Memphis just zero business being this close. They have like 7 guys playing, only one of whom is recognizable.

Why make things up?


I watch the game. I know what i see


Clearly you don’t. I mean it’s VERY clear you don’t know what you see.

He posts up a ton for a wing, he gets to the line a ton, and he’s shooting 37% from three.

I’d say you’re capable of more, but I think that’s a lost cause.


You can't handle criticism of your binkies and are the biggest reply guy here.

These criticisms of Tatum have been going on for ages and anyone who gets upset by them is dismissing a largely held opinion my many Celtics fans. That is some extraordinary arrogance but that's what I've come to expect from stat nerds.

Is this a serious question :o

Why wouldnt it be? This team is like five levels below on a talent standpoint right now!


Because playing down to our competition seems to be more than just a Trend..

There is something wrong if they can't blow out this team.

At least the Cs are getting good at excuse-making if we keep playing below standard. Elite skill to have.

Tatum has only 13-5-2 in 13 minutes of play on 60 TS%. Why can't he stop sucking? Soft.

As opposed to being an uninformed person who literally makes things up like yourself? Which may be overrating you tbh.

Keep burying your head in the sand little guy, one day you’ll understand basketball.

Have they ever given a parquet tile to an active player? Smart should get one since he spent most of his career kissing it and getting scrapes/burns from it.

Ok, heroes among us made me tear up a little bit.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)
