Tatum has played like garbage though. Let’s get real. I think dallas was a very favorable matchup for us.


He’s shooting poorly but saying he played like garbage is absolutely preposterous. He’s passing, he’s rebounding and he’s defending.

To win one in Dallas I think we need a big scoring game from him, but this team is pretty dang good.

Kyrie might as well be Tim Hardaway Jr out there. We own him.

That's true but he also needs to adjust his game and abandon his outside shot and simply attack the rim everytime. He's terrible shooting is making things harder than they need to be.

JT getting tons of praise from the non-idiots on Twitter. If you can get over the fact that he can't buy a three and can't finish at the cup, he really played well.

Tatum unselfishness has been great this series. He’s not trying to force it

Even if KP is out for game 3, I don't have a lot of concern about it. The Celtics can get any shot they want. We have such a huge talent advantage, our best player can shoot like absolute ass and we can still cruise. We have too much for them. Only thing that can hurt us is poor decision making by Tatum.

Tatums def due! I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets 40+ on one of these two games in Dallas. His shots just not fallen but he was aggressive at the rack tonight and had Russel Westbrook numbers. Strong game all around

Was a great team win...but I don't vote like that. Jrue all the way, quietly put up 26/11/3 on 11-14 shooting, zero turnovers and was out there making his teammates better all game.

DWhite was our most clutch player in the second half. Jaylen solid despite the 6 TOs, Tatum would have had a monster line tonight if he hit a couple more of his threes and wasn't trying to avoid contact near the rim, but still finished with 18/9/12.

Great team win, it never felt in doubt.

If true, then that's amazing news. We'll need to stomp on them in game 3.

Shout out to PP for that huge heave at the end of 3 to change momentum. He did a decent job on d too. Hopefully he gets Scam Hauser's (yes, he's back) minutes for game 3 :lol:

He doesn’t need to abandon his outside shot. He needs to shoot open shots with confidence
Not pass down good shots for crappy fadeaways.
