Tatum was a top 5 player last year. So far he looks like 12 or 13th best this year.


I agree. Booker, KD, fox, SGA, hali, lebron having much better season than him. It’s like he’s even struggling to score 30. More of rhe problem has been shot selection.

Tatum will be shooting 20% on pull-up threes and people here will still be defending his shot selection.

You can certainly overreact to this loss but it was bad and reaffirming of our major weaknesses.

All yall think about is scoring. had tatum hit some shots yall would laud him for doing well with a bum ankle. anyone can miss shots, sometimes it comes at a bad time. he stacked up other stats, so he was engaged! man, yall give no grace! 7 assits no tunovers, tyvm!

On the bright side now that we finally lost a game people can freely express all the anger and frustration that's been building up over the 5 game win streak.

The major weakness is clear. Tatum turns into a mental midget.

Well, if Tatum didn't turn his ankle early and come back out and finish nearly the entire game, I would have said that this game convincingly proves that Tatum is NOT a TOP 5 Player. But, because he turned his ankle but continued to play, I'm gonna gave Jason a pass on this one.

They didn't shoot enough of them to get the average up.

Tell me why we didn't go at Curry when he checked back in early in the 4th with 5 fouls? Very bad coaching.

Absolutely no excuses with Tatum horford and Missoula I would have those guys on the bench in the next game and just go with Keith her and pause inches and brown and sit them down you can't pull this crap over and over again.

I was so pleased after the games against Orlando in Cleveland because they played well and they looked great and they beat teams that they generally sometimes struggle against but this is outrageous I have really ever been so angry as a Celtics fan than this because there's so much better than this team even with Porzongis out and they folded in the clutch once more and I do this year after year.
You can't be taken seriously as a champion and pull crap like this it's a fundamental flower the coach would Peyton's mindset as if no one else ever gets injured on Court and has to play under difficult circumstances. Ever heard of Willis Reed who played on half a leg but still led the team to greatness and Tatum can't do it. Curry owns him Lock stock and barrel. What are we supposed to think of Celtics fan when we watch this for a year after year after year after year after year?
And it doesn't change, how do you get through Tatum, to wake up?
I feel bad for Pritchard who had a great game Quita, Derek White, Brown when he was used right.


Speaking of meltdowns -- you may need a new grammar checker. ;)



My apologies to everyone I did not have a chance to edit it, before my phone battery died.

You guys should listen to the actual quote. Joe was really really bad tonight but he's right that they did just miss a lot of open looks

There's no way Tatum is a top 5 player this season. Too many good players in the NBA right now.

The relentless emphasis on 'all open threes are good shots' has **** up this team the last two years.


I just think this style is not gonna win us a championship. Porzingis changes things greatly being 10 million times better than Horford on offense but **** Tatum needs to cut out the 3 point chucking. He’s not a good three point shooter. Probably can be if he took quality shots but no. Just screams lazy to me when he doesn’t want to attack and draw fouls or post up over and over like Kawhi would do. Tatum can absolutely do nearly whatever he wants when he drives or attacks from the post up but the relentlessness chucking threes even when you’re struggling is a joke. The pacers in season game and this game the biggest shots Tatum took is a bs three which predictably are bricks.

This dumbass coach has to realize at some point not calling a timeout and letting Tatum dance around only the 3 point line only to chuck has not worked and will probably never work. Call a timeout and be a **** coach and run a play.


Tatum is a great three point shooter no matter how many he misses.

Or so I'm told.

Tatum’s game should be attack the hoop relentlessly when drawing help defenders, mix in post ups and the occasional pull up mid range jumpers.

The threes should be limited to spot up threes and threes off pick and roll actions.

I have no idea why he jacks so many contested pull up threes. So many of them miss and are complete momentum killers because they seem to come at times when we were getting far better looks previously.

They doubled and we passed it out to Horford and Hauser who bricked every single shot

Celtics lost 4 straight road games lol. Team has looked like **** outside of home.

I swear if Hauser just hit one of those threes in the second half this game would’ve been long over. Were literally on the verge of blowing them out and he couldn’t **** hit one open three. Of course PP shows up when Hauser doesn’t. Rarely both are in sync.

We lost 4 games in a row on the road.. And I believe we have played the least road games..

And once again it is Not about losing but the manner of our losing..

But even in some of our wins there have been red flags showing all over the place.

It's a good thing that we have a great roster to overcomes summary major weaknesses we have.. finishing games and coaching.
