Celts Climb Out of 1st Half Toilet, Avoid Getting Pist On! VC vs DET 12/28

[KillahGhostface]

Small sample but he hasn't done well in this particular scenario:

1 for his last 11 now.

If you look further down you'll see that he is doing pretty much as well as any other big name stars. It takes 2 - 3 extra seconds of reading.

The claim that he's one of the most clutch stars doesn't hold either way.

Late-game cheat code.

I’m not going to defend Tatum’s shot selection, it’s been poor, i’ve said as much. But let’s not be too in the moment lol, he’s hit a ton of huge shots. They just happen to be more from when we are behind. Obviously I’m just busting your basketballs here lol.

Zoya doesn't know what he's talking about. What has Tatum done the past 10 months?

Probably gotten another bad tattoo.

Might be a correlation there.

Do we have to have a VC after every win? Voted Zinger but one day we’ll all refuse to vote after a W lol

That at least explains some of the settling. Except for the games where his ankle is fine.

Honestly, I think it was a good bad win. A lot of teams would have folded after that first half, being the first game back after a west coast trip.

First half=horrid, atrocious, whatever. The rest was good stuff IMO, including the offense down the stretch again. They’ve figured out something with the White/Tatum/KP two and three man games. It’s creating a ton of open looks, without anybody overdribbling. Even if they don’t convert on all of them, that’s a sustainable crunch time playoff offense.

Can I open my eyes now???

How did we NOT lose that?
We gave them every opportunity.

Whew!!!

Mark of a great team.

Shot poorly and trailed big at the half and got clobbered on the boards the whole game.

But still ended up winning.

You do realize we played the worst team that has ever laced them up right? That was embarrassing. I give them credit for pulling out the win, but this is NOT the game to point to to use the phrase “great team”

Mark of a great team is even if you're not at your best, you still end up winning.

Best record in the NBA is an indication of being a great team.

Last season the Cs would have lost this game.

11-39 from 3…. Live and die by the three, hopefully were warm during the playoffs. Bubblegum Joe and his three ball mentality is hit or miss.

Um, they were able to beat the bad boy pistons tonight, even without hitting their threes.

Playoff ready.

[KillahGhostface]

Also, we saw Pritchard miss three three’s on one possession. Special stuff tonight, we’re lucky we got to watch.

[Triple7]

KP and White for the VC. Tatum with another cringe worthy shooting. I just can’t understand a player with his talent, continue to chuck 3’s non stop. 2/11???
That’s **** terrible. He’s almost unstoppable at the post, or when he tries to attack the basket. He should just try to post it up everytime and limit those dribble dribble pull ups. When he does that, i’m like shouting don’t you dare take that 3 lol. Good thing at least, he seems to trust KP and White more and more.

Wasnt in game thread. Did the usuals meltdown? Was annoyed I couldn’t get in FanDuel and take the Celtics on the money line at halftime. Lol.

Thought Tatum was stellar tonight.

Just shooting bad 3s.

Credit to them, they changed their approach in the 2nd half. Took 24 threes in the first half. Only 15 in 2nd half and OT. Felt like there was a more conscious effort of driving and getting the ball in the post.

I love Lipe's job.

Yeah, it's not like the Cs continued chucking 3s in the 2nd half.

Someone must have just looked at the boxscore and didn't actually see the game.

Other than injuries, shot selection is the only thing that will keep this team from winning a title.

But it might.

[fallguy]

I liked the shot to end regulation WAY MORE than the usual process where we stand around and then jack up a terrible three. It didn't go in but it was a good shot from a guy who does well from the mid-range.

Gross. Someone talk to the guy about it.

They really hunt for 2-for-1s just to do that. It's really maddening.

Joe likes math.
