Mad AI Skills...

Nobody cares bud, go back to pretending to have inside info, because your basketball takes are honestly just abysmal.

Last inside info I posted here was years ago when I said we are going made a trade with Orlando hours before the trade happened.
Tatum is still overrated and not a leader. Carmelo 2.0. Don't get too mad. Melo is top 10 in scoring in NBA history.

Okay sweetie lol, have a good night champ.

Sweetie? Is that Tatum's pet name for you. You can all each other than.

You keep on attacking people on the internet. You've been doing that for years here. And they made you a Mod. Good for you. Say a lot about this board. Not our current mods, but the person in charge.

[fallguy]

Wait - is there one single person in charge here?

Who is that person?

I would be great at being that person.

We'd go full thunder dome in here.

Tatum “We gotta be better” presser number 12. Such a pathetic number 1.

The Bucks lost a home game by 40 in their title run.

We do it every **** year.

Just more likely to happen to us since we play more playoff games than say the Bucks. If we lose in the 1st round every season that's only 2-3 home games per playoff, thus less chance of having a really bad loss.

There’s been plenty of elite contenders in NBA history who don’t **** the bed at home every season in the playoffs

Oof, homophobia? Cant say I’m surprised, based on your basketball takes.

There should 100% be a free for all anything goes thread, like the Raps board has, or used to have.

The only regular season game we lost and scored under 95 points was one of our final regular season games against Milwaukee, when we didn't play everyone long minutes.

We had that political thread that was good for awhile. I miss that too.

[Tyakack]

You know the Celtics lost when everyone is pissed at each other for no reason as if we were out there playing today.... SHAK, nice rebounding out there tonight btw.

[CelticsPride18]

Does Tatum plan to carry us at any this postseason

The gestapo put a stop to that.

People defending Tatum blaming role players etc completely missing the point.

Every title team needs a guy who can reliably get you buckets, even those last few Duncan Spurs teams had that.

Instead we’ve had Tatum shooting like dog **** all playoffs and barely exploding for points all season.

People say oh it doesn’t matter anyone can beat the other team.

Absolute BS. We saw tonight what will happen time and time again with that nonsense attitude and Tatum struggling to make shots.

The offence completely shrivels up. They start throwing up bad shots.

When the game was screaming out for a killer Donovan Mitchell answered and put the game out of reach in the third. Meanwhile Tatum was either bricking shots or standing in the corner while Derrick Ahite jacked threes like he was Steph Curry.

There is simply a lack of killer instinct and basketball brains when it comes to Tatum. He’s soft.

It has shown up time and time again this season in the bad losses we’ve seen. In both Denver games he was a complete embarrassment when the game was screaming out for him to take over.

We almost got sent home last season by Philly because of it.

He’s not entirely the reason we lost at all, but he shooting 40% isn’t going to cut it.

There has been something off about him all season.

Lol. Missed rookie JT. That guy was fearless. This version is hard to watch. Its like you have no confidence he’ll make shots. and tf with those euros? Its ok to do that to avoid defenders, but he needs to take it strong at times.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

One of the best things about being a Celtics fan is how much fans of other teams hate the Celtics and their fans.

On the General Board, Jayson Tatum is being compared to Tobias Harris or maybe it’s the Celtics forum? I’m getting confused

If you ask me, the biggest mistake JT and Celtics have made is to be so damn consistently good for years and to follow it up with an all-time regular season. Combine it with the history of the Celtics and a large portion of the fan base are almost entitled with their expectations.

If people want to have those expectations that's up to them, but nobody has promised we'd never lose games or that when we win it will be in dominant fashion while somehow having a perfect record in the clutch. If people want to expect JT to play the right way while challenging double and triple teams to the basket then that's up to them, but if they have thought he is soft for all these years then I don't understand why they expect him not to be now.

People can do what they want and can criticize whoever they want from the anonymous comfort of their home and I won't care too much, but expectations have really gotten way of control IMO.

Spoiler:

I do not think JT is soft, he is an amazing all round player who has improved every year and become a good, albeit not yet natural, playmaker. He has faults like anyone and sometimes it appears mental approach, but overall is amazing and we're lucky to have him.

Fluke game. Until proven otherwise. Please prove it's a fluke, Cs. Cleveland might be a tougher place to play in than Miami. Deep in the Q gonna be rockin.

Even bubble Tatum was better to watch.

Used to try dunk on everyone.

If I was coaching him I’d threaten to bench his bitch ass everytime he cries for a foul.

[flintsky21]

Maybe JT just isn't that guy.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Everything starts and ends with this team on offence.

When their offence is clicking they lock in defensively.

They put in pathetic efforts defensively when they’re bricking shots.

[Bostondave]

Gotta agree with ^^^. But I would extend it to include the team, and coaching. You simply have to do something when the 3 aint dropping. How do you lose by 20+ at home? Me myself I have no confidence in this team whatsoever. You never know what you're going to get. Ever.
