Should've passed to Hauser.

We're taking dumb shots. Settling way too much.

We need a helluva lot more from Tatum.

If the game plan is to leave Atlanta open all game at the 3 point line everything is going exactly to plan

I hate when bums get hot from 3

If Grizz shot half as good from 3 as ATl is right now they would have beat the Lakers by 20 + bad defense and they are making them pay

Trying to be ready to help against a Trae drive too much has meant we've been too far away from the others to guard the perimeter.

Poor first half. Way too many open looks being gifted. Flat performance and even TD Garden atmosphere for Clincher Game.

Great quarter. Some of the most intense defense I've ever seen

Bad bad bad. Let Trae take the 30 footers. Hurts when they go in, but he is unbelievably streaky with those and they’re generally awful shots. He’ll beat himself more times than not, and when you enable his passing that’s when it’s a problem.

Doing very poorly with that and I have nothing positive to say about JT so far.

More like he's a horrible shooter right now.

That airball that Rob tried to turn into an alley-oop was an eye-opener. (Or was it a wildly misaimed oop attempt?)

The good news is that he often turns that around partway through a game.

We should be down by more than 3. We're lucky.

I am getting pissed

Make a run when Trae sits. Need strong start to the 2nd. Enough of the garbage D.

I always worry about the Celtics at home in the playoffs during the Tatum and brown era…seems like when they can put a strangle hold on a series the Celtics come out flat at home and the series extends…

Other than Jaylen Brown where the **** is the energy from this team? Robert Williams and Horford are not even bothering to contest a three point attempt….Tatum has been pretty average this series, be the mvp like player you were

Once again, I'm glad that Playoff Brogdon is willing to attempt a heave before the buzzer sounds, something Regular Season Brogdon doesn't like to do.

Boston isn't taking this game seriously because Murray is out. Been their MO all season.

exculpatory · Post #159 » by **exculpatory** » Wed Apr 26, 2023 12:02 am

And they are shooting lights out again

Settling Tatum sucks
