That's game.

I appreciate the fighting spirit the C's displayed down the stretch though. They got screwed by some terrible calls (Tatum charge on a fast break, calling a foul on the Time Lord seal), and Smart just couldn't hit that open three to tie the game.

Once again, someone out of our big three is left out in the cold shooting-wise, Kemba this time. Something really needs to change.

In addition to the charge call on Tatum that could have been called a block with FTs

Tell us something we don’t know.

We don’t have enough talent.

Celtics competed. Just not as good as Jazz. Flat out. I will say it's not as far as some think. Danny adds some talent and Celtics can compete with most teams

Neither was I.

Just sucks as this was a very winnable game.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

This team is going nowhere with the types of shots they take. It's just impossible.

Rob is a magnet for good things happening.
The most charitable interpretation is that it's ethnic cleansing and massive war crimes.

Tatum needed more shots in the 4th. Simple as that.

Donovan Mitchell the last 5 minutes of close games has a 38% TS, 30% in the last 3 minutes

Tatum in the last 5 minutes of close games has a 62% TS, and 65% in the last 3 minutes.

The issue is Tatum is the only guy who can do anything for us late in games.

We aren’t a good passing team. That’s why we need a Lonzo or Rondo on this team

Well.
This game is over.

We needed to stay up on them, down the stretch.
