The Celtics went brain dead. Brown and Tatum were on cloud nine or something

Kat got lucky but it is the correct call by the ref. Tatum still have a final chance to redeem himself. Make the 3 to send this game to a 2nd OT!!

The way the Celtics play is analytically correct but when they're missing shots it is just brutal to watch.

Don’t let Derrick white get the shot. Just fouls quickly for 2 shots

I know fouling up 3 is usually right, but Boston had nothing going. And it wasn't even a foul for free throws. Now Boston can regroup.

At this point just foul them. 2 shots and no chance of rebounding setting and getting a shot.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Up 3, and I would foul. But Thibs doesn't know he can do that.
