That episode of Tatum taking the FTs when anyone on court could reeks of "estrelismo" - a player thinking since they are the _star_ player they have the right to stat-pad and take those FTs. This is not the work of a serious player, much less of a serious coach.

Tatum is like the best free throw shooter on the team considering volume and %.



You know he has a free throw issue in the playoffs. You do if you been watching for the last half plus decade.

I'd like to see Pritchard back. He brought a lot of energy when he came in.

Bad things happen after Cs win big.

Just a normal game so that the Cs will not be lazy the next game.

Cs won big in Game 1 and they were lazy in Game 2.

You beat the **** teams you play when you should beat them.

And they are doing it with zero problems

First of all the Thunder are led by SGA who is as old as Tatum now.
Second, the Celtics in 2020 swept Embiid's Sixers.
What the Thunder are doing isn't really that impressive. Lets see them do it in the Finals.

Tillman should come in to give Adebayo a hard flagrant two. Then maybe the refs will use their whistles.

He's an 83.4% free throw shooter in the playoffs and was shooting 87.5% in the first two games.

No. He has been useless for the Celtics for awhile.

Can you tell me how?
I am not seeing that. I see great defense and good decisions and excellent team basketball.

One good thing about us kicking butt this game is this place will be less cringe and less depressing :)
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Youngest number 1 seed of all time.

Cut that **** out. This team couldn't do it and I was told it's because it's not possible.

Give me a call when they successfully find a way to quantify what we all know.
