I’d like to hear your excuses though, since you have one on everything.

Tatum has never been the man,period. He's a #2. Needs an alpha to lead him.

What overreactions?
We played soft and dumb
Going to game 6 instead of finishing it here
ATL has the momentum and we need to gather ourself and beat them there

13 up 6 minutes to go and JT slows the game. Dumb

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.


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


Not trying to minimize it. That was awful. Just saying something equally obvious.

Tatum should be ashamed! Tatum and smart with thise bad passes killed us. JT has no killer instinct. Walking down the ball like you have a 20pt lead. Wtf!!

This loss is not on coach. Players (Tatum) didn't execute. Tatum played slow down all night, when all the coaches preached tempo. I guess Tatum knows best. Not an MVP wantabe performance at all. Definatly AOS on Tatum, although Smart has some pretty dumb plays also. Smart makes a great play, but then follows that up with two stupid plays. I would move Smart also, and start White, easy choice for me.

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.


You’re unbelievably condescending. Everything is “give me a break,” “XYZ happened,” “I want to rim Mike Muscala.”

But it’s ok. You’re the better fan.

Tatum was worthless tonight. Really tired of him letting us down in the playoffs. His legacy is going to be just that. He was a disaster tonight.

No over the top is people who keep deflecting criticism for the Celtic players.. The players Made a Series so much closer than it should be..

I believe it a Fact but if you want to say that's my opinion then fine but I am staying with this this .. Again I Travisty to even have a game this close..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Why do our stars always commit unreal & stupid mistakes when the game is on the line? Seriously, when will they learn? When will they learn to go for the kill? When? Will they grow up before this team is broken up? Tatum and Brown forgets how to pass when they are pressured? Really? We are in big trouble if our stars play like rookies instead of veteran. My god, grow up fools!

Smart needs to go. He's not a floor general and his judgment has always been bad. As bad as Tatum was, Smart screwed up in the 4th quarter time and time again.

It just cements my belief that Tatum as a No 1 equals zero championships for this team. I'm also disappointed with Brown continuing to miss free throws.
