Doing nothing but shooting 3s on a team with zero interior defense

[Bill Lumbergh]

As talented as Tatum is, I don't think you can really call him a dog, as the kids say.

[zoyathedestroya]

The fact is, we've been surpassed since the turn of the calendar. There are a number of teams playing better basketball than us right now

Cavs, Knicks, and Clippers for sure.

[GrandTheftRondo]

I get tired of Tatum not being a stud.

People keep saying he’s coasting though.

Sorry but I don’t want a 25 year old guy who should be hitting his prime playing half arsed basketball like he’s a 38 year old LeBron waiting for the playoffs to start.

It’s about building good habits. The dumb turnovers, soft layups and bad 3s from him constantly show up in the playoffs after he does them all regular season.

Show the **** up Jayson.

[Triple7]

Tatum should be embarrassed! He missed tons of layups with his weak ass euro stepping moves, and gets blocked easily because of that. Still avoids contact. He should learn to use the board properly.

[Jaqua92]

Our halftime show is some lady wearing garbage bags. Is she famous or something? We have the worst halftime shows in the league.

I went to the Denver game, and the halftime show was this 22 year old kid, violin star, pretending to play along to his song, which was blaring in the garden. There was no microphone, no nothing. A studio version of his hip hop violin song boomed through the PA while he pranced around with his prop violin.

It was absolutely pathetic

Basically how we lost against the Pacers IST and against the Nuggets.

Doing nothing but shooting 3s on a team with zero interior defense

They have two to three really long athletic players on at any given time, including Vanderbilt who is a 6'8 guy with really long arms who's in the NBA solely for his defense.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Chuck PREACHING!

[Jaqua92]

Tell em Chuck. "They win games on talent Earnie, they don't win on toughness and defense" "unless Brown and Tatum get tough..."


We're frauds. We will be in the finals, but people are lying to themselves if they think they're beating Denver.

[OnlyTheTruth]

Tatum is overrated by many and labeled as this Tier 1 Superstar. He is not.

[Shak_Celts]

Out of town and busy, but still watching a little. Terrible. Defense is TURRIBLE. Uninspired and terrible.

Terrible.

[GrandTheftRondo]

The defence is the biggest problem.

We are making all sorts of bizarre decisions defensively against a team with offensive liabilities out there on every possession.

[PierceFan4ever]

I get tired of Tatum not being a stud.

Tatum hasn’t been consistently dominant like last season. Takes too many plays off. Shys away when he’s struggling and doesn’t attack enough when he needs to.

Yeah I remember that one. That might have been the worst halftime show I've ever seen. Wyc really cheap with these shows.

It's the careless drives to the bucket that piss me off.

It's who he is.

[GoGreen]

What can you say, just pathetic. Crap like this is why I don't watch this team as much these days. Tatum lead Celtics are the most low energy Cs team I've EVER seen.

[canman1971]

60pts given up to a JV team. I don’t care if they come back or not because they aren’t winning s*** this year regardless.

This level of overreaction is embarrassing

Your lack of adding anything to the conversation is what’s embarrassing as well as the Celtics play tonight.

Denver barely beat us though, it’s not like we got blown out.
