Brunson continues to be clutch. Tatum, are you the next Hali!?

When he hits the game winner you'll see the top 5 talks again.

The collective talent on this Celtics team is second to only like the Durant Warriors.

Celtics are defending Hart like he’s Ben Simmons, I think Brunson should’ve passed it to him and let him take a wide open shot.

Does anyone have any confidence that BOS can score in this final possession considering how bad they have been all game

This is a good showcase of what happens when you rely on non-elite 3pt shooters in immense volume without supplementing with other types of offense, for sure.
