This will really force the Celtics to learn how to execute in the clutch.

These refs are terrible, especially Malloy.

Tatum had a chance to get inside, instead opted for a step back brick. That dude has nothing in his bag at all. All he does in the clutch is chuck 3’s.

You're going to have to accept that this will be the trend this season.

Things are just not going our way in the regular season.

That’s why JB is better in the clutch. He has a mid range game and better ability tp get to the basket, and better at finishing thru contact than softy JT

Too many games we let bums light us
Too many games that we need to play against the refs
NBA is garbage right now

There's been a reckoning with how fans perceive refereeing.

Everyone believes all sports are fixed and when you get refs calling a game the way they called this game it's hard to ignore.

The bubble is here. When is it gonna burst?

Yes but he’s also actually a really good player who deserved to start all of last season
