We just need Jaylen to play like he has the past 6 weeks.

One game shouldn’t ruin that lol.

Brown has been stellar this year. Our fans here think we should be 33-0.

He's been *awful* this year. Literally shooting 22% for the entire year.

But truth is I don't trust Joe in a close playoff series deep in the playoffs.

Sorry.. Not sorry.


We were down by 18 with half a quarter left & almost came back to win & thats one of your main takeaways ?

Some of you posters are pathetic when it comes to your analysis on Joe.

I thought he didn’t panic. He benched Jrue, and played the end game flawlessly.

Letting PP close the game over Holiday was a huge progression from Joe. He rarely does that.

I want to see it against real playoff-style defenses. Tonight was a great test for him. And a clear failure. Pressure him, speed him up, and he'll play you out of the game.

lmao you have seen him for years in the playoffs. he's had maybe two terrible series the entire time.


I'll be happy to be wrong in the spring. Bookmark this if I am!

JB going jack up shots no matter what. He can score 20+ points next game on the same shots. Zero impact on winning basketball. White 12 shots. JB 18.

If White can consistently shoot close to 10 shots a game why can’t Brown do that?

I felt like we could have went to KP more on offense in the second half.

I mean, you’ve and1’d some extremely anti Tatum posts over the course of the season. How’s that any different?

Everyone is guilty of it lol.

Call me crazy but I actually would have liked to have seen more Horford tonight. Just not with Kornet.

He was giving us a tougher look defensively with his shot blocking.

Chet was dragging Porzingis out of the paint a lot

I did. But I get annoyed when Tatum takes the lazy way out and jacks up threes. Doesn’t mean I want him to be unsuccessful so I can come here and say I told you so. I know he can be so much better (this game for example) so if he’s plays better I’m happy

Our first is absolutely not a three seat game of musical chairs lol.


The hell it isn’t. Rewind through any of our games, you’ll have one of JT, JB or KP having a standout game and one of the others a pumpkin.

I somewhat consider it a luxury but still a double edged sword that we don’t have a #1 go-to night in and out.

D White is our rock

It’s a bit of a concern though to be honest.

We should be wanting Tatum to put up an efficient 26-30 points a game.

It’s not exactly easy to get going if you’re not putting up shots within the flow of the game.

So much Tatum offence early in games tends to be end of clock broken plays

As good as White and Porzingis have been, I don’t want to be relying on them to be our offensive hubs in the playoffs.

You must have missed the last month of Celtics games ?

Brown was averaging 25 points on 54/43 splits in the last 10 games & you want him to shoot it 10 times ?
The things some of you people say on this board is laughable.

There is nothing Kornet does better than Queta in my opinion. So why did Kornet play so many minutes while Queta did not play at all? I don’t get it.

everyone needs a little anti in their life, otherwise things would get boring. then there is anti and downright pitiful, two separate things. i'm not a fan of the exxxtreme.

This team can only be judged come playoff time. If they are healthy and dont get to the finals it's a failure. Until then they are going to have one of the best records in the league off talent alone so the regular season is not all that relevant except health.

Alright I knew the bad takes were coming lmao

I'm going to wait to be concerned about Jaylen, this was Heat series Jaylen tonight. Didn't play within the offense.

Jrue, tbh guys this is who he is. He's really good, but when he's bad every so often, he's BAD. Deer in the headlights

More than expendable, they would be a better team if they traded JB for solid role players and picks. JB's low BBIQ has reared its ugly head too many times.

We’ve lost 7 games, all of them on the road.

I really think you’re blowing things out of proportion

Kornet doesn't determine where to move on defense based on a random number generator.

But what’s the difference between being the one making the post, and the guy liking the post?
