Tatum equally as bad. 7/21 2/9 from 3????? He’s no mvp. Just riding on team success. I don’t trust him on late game situations at all. He doesn’t have any go to moves. He’ll just that ugly side step 3, or that turn around fade away jumper, that has almost no chance of going in. If you foul him, he might miss both free throws. Just SOFT. His game is soft, and his mentality is soft. 7 made shots the entire game and ot. Wtf???? He might get you all the stats early on, but he definitely missing when it counts. You can criticize JB all you want, but JT is the main man. He should get the majority of the blame for this **** show.

The difference is JT just misses.

Reason why JB gets blamed a lot is because he makes dumb mistakes.

Like that one in OT.
Joe designed the play for JB, but JB screwed it up.
JB's shot got blocked and when he got the ball back, he forced up a shot then changed his mind to pass and it ended in a turnover.

You may not trust JT now, but let's see what happens in the near future.

Last season you already proclaimed Ant as the next MJ after the Wolves swept the Suns.

This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Nobody will ever come close to MJ lol. Seriously, JT is the main guy. Enough with the excuses already. I don’t trust JT at all sorry. We almost lost a game previously because he choked hard on those free throws. Up 3, and he misses both??? Wtf!!! I want him to succeed and prove his doubters wrong, including me and Steve Kerr, but he makes it hard for himself. I trust Pritchard more than Jt and JB all on late game situations. All because the Jays have mediocre handles and so so shooting.

Well, 2032 is still a long way to go and JT has until that to solidify his legacy.

Jrue YOU CANNOT JUST IGNORE LAYUP!Score it and dont kick out for no damn reason.
Joe just forgets about Luke on the bench and keeps playing Nemi.
Every time ball is in JB's hands longer like 2 seconds our O just dies and everyone stands around

Lol. These guys just sometimes don’t think. They have a layup, and see a teammate wide open for 3, and they kick it out. Same thing happened in the conf finals against the heat. Hoford had a layup with a small guy in front, and he kicks it out to JT, then JT sprains his ankle. Just stupid thinking.

That missed 3 on 1 to start the 2nd (and the 2nd blown break after that) ruined the whole night.

Back in 89, some said Danny Ferry is the next Larry Bird.

I remember the days when a guy like LaMarcus Aldridge was a pipe dream for Celtic fans.

Right now the Celtics have a top 5 player in the league.

That should not be taken for granted.

Pats fans never felt the same on Sundays when Brady left Belichick.

For comparison, Miami has the allegedly best coach in the league.

But we all know Miami will never come close to winning a championship.

The Celtics on the other hand have a not likable coach.

But the Cs are in a position to win championships.

Let's see whose fan base will be excited about NBA basketball in May.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43473105/celtics-blow-lead-late-hawks-win-heated-period

The Celtics had a 90.3% chance to win, per ESPN Analytics, when they were leading 103-100 with 20.1 seconds to go after a technical free throw from Jayson Tatum. But a Jrue Holiday turnover followed by a pair of costly fouls on Young helped send the game to overtime.

Actually, it's not.

Right now a lot of playoff teams will be interested.

Even Team USA loves Jrue.

Boston sports radio was just talking about the Cs might trade Jrue on or before trade deadline.

It's either we repeat for the title or we don't. Not stressing over this regular season. Surely not gonna lose my mind over every RS loss like I did past seasons pre-title. Either way, I think major change is a-comin' in the offseason. Less enjoyable regular season this year but there's also less urgency to perform at a high level in these 82 games, at least for me.

Red Auerbach would compare Michael Smith to Larry too.

I don't know, I just have really good vibes about Cooper Flagg... And having a local guy as franchise player is dynamic.

Let’s tank for Cooper. It’s time.


We have 40 more games left and already have 13 losses. To at least equal last year's championship run record (64-18), we'd need to go 35-5 the rest of the way.

Right where we want to be, huh? No worries as 35-5 is very realistic.

Return to Boston Celtics
