Tatum was the best player on the floor tonight, but got no respect from the referees. Harden hit some timely shots and got carried away by his ref friends a few times. Let's not overreact.

We are the better the team and will smoke this 76ers in 6 at worst.

Tatum was really good.

Brown, after a great 1st quarter, disappeared.

Smart was bad for the 1st 3 quarters outside of about 4 nice passes, then came on in the 4th quarter.
His defense sucked like the rest of the team.

White had a really bad game for the first time in months.

Rob still can't jump and people think he is healthy.

Brogdon was good.

Al was good on defense.

Joe was horrendous and has been average at best all playoffs.

This hurts the chances of Celtics winning this series. Never a good sign to lose a game 1, at home.

It’s the defense and yes it is a concern from day 1. Don’t even mention, smoke or blow them out dude cause this aint last year Celtics. Enjoy 4 more games.

It’s so hard to like this team.the players are all good guys so it’s not like we have a locker full of Dillom Brooks’s but the lack of focus and discipline and the blown leads in the 4th erodes any confidence I have. The only consistent thing is that you know they will make it as hard on themselves as they possibly can. They can play beautiful badketball for 2 quarters then disappear for the rest of the game. We need thatbone guy who holds everyone else accountable. Tatum talks like he’s that guy but he isn’t. If he had Butler’s heart we’d be undefeated in the playoffs
"Now, there's a steal by Bird..!"
