I'm glad I get to be a Celtics fan because if yall are this wild over an excellent team, I can only imagine how bad it is for fans of sucky teams.

Dumb challenge

Tatum clear out at top of key is trash. Use him closer to the rim in triple threat like Kobe / MJ . He Doesn't blow by people but can rise up over nearly anyone and obviously get a fade away off.

Maybe Tatum should start diving to the floor like Embiid to protect that ankle.

I agree it's not the best play we have but we got like 9 points out of it.

Jrue and JB gotta step up their play. OKC came out with purpose.

Derrick White got a good rest and we are down only 2 I’ll take it. Tatum got aggressive the last 3 minutes which is what I want to see. Need brown and Jrue to be better. Gotta grab the boards

Why are people freaking out about the first quarter? It wasn’t that good but wasn’t terrible.

Green89 · Post #176 » by **Green89** » Wed Jan 3, 2024 1:39 am

They played a near perfect quarter and we are only down 2, with D. White missing a lot of it.

Short lease. PTSD. However you want to call it. We need sustained team play from him.

I think we scored 3-4 possessions when we ran a Tatum pick at the top.
