & Cream for the Greek Freak.

People need to stop with the dumb narrative that the Celtics can just win with Tatum and some good role players. Tatum just isn’t that guy.

Joe underperformed in every series in his first year, and we're probably getting ousted in this series, too, as the defending champions in a huge upset. I thought the injuries were going to catch up with us anyway, but we need a new coach who's not a one-trick pony.

It probably is dawning on him that he'll most likely be fired after this series if we lose.

I’m telling you right now that locker room is over KP and it has spilled onto the court.

He will definitely not be a Celtic next season.

Joe should be fired if we get eliminated by the Knicks. This team is mentally and physically soft. We do nothing but chucking 3s on the offense. We never call timely timeouts. These are all on Mazzulla. Get rid of him if we fall to this Knicks team.

I was right about this team all season. Very unlikeable. They had alot of terrible shooting performances as well. It’s like they don’t know how to shoot. Even when they’re opened. This group migjt have a won a title but they’re unforgettable. Tatum has really ruined his reputation even more as a player.

Tatum had the worst body language I’ve seen right from the tip.

We f’d up one game and then watched the same exact one unfold.

We’re toast.

But better to get it out of the way early and blow it up. Glad we got one

Get real. Let’s see them win a game first. If this team goes away quietly they need to do something drastic in the off-season. These losers have no heart and toughness. Look at the warriors with that championship pedigree even older yet competing tough out there.

It's tough because it's clear you cannot pay two players in the NBA $50M per season going forward. I do think they need a better coach that forces the team to play a more disciplined style. I think KP is gone and so is Mazzulla, and they hope improved coaching results in a better disciplined team.
