I'm wondering if this is the most pathetic 5 point lead.I've ever seen in the playoffs for us.. Or for any team...

Like I keep saying, this bunch of Celtics really love to piss off Celtic fans.

Tatum walks with the ball someone tries to send two at Tatum, gives the ball to Horford only to brick. Can we play faster move the ball side to side? Or is this team just that lazy

..while also letting Morris hit every three. This is why you don’t want to let guys ger comfy early. Simple cause and effect.

Last years team would lose this game. Let’s see if this team is really ‘built different’ like some say. Just awful, awful performance and effort. Awful.

Team just has a lack of focus. Coaching is a serious issue.

Marcus Morris can't keep hitting threes.

A loss here means we're not serious about winning a title. And please don't compare what Ant/Wolves or Nuggets are going through with our situation in the East.

This is what happens every **** time when you play with zero energy the first 6-7 minutes of the game. No fire from this squad early

Pretenders not contenders.

Barkley is wrong alot but one comment he made earlier this year is that no one on this team plays mean. And he's right on that.

Outside of Horford late in the second quarter, where's the urgency?

Was it the lack of our offense or our defense that gave you that feeling??

or both..

If Mobley is doing this to us, imagine Jokic…

And that's why we won't win a chip unless that changes, neither Joe nor Ime before him had the balls to call out our stars for their ISO centric style. We even got the roleplayers for a great offense, spot up shooters and willing passers, yet we have 14 seconds dribbling and hoping something will open up.

DWhite was so good in the first half, and I don't remember him doing anything in the third. Odd. Mobley wrecked Kornet.
