Idk never saw the special in Tatum.... great scorer, decent defender.... but he's a chucker and takes terrible shots in key moments that crumble momentum.

Fair enough but how the Celtics played in the first half of this game should at the very least be concerning. Even if you don’t think it will affect them winning this series(I agree), it at least shows they haven’t put to bed this type of game, which has plagued them for years. A team with this many vets and playoff-tested players shouldn’t keep having these types of games. It’s a regular occurrence and it very easily could bite them in the future.

**** me. Teams are allowed to lose games.

The KD Warriors copped occasional blow outs and they got smoked in a finals game.


It’s HOW they are playing that’s the problem. Any team that comes out and plays like this deserves criticism.

Celtics just need to go on a 32-0 run until final buzzer to make this a decent loss.

Celtics are not a deep team. One injury to one player in the starting lineup and they may not win again. It is over when it is over.

Celtics are like the deepest team in the league lol

As ugly as this is, the goal was always to split in Dallas.

A sweep would’ve been incredible, but it is what it is.

Look on the bright side, 1-156 will finally surpass 18-1 as the all time greatest L in Boston sports history.

I'm just pissed that this is the effort they give us in a title-deciding game. Seriously pathetic.

Absolutely no effort. It feels like they’re literally throwing the game

Limit their minutes sure. Pull? no

That's not professional in a Finals game in the third quarter. Fans paid hundreds to thousands to be there. While the game is over, the Cs still need to try.

Well Joe is calling enough timeouts lol. About the only thing we’re doing right. Refs aren’t helping at all but we can’t shoot 3’s or 2’s, turning it over and with live ones frequently, can’t rebound, doubling in times when we never do, not rotating at all sometimes and slow in the team we do rotate, and not sharing the ball. You’d literally have a hard time coming up with something we’re doing well tonight. Mavs are super physical but it’s much much more than that. Just a terrible game to this point. AOS worthy…

Jrue has been a special brand of awful. Worst starter tonight.
