I mean, we’re up 3-2. Let’s not be hysterical. That was an all-time collapse but I’d rather be BOS than ATL.

Waiting for the Tatum stans and Marcus stans to defend this display. And Hal14 of course, with his masterclass in how to blow Mazzula.

oh boy, here come the ridiculous overreactions lol.

Give me a break. The hawks needed Trae to pull a bunch of shots out of his a%% and make like 5 threes from like 10 feet behind the 3 pt line in order to barely beat us.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

I feel this is a trap game
Celtics will not come focused
ATL will play better without this punk and with Bogdan or Bey in the lineup
Trae will dance and these two will be parked on the corners to shoot open 3s

I hope we will come focused beat the hell out of them

This was like every dumb loss last year. 6 minutes left, up 10+, we for some reason let Tatum bring the ball up even tho our offense is easily better with a guard initiating and Tatum starting off ball. We park Jaylen in the corner for no good reason even when he's liquid metal hot. Tatum slows WAAAAAY down, the offense craters, its starts effecting the defense, Smart does something stupid.

Loss.

Tatum plays basketball like he’s 60. Zero burst in his game since the all star break. Cannot **** shoot threes either. Slows the pace down and then our guys have to shoot late end of the quarter shots. Also panics in the clutch, had that brutal turnover to hunter while Trae young was out there giving everything he had out there, I don’t care what his field goal percentage was but he wanted it. Tatum didn’t. Tatum talking all year about the finals, well you ain’t gonna go there if you play like this and don’t come out with a sense of purpose. This Celtics team is the same, always choking in games they should win. Don’t have a closer, Brogdon could be that guy but Mazzulla loves smart because he can do no wrong

And there you have it. It’s well into the playoffs now and this ugly ass team is doing the same things that happened all regular season.

Lots to put on the bingo card for the pessimists tonight.

-Mazzulla loses a playoff game
-Tatum settles during a playoff game
-Smart’s brain melts during a playoff game

What else?

But offense and decision making isn't a problem, likely the most stupid and reckless contender in the clutch in nba history.

True, but every additional game means more gas out of Horford's tank and we all know what happened in last year's Finals
