Jayson Tatum is the most selfish player to ever wear a Celtics uniform. Trade him.

If PP is playing better than White then this is an automatic loss.

Mazzulla has been terrible tonight…. My god. Allowing Tristan Thompson to get like 5 straight offensive rebounds is a fire able offence. You put Tillman for Kornet because Kornet has been terrible and have Jayson **** Tatum to guard Tristan instead of Tillman and allow ANOTHER offensive rebound. ALSO, WHY ARE WE PLAYING DROP?? How many times are we going to be burnt by it this series is for Tillman NOT Luke and we need to SWITCH EVERYTHING. It’s too **** late now lol. Also terrible effing game white you just gonna sit around and launch threes all game???? :banghead:

KP is the difference maker. Without him, this is the same team as before, replace smart with Jrue tah duhhh except Jrue looks much worse than smart does on offense and Tatum is nowhere near the player he was last year in the playoffs, brown trash at shooting threes

He’s a fake ass superstar. More like a poor man’s harden, with less shooting and playmaking skills.


Yeah, Harden could at least put up enough regular season numbers to get an MVP.

Every single critic of our team has said the same thing: we have no game plan when the shots aren't falling. That's on every member of the coaching staff.

Tatum is the only player the other team game plans for.

To not take it into account is to ignore the facts.

Didn't realize you were attending Cleveland's game planning sessions, my mistake.


Cool. Let's ignore the fact that Tatum is the only one catching the double teams.

Watch the game. Not the box score.

That's the second time you've taken a shot at White.

You understand that White is a role player right?
White's the 2nd best player on the team when he has it going but just a role player when he struggles? Ok...

I’m curious if JT or JB feel that they have any accountability to put the game in their hands or if Pritchard needs to shoot his way back into it.

Just and insanely disappointing team.

Losing is acceptable, this is not.

Feels like Tatum is 2/50 shooting midrange shots these playoffs. It’s unbelievable bad, each time he does it I know it’s a miss and the shot is likely short. I said all season he wasn’t playing at the level last season and it’s showing when we need him

If the Cs were shooting 40% from 3 right now and all else were the same, they'd have 15 more points and still be slightly behind.

Every time Tillman was out there, Mitchell and Garland would switch onto him and they are too fast for him to keep up. Bickerstaff is annihilating Joe.

If I had a guy that drew the defensive attention of JT, I'd have a LOT more off ball movement and screening.

Go ahead and **** on white for the bad game, but he's been our best player by far for the playoffs and Tatum/Brown put him in this position where he may as well try to force some offense.
