I knew Siakam was gonna hit that, just as I knew JT was gonna miss his.

I hope I'm wrong but I think JB may be invisible in this 2H, remember what I said multiple times about LBJ, you have to pace yourself better because there is a whole game to play. It's going to be tough to keep that offensive play up in the second half, it's tough for everybody. I can see Tatum going ham. We need all hands on deck. Please shoot better shooters.

Tatum didn't get the memo that game 2 Celtics isn't a thing we're trying to keep going.

During the season one poster went nuts because I said Brown was closing the gap, not even surpassing but just closing the gap, with Tatum.

I wonder what they'd say now.

I think JB is the perfect 2nd star, a perfect Pippen next to Jordan if you will. Our problem is our star: he is not one.

When are we going to stop saying coaching doesn’t play a part in these defensive miscues

White is a role player. JT looked like a role player, an awful role player.

I’m completely sick of people lumping in role players with Tatum.

We got told all season Tatum being passive and anonymous in games wasn’t an issue.

It was always BS.

If Tatum ain’t Tatum you are relying on role players to pick up his slack regularly which is **** ridiculous.

White is a good player but we won’t win a title if Tatum is going 5/18 and relying on White, Holiday etc to score 25.

If Brown paced himself the Celtics would be down 15+

There is one player that has been invisible both halves

Others need to get going. Can't rely on Holiday and Brown all game. They will probably go cold soon.

Mazulla figured out a way to get Siakim going when he has Tatum and Brown on his team....

They are certainly more painful than other seasons because our best player just drifts through games.

It’s ugly to watch Tatum relying on role players to make up for his non performances


But not even just that but just overall lack of personality on the team compared to other years

The East as a whole is just really boring.

We haven’t even had a chance for any of our players to truly test themselves
