off game for tatum. horford and richardson out.

clearly the knicks had momentum and played with a ton of energy and execution playing in front of their home crowd that was going nuts all game.

if this was in boston, we win, no question in my mind.

still, we missed 3 layups in double OT and if at least 2 of those 3 shots go in, we win

Brad better find a way to upgrade because losing Fournier to the Knicks for nothing really weakened the Celts' shooting.

I'd rather the Celts kept Fournier instead of having Schroder and Richardson.

I hate those fly out contests. I hate them so much. Schroder is so dumb.

Everybody does this lol. Still getting mad about it in 2021 is pointless.

Absolute lucky game by him

On the Knicks he is top 2 option. He wouldn't do that with Boston..

brown missed that dunk but he still should have taken that 3, make or miss. he was wide-open too but he would have been called selfish if he missed that, even if the option was pass to schroder.

If not for nothing, I’m open to change my stance on Grant Williams.

Unfortunate game for Jayson, that won’t be standard so I’m not losing sleep over it.

The Jays and Smart also let him open in a few possessions. Defense was bad all around after the first half.

being professional is shaking hands.

having a huge smile on your face while you hug the other team after they just beat you is a whole different story

Payton Pritchard has to get playing time.

He's just too good to be just sitting on the bench.

I don't know how this season is going to progress, but the Celts can't keep both Smart and Schroder.

There's just not enough shooting if both Smart and Schroder are on the court at the same time.

The worst part of tonight was knowing we could snd should have kept Fournier . But cheap ass wyc would rather save a few bucks than have a better team

Well then maybe you shouldn’t take 30 shots and 15 threes and find other ways to help the team win like playing defense.

Hell of a game. Love Jaylen. Shoutout to coach Udoka. First Igbo/Nigerian coach in the league. Igbo man myself.

really? everybody?

every single player in the NBA gives a huge hug to opposing team with a huge smile on their face immediately after the game ends after every loss?

Really?

Dang you got that whole 90s vibe about you Hal.
I like it 8-)

I was hoping grant would go in instead if schroder. The missed layup plus the fly by really hurt. Its going to be a long year
