Our bench sucks. Unless the starters are spectacular, they aren't beating good teams with this lol

Refs swallowing whistles. But the Celtics need to get it together for a big 4th.

Horford needs to retire

Tatum no show today when it comes to scoring. Don’t like how he hasn’t looked as sharp against better defenses. Probably gonna expect a roller coaster again from JT come playoff time…

Too dependent on the outside shot for the Cs.

Embiid doing a great job protecting the paint.

Cs just can't score inside in this quarter.

He didn’t shoot the three well last year either…miss 2022 JB

I don’t know what the **** happened. His midrange used to be automatic too now it’s everything short when he shoots


It’s longer than 2022 lol.

These are his catch and shoot numbers since 20-21

43.1
36.7
33.4

Kelly Oubre was signed in late Sept for the vet min. I thought he was a lesser Jaylen Brown.

Why the **** we weren't in on him with 0 bench idk.

And here he is this year producing at the same level or better than Jaylen Brown now that JB has seemed to given up after getting paid.

Tatum cooked Embiid many times from that exact setup. Just not tonight.

Not a championship caliber team. Hasn't been one for a few years now.

Another disaster Tatum-led lineup. He barely takes shots. Instead, it’s Horford bricks and KP missing bunnies.

Brutal last few minutes from Tatum, Embiid outplayed him big time right there.
