Cs have the lead, that's why JT is settling for shots like that.

JT just loves to piss off Celtic fans.

Awesome 1 second 2 for 1...one of the dumbest shots in basketball.

It's the same as last game. Remember when he would just back guys down? Doesn't do that enough anymore.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

LOL Jaylen rarely seems to listen to the actual question in on-court interviews and just gives an answer about whatever he's thinking about. Not that I really blame him with everything going on and being tired, but it's funny.

I would be happy if they just don't ever go for a "2-for-1" again.

He realized too late there was a 2 for 1 and by the time he did shoot, there wasn't.

They tried to go iso on Pritchard there at the end. PP really dug in defensively to try and get the stop and prove that he can defend.

He passed the test - solid D on that play, forced Levert into a tough shot that he contested pretty well.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

That's cool that Peterson is already in Boston and on the bench with the team.

First month Tatum was mixing up his offense way more with more post play. He's for sure playing worse the last few weeks.

Any chance of Tatum attacking the hoop?

Even Brown is playing smarter than him recently

He went to the hoop all game. Missing his layups though.

Wouldn't it be nice if we actually start out hot in this third quarter? More likely our lead will evaporate...

ESPN needs to now post a graphic about the discrepancy between Jayson Tatum’s catch-and-shoot threes and pullup threes. Maybe they respond to public ridicule.

He’s so hesitant. Just make your move quick. Pass shoot or dribble.
