How can anyone have any kind of trust/faith in these Celtics?

By the way, whenever it comes up here or in the media, anyone who compares Tatum to Bird in any way, should lose all credibility.

Bird had guts and an undenible will to win. Tatum possesses none of that.

Flagrant is a little excessive for something like that.

*Those* have never been right about this team.

They'll be in the finals this year, and they'll win a championship, but they're not getting it done this year. Mentally, still not ready.

How many more years you need? Mentally not ready? That just means Mentally not capable.

We should use JB in trade to bring in some real talent. If we can find some team idiot enough to take him, that is.

Best record in the league, most talented team, but are absolutely frauds come playoff time. They’ll get dogged by any of the top teams out west. The east is weak but teams like the Knicks will make them work

It's a bit depressing watching guys like Booker, Embiid, KAT, and Luka drop 60+ when Tatum hasn't even seen 50 since last season.


I honestly don't care if JT ever scores 50 again. I just want the Celtics to win every game.

Giannis is probably asking out after this season.

Why is Tatum and Brown all stars again? Joe is saying to himself, "damn, 3's not falling for us tonight that's why we lost", lol. Uhh, do you have any other offense in your playbook?

The Lakers caught fire and the Celtics couldn't respond.

It's still an aberration as the Lakers are not this good from beyond the arc.

But we gave them life when we started lackadaisically, and their confidence kept growing and growing and growing. It’s our fault.

True.

One of the worst losses of the season for the Cs.

Tatum is mentally weak. Man spirals down bad when things go bad. Every part of his game goes to crap. Not a real superstar

Starters should've just sat. Disgusting performance.
