Cs lead by 23 early in the 4th.

The objective is to win, not to let JT score 40 or 50.

Celtics did what they were supposed to do with Mitchell on the bench. He’s the entire Cavs team

Now that the Celtics have close to perfect ball movement, Cs fans want JT to take reasonable shots.

JT doesn't have to do more if the other guys are playing great.

Fixed it for you

Keep beating them into submission.
Go up by 30.

Now it's a defensive foul.

There's actually no such thing as over the back in the rule books. You just can't make illegal contact, whether it's over the back or under the back. It's one of those TV announcer made rules, like having your feet set on taking a charge.

Celtics are going to have a shock to the system when they have to play a real NBA team in the ECF.

We want Tatum to make his shots not take more shots. Your read isn't accurate.


I'm sure Jayson wants to make his shots as well... it happens, he's doing everything else.


No one is arguing that. If we can't hold JT accountable by asking what's wrong then what's the point?

He needs to be better and he will be the first person to say it.

I’m curious to see what happens when they face a defense that can’t be broken down with ball movement and requires elite level individual basketball. Jaylen will be ready, Idk about Tatum though..

Let's get there first.
