Tatum you have to step up mentally my dude. This is a team you have destroyed easily over and over again

Good thing the rest of the team is much improved over the 22 squad, because Tatum is turtleing badly again.

Tatum goes to the basket like a wimp. He really does. He needs to take some notes from Jaylen in this department.

We are getting the shots we want no question. Defense has been good. Just need to get the shots to start going down.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

To be fair JT is playing much better this quarter. Several plays where he set up his teammate for a good look. He just needs to make his shots now.

Besides a few bad passes, the Celtics are playing championship caliber ball right now. The high leverage shots(3's) are just not falling but they are pretty much all very good shots.

Absolutely Mental. You don't forget how to be a good basketball player when you have been elite your whole life.

JT plays like a poor man's Siakam in the Finals...

Tatum is fine, he is drawing attention, he must step up on defense

Keep moving the ball and taking the open shots.

The funny thing is Tatum could get the shots Luka gets just outside the paint and he would kill it but NOPE. Fancy, do nothing dribbling and a pull up.

**** you, Drew Hanlen.

I guess he's hurt every year, right?

Always an excuse.Luka's out there lighting it up,injured and Tatum's out there throwing up all over himself.

We gotta create a machine that can somehow give Tatum’s handle to Brown.

Celtics are complacent on another Game 2.
Right the ship.
