Hawks Peck Our Eyes Out! Big Dumb Loss vs ATL 4/25 (BOS leads 3-2)

Credit Trae, that was an "all in" shot.

How can you defend a shot more than 30 feet away?

It was a low percentage shot that Trae made.

Don’t care if Tatum drops 40 in game 6 and the Celtics win. He does this way too much to have trust in him to lead this team to the championship this season. He has not learned from last season and I said he was heading into the playoffs this year much worse than last year because he was **** bricking his threes and looked slow out there and yet he’s looked like that most of this first round. Tatum has been garbage this first round. He deserves the lion share of blame because it’s his team.

The Celtics playing extra games will bite them just like it did in the finals. This team doesn’t have the focus or the championship mentality to close out series when it’s there.

Marcus smart continues to do dumb **** with turnovers late in games (remember game 5 vs Milwaukee), I have the same amount of confidence in JB making two free throws as a I do with Shaq when he was playing late in games, Tatum you just know is gonna be focused on killing as much time as he possibly can when they have a lead late in the game and then all he does is chuck threes late in games to predictable bricks, Al Horford disappears on offense almost as if he doesn’t exist, Joe Mazzulla just showed what a mediocre coach he is showboating bringing in Blake Griffin unnecessarily and had zero creative plays out of the timeouts. This team is what it is at this point. Talented to be the best team but you can’t trust them because you see the flaws too many times

Did he even make a single contested shot? Dude is literally sitting behind screens shooting or strolling into the paint with no pressure at all.

On the other hand Tatum gets **** BLITZED on every pick we set for him.

Our defensive scheme is a joke. Our coach is a joke.

JT is most guilty of this. Just stubborn I guess.

I thought they wanted another crack at the Chip. Doesn't look like it so far.

Celtics were up 10 points with 6 minutes left in the game. They immediately started walking the ball up, dribbling out the shot clock, getting terrible shots and I said “Here we go again “.

Lmao
NBA as we know it, regular season is to long, playoff series are to long which sets up regular season tanking, lack of urgency and whatever else you add to it

Hats off to Young, best player on the court

You could see it in the first quarter. They were playing half-interested defense.

The fact that it's still happening at all is why they aren't winning ****.

Same thing happened to the Bucks. It’s the playoffs.

Trae Young is not Jimmy Butler. Not even remotely close, either.

Tatum needs to take control and go to the next level. This passive **** like tonight is just embarrassing. Let's give Philadelphia more rest. Idiots.

This game was another black eye for jayson tatum. His other companion always seems to outshine him even in losses.

Joe Mazzula is really, really bad.

XtremeDunkz · Post #74 » by **XtremeDunkz** » Wed Apr 26, 2023 2:09 am

I was shocked they just kept letting Trae get Horford on him. At some point you have to stop switching so softly.

Tatum played as if it were a pickup game today. Zero urgency. We are never winning a title with him as the best player until he shows the kind of aggression that the greats all have.

Joe kept rotating lineups like he didn’t know what to do. White , Smart , then White, then Smart like wtf! No consistency and you have JB or JT walking it up the court! Also Tatum ultimately choked this game away . JB struggled , it was a good old fashioned Choke Job in the end.

Obviously the zebras wanted to extend this series , no fn way that Smart steal was a foul. Not to mention a handful of others. Unreal that we’re going back to ATL. These fools were on the ropes!

We’ll be going home soon if Tatum keeps chucking awful 3s even though none are going in

They lost the game well before that shot. Just moronic play for the last 5 minutes.

Definitely not now and I don’t think he ever will be. Been saying for a while that you ain’t wining **** with him as your best player. I’m definitely moving him before Brown who is as good a number 2 as it gets and continues to improve.

and our coach stood there and watched. they went on a 15-2 run...still standing there watching...

Did that suck?
