I don't mind the Celtics losing however losing in this fashion is embarrassing. It reflects poorly on the players and even more so on the coach.

Not gonna win with this lineup in.

I knew Celtics **** up right away to start the 3rd gave up 2 consecutive threes and a Jaylen brown turnover sandwich in between that.

This team sometimes doesn’t match the aggression early in quarters.

I’m just waiting for people to say how Tatum is coasting and waiting for the real stuff to start.

This is a guy who should be hitting his prime and looks no different than he did two seasons ago and I’d argue almost looks worse

JT has to be aware he's being measured against the other MVP candidates, right? The way he has respoded shows me he either doesn't care, or he just doesn't have that mindset to prove he's the best.

This is why I don’t trust this team to win a championship. What I saw against the Wolves, Pacers and today is just pathetic.

Celtics have a size advantage at nearly every position but they don't know how to exploit it. Coaching failure.

Pathetic coaching

Much worse. He's regressed for 2 consecutive seasons.

They're 22-9 for a reason, plus they're insanely young. Probably in a better position for the future than we are, given that they actually have a superstar.

Tatum is not an MVP candidate. Let's be serious here. It's Embiid again if he plays the required games and after him there's like 4 more players before Tatum is in the convo.

Regular season joe has put together a great defensive game planned for sure.. They have an m v p caliber player who's allowed to do whatever he wants whenever he wants..

All while no one's closing out anyone..

F off with this double big line up.

I mean I don’t think Tatum is having a bad game but any means but sga is having a greattttt game. Blame should go to JB for being pathetic and holiday.

This lineup is the stuff of nightmares lol

playa-hater · Post #597 » by **playa-hater** » Wed Jan 3, 2024 2:54 am

Cornette trying to grab a rebound looks like he's six foot two again

ConstableGeneva · Post #598 » by **ConstableGeneva** » Wed Jan 3, 2024 2:54 am

Defense has been bad. Jrue and JB combining for 4/21 not helping the cause, no?

Bill Lumbergh · Post #599 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Wed Jan 3, 2024 2:54 am

Celtics are putting some stank on it but not in a good way.

TheMartian · Post #600 » by **TheMartian** » Wed Jan 3, 2024 2:54 am

OKC is just wide open on those 3s. Pathetic defense.
