Starting to think we have the worst best player remaining in the playoffs.

Joe's out of time out game plan all night was to call the hardest, least likely to convert shot he could think of.

From the beginning my biggest concerns with this team were the coach (I really don't rate him at all) and the bigs. Horford is old as hell and can be targeted, Porzingis is injury prone and Kornet is not someone who should be playing in the playoffs. Queta may have helped but who knows, he won't see the floor no matter what. Celtics will probably still win this series as they are the better team but I am not sure they can beat the Knicks or whoever comes out of the West.

Just look at White's numbers from Game 4, 5, and Game 1 against the Cavs.

Every single one of those games were a blowout and White was great.

Tatum wasn't even great in those 3 games.

Now Tatum is leading the team in scoring, rebounding, assists, and only 1 turnover and the Cs are getting blown out.

Joe is incapable of making in-game adjustments.

That's because he has no inside game. Tatum needs help and Brown isn't the guy to provide it because he can't shoot efficiently consistently enough to keep Tatum from catching those doubles.

It's your fault if you want to crown Tatum a top 5 player when he's not.

A top **** 20 player shouldn’t be struggling this much


So he's not top 20 then.

I’d trade his ass if they don’t get it done this year.

The more I watch the pussy the more he reminds me of Jeff Green with his half assed stoned like approach to games

Facts. I thought game 1 he bricked a lot of good shots. He can’t shoot anymore I don’t know what happened to him these playoffs

I'd be way less concerned if this was just an example of the Cavs going off from 3 but the fact that the Celtics were embarrassingly bad on defense at the rim is a major concern.
