Read on Twitter

As bad as we played in the 1st quarter, they somehow topped it in the 2nd. The starters dug this hole. -15/-17 across the board except for Jrue.

[The Corey's]

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

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

League history*

[GoGreen]

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.

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.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.

Bumstin Reaves isn't going to shoot 80% from logo threes. We good.

[The Corey's]

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.

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

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

The only thing that needs to be quantified is wins. 5 to 0 is a pretty big deal.

[Riverwalk2021]

Perk was right, the bird would fly backward.

[TheMartian]

Whoever said we play down to opponents is correct. Don't really care about our record against sub-.500 teams. This is pure utter garbage effort and attitude.

Present! Sorry, just back reading.

[PierceFan4ever]

Guys.

72 win bulls lost to the raptors.

Chill.


I am interested to see how they come out if halftime

They also won championship in 91 92 93 . Celtics didn’t.

Michael Jordan ain’t walking through this door

[Jaqua92]

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.

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.

Tatum shoots like 73% in the restricted area.


He's just soft

Prime Kobe was taking 9-10 FTs a game cuz he was very aggressive. You fail to see my point.

[BK_2020]

Good job Jaylen. The Lakers appreciate you.

[zoyathedestroya]

What a dumb foul by JB

[Bleedsgreen]

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

If you can call getting terrible tattoos keeping yourself clean.

Exactly!
He gathers the ball early on the dribble, and has nothing left but to euro step to the basket. No lift at all. That’s why he gets blockef easily. Also he doesn’t have the ability of a luka or even antman to finush around the basket. He just throws the ball up and complains at the refs.

[PierceFan4ever]

I’m so tired of Jaylen Brown playing like a dumbass

It was a lot harder to score back then compared to now

[Romeiro Celtic]

So we're losing ugly to Lakers team without both Lebron and AD? Embarassing...

[Jakeopp]

Jaylen Brown was a mistake. Should have been Murray.

They need like 5 minutes of good basketball to win this game. Lakers suck.
