Celts Climb Out of 1st Half Toilet, Avoid Getting Pist On! VC vs DET 12/28

[KillahGhostface]

Biggest win of the season.

KP is a cheat code against mismatches, just straight shoots over guys. He gets the VC, White amazing second half and gets the CP, Jrue played really good defense on Cade in the second half.

Tatum couldn’t shoot for ****, but 7 boards, 10 assists, and 5 steals is the type of stuff you need to do when your shot isn’t falling. Created a ton of open looks for other guys, just couldn’t knock down open looks himself.

I’ll say it again, White is making the all star team.

White was amazing when it mattered, but Porzingis smokes one tonight.

Who the hell are the 5 people, as of this posting, who voted for Tatum? Show yourselves, so I can put you on the “do not take basketball opinions from these people seriously” list. Thanks in advance.

[KillahGhostface]

It's a shame I have no confidence whatsoever in Tatum hitting a game winning shot. He just ain't that guy.

I can pull out the stats, he’s historically good at hitting shots in the last 24 seconds. Not an exaggeration either, the numbers are insane.

It’s the couple of minutes before that that is usually his and the teams issues lol.

Ya know, I didn't even notice that Tatum got votes, until you said that.
This was a Sad Game.

I'm almost sorry that I watched it.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Tatum has been flat out pathetic for weeks now

Carried to a win

Won’t win **** with this dude mailing in games

Still got 31 points and 10 assists.

Also made 2 big plays in OT to put the game away.

1. The assist to White for the 3.
2. Outlet pass to KP for the dunk.

The guy still made winning plays on a bad shooting night.

His main job is to score the ball

He’s been throwing up junk shots and missing hunny layups for weeks

Got absolutely embarrassed at the rim multiple times

Lucky not to lose us the game with his BS

[playa-hater]

I appreciate Tatum’s shooting wasnt there, but he did everything else. I can’t give it to KP with how terrible they were on the glass.

For me it's not that Tatum's shooting wasn't there.. That happens. It's that he kept going to it.. 2 -11 from 3 ??

[Fierce1]

Can I open my eyes now???

How did we NOT lose that?
We gave them every opportunity.

Whew!!!

Mark of a great team.

Shot poorly and trailed big at the half and got clobbered on the boards the whole game.

But still ended up winning.

Gross. Someone talk to the guy about it.

They really hunt for 2-for-1s just to do that. It's really maddening.

I'll take your word for it... I remember someone doing that not that long ago. Maybe it's the buzzer beaters specifically he seems to miss alot? Idk what the stats are for that. Just seems that way.

Let’s see what happens tomorrow after the team playing 53 minutes and no Al Horford

[Riverwalk2021]

Horford should rest until we play the Bucks next month.

Small sample but he hasn't done well in this particular scenario:

1 for his last 11 now.

[Setshot33]

Same old same old.

Same mistakes/behaviors as the last 5+ years.

Some fans look at this team and note all the experience they have reg.season and playoffs yet they never seem to learn anything from it.
Tonight inspired no confidence that they've changed their ways either.

What's the average and median PPP on the 2nd shot of a 2-for-1?

You do realize we played the worst team that has ever laced them up right? That was embarrassing. I give them credit for pulling out the win, but this is NOT the game to point to to use the phrase “great team”

It’s one of those things where it’s more about tough shot making than them playing smart in the clutch lol. The process is never great, but being able to hit tough shots is the ultimate cheat code late in games.

Except tonight lol. The game tying layup was nice, but besides that he couldn’t hit **** late in the game.

I dunno. I wouldn't waste my time looking it up when they could just draw up a different play.

[playa-hater]

Despite their disgraceful record, the Pistons have nice building blocks in Cunningham, Duren and Ivey.

Cade might be the worst and the laziest defender I've ever seen. Duren is legit.

Luka says Hello

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

The Celtics don't win this game if Marcus Smart hasn't been traded.
No Porzingis or stepping up of White...
