God it’s infuriating to watch.


It is one or two players doing it too.

Selfish dumb basketball by the usual suspects in close games.

And now with the game this close, you kinda wish you’d take back all those possessions you wasted. Cs make it harder on themselves.

Jaylen should've just shot the corner three instead of turning the advantage into exactly what the defense wants.

Lead back down to 5. Might have to get Lamar back in there :)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Maybe we can lead for the entire second half only to give up the last basket and lose.. :o

Because JB & JT have had a decent amount of success playing panic ball.

Sucks but is what it is.
[quote=“dkb964”]156-1 Celtics are frauds when pressure is put on them. They would have been toast if Luka was not stupid enough to foul himself out. Enjoy this ONE finals win. There will never be another with the Js and the Celtics cant afford stacked team.[/quote]

Good thing we have an outstanding weapon like Sam Hauser just sitting the bench game after game late in the fourth quarter..
