Last season the Cs were stuck with no reliable big man heading into the playoffs.

This season the Cs have one of the best in KP.

The Cs just need to get comfortable in big games and in pressure situations in the clutch.

There's still a little more than a month left in the regular season.

All of this will be forgotten once the Cs are in the playoffs.

Denver shot 19% from three and scored 115 lol

I believe we can win this year, but there are concerning trends. Does it not concern you that JT has allowed himself to be taken out of the game too much in a few of the big games this year?

Maybe when the playoffs start it won’t be a factor, but in all honesty I think he has mental hurdles he needs to overcome.

You just wait.

Just like Lebron in 2011.

That's why I keep saying 2025 is the year the Cs will have the biggest chance of winning it all.

But this year they're good enough.

They just have to get better as the playoffs progresses.

JT will be fine.

He's just going through what guys like Lebron and KD went through when they were 25-26 years old.

JT was 12 pounds lighter in 2022.

His post up game only arrived this season.

It's just a matter of time.

Those on the doubters list will feel silly for doubting JT when the Cs get Banner 18.

From Jordan to Lebron to KD, all of them didn't win their first ring until 27 or 28 years old.

We've seen this movie before.

Look, I still believe JT can but I’m not blind to the weaknesses in his game, especially the games where he’s in his head. There are movies where they don’t figure it out, KD never did as the clear #1 among others.

JT doesn’t need to be the best player in the league for us to win, but he needs to at least have an average game for him for us to have a chance.

That's why I said 2025 is the year.

This season there are questions and concerns.

Your concern is valid and it is a fact that JT needs to overcome mental hurdles.

But it's still early March, we don't know what will happen in late April and beyond.

Just because JT is not yet there right now, it doesn't mean he can't be there in the playoffs or finals.

We've seen JT do great things in the playoffs in the past.

That's why I think it's just a matter of time.

You're talking as if the season is over and the Cs are going home for the summer.

Any hope Tatum had for MVP is gone after the last two games

I think people forget that Jokic might go down as the greatest offensive player we’ve ever seen.

Great players impose their will in big games. Tatum didnt do that. Very disappointed in this game

I don’t, but that shouldn’t stop JT from playing offense.

One day you folks will wake up and realize that Tatum isn't an Alpha and really the Celtics need an Alpha for him to play with.

BTW, the next time someone compares him to Bird, they need to wash their mouth out with soap.
