Damn. Tatum selling a bone bruise lol.

That's it boys. We won't be able to criticize a single game from him all playoffs without someone inevitably saying what a dick we are because of how brave he is for even trying to play in the first place.

Side note. JT must really hate playing the magic because he be skipping quite a bit of games.

Someone’s ego’s a little fragile

Use your eyes. If Tatum got hurt on that play then he's made of glass.

Nothing burger. He's playing.

I'll accept your apologies tomorrow night.

No ego here. I didn't realize a 54 million dollar a year player who never misses time with injury is going to bow out over a bone bruise that by the Celtics admission is only a pain tolerance issue.

I guess the rumors of him being soft were true. I apologize to Bad Thoma, he called it.

He’s never missed a playoff game & we’re already up 1-0 against a far inferior opponent. You were arrogant to tell everyone he was playing, found out he wasn’t & spat the dummy.

This is a Joe Mazzulla game, folks
Everyone saying Joe is a one trick pony, hi screen for JT, drive-kick and spam 3s
Tonight Joe gets a chance to throw some of the offspeed pitches he doesn't usually throw

LETS GO!

[Tyakack]

Who is gonna step up when we need it most? Brown? KP? White? Ill take anyone. Don't play dirty but if one of their players got hurt I might have to pretend to care.

[RB34]

Kinda concerned with Tatum not playing, he always plays. Hope it’s nothing, with the Brown injury our chances took a dive.

Going with White, personally. Guessing Al has a good game, too.

[Riverwalk2021]

Good start JB

[Tyakack]

If there was ever a time for Tatum to get hurt in the playoffs it's now. So there's that. Also, BROWN!

[phincsfan]

JB has that look tonight

[leper-con]

Basketball 101 stop the basketball magic running it down our throats at the moment

[Tyakack]

A little sloppy. The effort is there. Which I never doubted would be but still.

And you said they weren't winning it last year.

What's your point.

Atleast you picked them this year before anyone else did. 18 months ago

[phincsfan]

Is JT on the bench at least?

[Tyakack]

Brown looking to be physical tonight.

[phincsfan]

Porzingis causing havoc in the passing lanes

[Shak_Celts]

This is going to be a grinder, no chaser.

[Parliament10]

Celtics Starters playing with a little Purpose.

[The Corey's]

The Celtics are worlds better than the magic. They shouldn't have to grind this hard.

I think that they All step up. Bench too.

[bigfoot_cryptozoology]

Do the bold thing, Mazzulla,

[Shak_Celts]

Come on KP!
