Never in doubt.

Brown for the obvious VC and Tatum can have a few goes too.

They were so bloody good tonight.

Agreed! Best part was the passing by Tatum/Brown. I legit thought we were watching the 2015-2016 Warriors with how good the ball movement was. No selfish plays at all

1 in a million. I'm not worried about Tat. None of this matters in the playoffs where he's been excellent time and time again. he'll raise the trophy and all will be forgiven! :pray: :pray:

This should have been a 20-point lead in the first half and they should have posted their way through the second half.

It reminded me of one of those Miami playoff games where there is absolutely no reason for us not to win the game and yet it’s a disaster

Jayson Tatum had 7 turnovers in game 6 of the 2022 ECF.

It’s a regular occurrence for him and Brown against handsy teams

you're making the wrong point, celts aren't good when he's on the bench! that's the problem this early season.

All-time record, not just this season.

I mean yeah it doesn’t happen 82 games a season.

But turnovers have continually been an issue with Tatum and Brown

hopefully, tat will miss few games like usual, but when he does let's hope history doesn't repeat itself this season. where's my salt so I can reverse your jinxes! :lol: :lol:

Ugly ugly W VS a JV squad.
15-4 is freaking awesome, but we ain’t winning #18 w our multitalented MVP playing so sloppily & stupidly, & w #7 thinking he is a #2.

Al, Derrick & Jrue won the game for us - with some excellent play by Pritch when it mattered & dead eye shooting again by Sam in the first half.

We need Zinger back.

I DNGAF about the stupid tournament.
Just play the right way & win as often as possible.

CELTICS!
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Al “Fountain of Youth” Horford does it again. He’s been amazing as of late. What a gamer.

White saving the Jays again in a tight game again. Why isn’t White leading the team in minutes when he has the highest net rating and clutch rating in the NBA?

Shoutout to PP for stepping up. He’s been playing way better lately.

2) Tatum just had a bad game, didn't get calls that he should have and got frustrated by turnovers. 1st tech was a ref being pissy, and Tatum let it get to him. Move on. He is still the best player on the team by far, and one of the top 3 best in the league.

Disagree. Tatum had an excellent game for 3 quarters, in spite of 7 dumb as*ed, avoidable turnovers and 2 stupid as*ed technicals. It concerns me more that he hasn't learned to lower his HIGH dribble, guys still swat it just like they did 3 years ago. Brown is also guilty of too HIGH a dribble. And Tatum doesn't recognize his angle relative to the defenders around him. That lack of self-awareness, and lack of optimal response, is the difference between a Finals Closer and a Finals Loser. Somebodies gotta get thru to him, that start teaching this stuff before 9th grade. He should know better, and not repeat the same mistakes. And too many Celtics make too many lazy passes. So many of their turnovers, including Tatums, are due to lack of concentration and not paying attention and responding appropriately. This is a coaching staff failure.

2) Give that man Derrick White his contraction extension 1st chance you get. Rock solid. ALWAYS.

...

5) JB just tries to do too much at times. His defense was top shelf in the 4th quarter though. He still needs to remember when his shot is not falling, to get to the line for points.

6) Game outlook changed as soon as Pritchard came in. Glad he is locked up under contract for a number of years.

7) Hauser needs to take more shots. I expect every time he shoots, it's going in.

Still got his 20 shots up despite the win. All is well.

20 FGA + 0 assist game from him is rarer than I thought. Just 10th of his career.
