I still think they have enough but not at least trying to add a piece was pretty lame.

I don’t give a **** about Joe.

I’m pointing out that our star player the guy people continually try and paint as comparable to Giannis, KD etc continually pisses his pants in close games.

How many more seasons of this BS do we need to watch to realise this?


Best offense in NBA history.

They're gonna be fine.

I doubt they even getting a game 7

Would love to see their offensive rating against Denver, the Clippers and heck even the Bucks

I love Tatum, but there’s a problem there obviously. His last two games were absolute shambles.

If we fail at winning this year, maybe it’s time to think if we need a new number two or a new number one.

I have never seen a superstar peak so high and dip so low.

I also hope i never hear ‘Derrick White is better than Jaylen’.. ever again in this stupid place. Smh.

And I won’t forget.. Mazzula with double bigs against Denver’s tiny little line up, Pritchard playing 5 useless minutes in the 4th. I’ll die screaming it to the universe that this **** guy is garbage. Not blaming him for the loss but he suuuuucks. Foh.

I was way more pissed about the last game than this one.

These teams will make a great finals. There's still time until June to practice FTs.

Next!

I’ve seen enough of Tatum in big games. Dude is a complete wimp and deserves every bit of hate he gets.

Another complete no show from him against the Nuggets because just like Miami they throw bodies in his way and he **** his pants.

Embarrassing FT shooting from Jaylen Brown.

Porzingis is one soft mother ****. Not even talking offensively. Jacked way too many jumpers when he had midgets on him.

Another season where the record is a bit of a mirage as to how good we really are.


I have to sadly agree with most of this. Tatum isn’t it. He just doesn’t have what it takes in the biggest games. I’d loved to be proven wrong this playoffs. I know you didn’t mention Joe, but I’m sorry, he isn’t ready for prime time. He allows this team to keep making dumb decisions in crunch time. A good coach would’ve nipped that in the bud ages ago.


How is this game on Joe when our superstar completely fell apart like always

KP is what you call "light in the ass" that's not his fault he's a thin guy, and he's going against a complete Moose in Jolic.

I thought he had an ok game. He competed. And took a few rushed 3s when they were down and looked to give them a spark.

Tonight it was their superior intelligent superstar making plays for them to seal the game in Jokic.

I thought we were actually pretty good late in switching up the D, causing the Nuggets a few turnovers and stuffing their offence up a bit.

Problem is Jokic is an absurd player who makes elite decisions every time.

Even our offence late was pretty decent beside the horrific 3 on 1 fast break blown

KP is still a great player.And I'm not concerned about not being able to stop the joker.But overall he's a finesse shooter first.Who has trouble getting low post position..
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

He just doesn't have the killer instinct like Bird or even his idol, Kobe. He's uber-talented, but without the killer instinct, he's a tier below where he's supposed to be.

Not upgrading PP will be Brad's biggest mistake if we can't win it all. And do we have a guy off our bench that you can say he may help win us a playoff game? I'm not that confident unless Al has a turn back the clock game.

Pretty disappointed after that loss.

Tatum not bringing it after the last game sucked.

Brown missing so many easy ones and the free throws.

We move on I guess but when was the last time we beat a top team?

On another note, Jaylen "sort of" backed up his mouth after that Cavs loss, but he negated it with horrendous FT shooting. At least he came to play.

If they blow it again this year then Joe is fired and Brown is traded.

Brad ain't afraid to make the moves.

Jokic is otherworldly. We have nobody in the same stratosphere as that guy. All you have to do is surround him with competent players and you are instant title favorites. Must be nice.

Jokic is just insane....he is a generational big which is saying something given how many great bigs there have been.

After a game where 5 other players outscored Tatum, I dare a reporter to ask JT if he still feels he's the best player in the league.

Yeah he’s the best player in the NBA and a nightmare for anyone to play in a 7 game series.

There was a pass which I’ve seen heaps of times from him but still blows my mind where Brown tries to sneak over and double and somehow Jokic just always knows it’s coming and finds the corner guy open.

No other play in the league can make that play.

Return to Boston Celtics
