That's not a good shot by KP.

The home run shot that can turn the momentum in favor of the opposing team.

Cs really need to minimize shots like that.

I realize KP has range but Jesus man man it's okay to take 2 steps closer. I promise they still can't block it.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

That's what I mean by discipline on offense.

Celtics are lacking that.

At least 3 plays prior you could see momentum had shifted.

JT being a -6 in this game is crazy

Missing this one but just brings back memories of how janky those posters were during the finals.

Yet another inefficient Tatum shooting game. No MVP for you.

I don't get why Tatum does this. Gets the ball at the FT line and then backs out to launch a contested 3. I don't know if it's cowardice or laziness or what.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

He's just an inefficient player at this point.

I have been watching basketball since the 90s if they were calling these travels back then there would a lot of stars of the past looking like regular good players. This is BS.

They left Dimwiddie out there, 6 Fouls and a Tech.

Even when you don’t defend you foul out, poor guy. “Ref, I wasn’t even in position to take the foul!”

Get Tatum out of the game, enough three point chucking. At least drive and kick do something besides chucking

We wonder why the Cs chuck so much. Look no further than having your best player leading the charge in doing so.
