That was never in doubt. The issue is that Tatum is not even in the top 5 players on the floor

I don't care for the offense that is always hot and cold with this team, our defensive intensity isn't there right now. Being to comfortable.

It's the same problem they've been having all year long. When the threes aren't falling, there's not much else on offense. Just gotta survive this quarter and reset.

All that Tatum slander from non-celtics fans... I have to admit I'm kind of turning on Tatum at this point. If he stinks this up sign and trade him.

This series is it for Tatum. He HAS to deliver or he'll become a joke.

Can Brad take over for Joe like right now and put him back in the 2nd row? Kind of like a relief pitcher?

Don't get why ppl are surpised about JT. He's been a stat chaser his whole career who is only happy when he's getting his and if he's not he goes in the tank. Wouldn't expect that to change suddenly now.

ZERO assists so far in the third, we need some ball movement and not just chucking 3s

Hauser has played better thus far.

It’s neve just one player going cold with this team. It’s a collective of every player going cold at the same time. Just insane.

Scoring only 9 points in a quarter is crazy.

Damn refs missed a moving screen by Klieber to free Luka

and a few players earlier let Derrick Lively get in Porzingis' space in a clear foul.

Damn refs swallowing their whistles to keep game close.

You misspelled the last 3 seasons, at least
