Every favorite to win the title lost BTW. Just a little perspective. I'm just as mad as all of you but let's not go full blown stupid over 1 loss.

All though I agree last night sucked, that is plenty of time to cut into a 20 point lead.

Biggest blown Playoff lead for the C’s that late into a game since 1997. Embarrassing

The offense will be predictable without an inside presence.


KP has never been an inside presence on offense.

Come on, I know he's not Shaq in the paint, but he's an inside presence in his own way.

Way better than Al getting the ball in the paint and Al just kicking it back out to the 3pt line.

Read on Twitter

He said he deserved to be recognized as an All-NBA defender though. Reminds me of the gamble he took vs. Philly and Harden made the corner three or the miscue vs. TOR that got OG the buzzer beater in the bubble.

Even though the Celts disposed of Magic in 5 games, they forgot about the importance of the mid range game when it came to this series. Brown is usually money from that range but fell in love with the 3. And Tatum is not quite as lethal as Brown from the mid range, but fell into the same trap as Brown. This is stuff basketball players learn early in life. If something ain't falling, try something else to get you and the team going. And whatever Drew Hanlen works with Tatum over every summer, color me unimpressed.

That was my impression too, after Orlando (and a 20 pt lead) they felt 'free' and just chucked. Analysis may say they were open, but they were not in any sort of rhythm

TBH most of us thought it was a 5 game series. They always have these let down games and then come back under Joe. They probably win by double digits tonight.

Yeah, this is the only time it happens and certainly only to JB. Was it terrible? Absolutely! Why is it only called out when it’s him?

Could have had a few of this videos on our best defenders, but like everything, they are smart, it never matters. :lol:
