Celtics could have the most efficient offense in NBA history if 3rd Qs didn't exist.

Be careful with this type of statements. The cult is lurking.

That was an ideal 2-for-1. JB just missed the corner three.

Actually the bigger problem by far is hero ball against the good teams. Who cares about bad teams you won't see in the playoffs?

That was a better end of quarter play initiated by DWhite. JB just missed.

Tatum owes us a big game against Mavs tomorrow. This is probably his worst game of the season.

Tatum is playing like Harden trying to force his way off a team. Okay, slight hyperbole, but he's been playing like ass.

I think they're connected. Consistency in approach/mindset. When Cs are up big against the good teams, we tend to relax instead of continuing to play the right way regardless of score. I think we gave away at least 3 games in last postseason cos of this.
