It’s amazing how someone can put on so much weight and muscle and still finishes like an absolute bitch at the hoop.

I’d rather the slimmer version of Tatum with more athleticism if he’s not going to use his size properly.

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.


You’re a senior mod & reacting like a teenage girl would.

That’s embarrassing.

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.


He’s not coasting. He doesn’t like playing against teams that guard him with toughness and scrappy defenders. Him and the rest of this team. They are soft and passive like their leader.

Love the tnt guys going in on the Celtics, mainly Tatum and brown. But feels like too many times they’ve received this message but haven’t learned.

He barely gets touched and he slows down to a stand still. He's not a player with mamba mentality and never will be. Bring on the playoffs so we can see what these guys are made of.

Strange hill to die on tbh. Why defend this team for sleepwalking through a national TV game against the Lakers b-team? This should have been a 20+ point blowout in our favor.

Don't think I didn't notice Jaylen Browns pathetic dunk attempt at the end of the half either.

I just don't have it in me to bitch about Brown tonight

Always been the case. Last season we had no business going to 6 against a mediocre hawks team, going to 7 against the Sixers (won a game in Boston without Embiid), got embarrassed by the heat the first 3 games because they played with a lack of effort and energy until the impossible scenario occurred. Team wins off talent but doesn’t get down and dirty often

Good one. If you want to know how really would respond to you. Look at Larry David, but your parents probably won’t let you watch Curb, which makes them good parents because it’s not for children.

We just have to pull it together and send out some positive vibes. The Celtics need us. Let's not let them down.

Tatum is becoming one of my least favorite Celtics "superstars" ever. I appreciate that he keeps himself clean off the court but strictly talking about his game, I really, really don't like it. He doesn't play to his potential near enough

Okay, just tuned in. So, did I jinx this by saying this team plays down to their competition?

He chucks like Kobe but def does not attack like Kobe.

Jaylen brown needs like 5 seconds to gather up and dunk the ball….how on earth he misses so many wide open dunks I have no idea but this embarrassing for the highest paid player in the league

Prime Kobe shot like 10% worse at the rim than Tatum.
