Something doesn’t feel right with this team. Even when they were up by 18 they were playing mediocre ball. The regular season offense looks very very fluky in the playoffs just like last season

You have beautiful eyes, so don't even think about it... Toss the acid at Joe.

It didn't help that KP was out.

With no inside option, Cs went back to 2023 Celtics.

45 missed 3s is a playoff record.

Surprised Mazulla didn't draw up a turnaround 3 for Tatum from the logo.

Seen stiffer stuff served at Dairy Queen.

Tatum's a complete joke as a playoff performer. Too afraid to drive the paint and settles for jacking threes.

It's who he's always been. Play some good halves and show up small in the 4th.

Worst part is they have confidence now. Defensively they know they can lock these bitches up.

Let’s see if the phony unicorn can get over his **** and help this team in a series.

Joe Mazzula is garbage and proved it once again.

He is lucky that he plays on stacked team, so he can be in discussion for top 10 player in the league. And even some drunk posters will claim he is top 5 :lol:

He's got no moves other than stepback three, I'm disappointed with his lack of progress.

Why did they want a guy who was 1 for 9 with a gimby knee at that taking the last shot?

So many open 3s missed. Not worried other than them Tatum shooting with hands around his throat. It feels like he suddenly loses his shot in the playoffs against teams that are physical.

Watching Shai
Two plays - two attacks to the rim

JT should watch some tape

Probably because he’s the only one that made one in the last 10 minutes.

Man we really deserved to lose this one. Shot selection was terrible.

No. Watched it all (and I am on GMT+3, not like most of you, so I am entitled to bitch)
I just wonder why he choose to shoot contested 3s instead of penetrating, especially being guarder by Brunson and KAT. His default shot is a 3 while Shai's is a layup
That is the difference and my criticism

Also, bricked a contested 3 to win the game
Go to the basket, man

He can watch all the tape in the world, driving to the rim, be creative and knowing how to score even when defended is a gift you either have or you don't. Celtics don't have that type of player. Paul Pierce was a true closer and a player that takes over the game. Tatum doesn't have a lick of that esp when he wants to be like Kobe.....he's not even on the Pierces level. Sometimes these career resumes can fool someone.....
