He's a ball stopper who can't pass or dribble. He can hit some tough shots yes, that not enough to offset how many dumb plays he makes.

They will use the built in excuse Tatum got injured. Absolutely embarrassing.

OK, great post yet. Where were you and others when I said this all year long.

I felt like I was left on an island.. I said all year long. Joe's needs superior talent to get his victories. But when he doesn't have it. His lack of actual coaching abilities lead to games like this.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Did they forget game 7 against Miami. The **** number 8 seed?

Short memories around here.

This version of the team is far closer to what we've had over the last decade then what we had last year.

The reality is they’re nowhere near the NBA’s best without Tatum.

It’s not rocket science.


Even with him they are front runners.

It's time for people to get over it. Tatum is a beta.

Brown leads the team in assists even though his teammates are shooting 24%

He shouldn't be forcing things. Drive and dish. It works.
It's not working though.

He is not doing that. He is trying to win it by himself and it is resulting in a lot of turnovers.

We don't have the players to play differently as we don't have a true pg, and porzingis is out.


I want Frederic Weiss off my team. The money though. How can they get rid of him.

Let’s be honest. While the doom patrol is having fun, the reason why they kept getting smacked by Miami was in part because Marcus Smart believed he was a true number 1 option to the point where he almost single-handedly shot them out of the 2022 ECF. They blew some leads and it’s tough to repeat. Also tough to do it with Tatum and KP apparently not at 100%. Bring it back next year, make some slight tweaks, work as a 3 seed and Tatum suits up again in April.

Yea, it's more disappointing in a way
because Kyrie had no fight in him
&
tonight our guys had fight. Like Jrue, White, PP none of them had 2019 Kyrie's attitude
where it almost looked like Kyrie was intentionally missing shots
and intentionally letting Giannis go by him for easy baskets

imo, this game isnt to THAT LEVEL but has the same feeling

Are you surprised?

This team watched their best player go down with a catastrophic injury potentially shutting the window on this whole thing.

They had an emotion driven performance in game 5 in front of the home fans but of course it was going to catch up to them eventually.

They were a joke in games 1,2 and 4 I won’t deny it but the criticism tonight is unhinged.

This is not a good team without Tatum.

Didn't help using him so much all year long. Instead of developing other players in rotation. So what is Shock during the playoffs? Everyone on boston looks tired.

I said it throughout this season. I hated joe forward and now it's coming to fruition.


He averaged 30 minutes & missed 20 games in the regular season.

Your hatred for Joe is unhealthy dude.

Have you ever watched this team play outside of last year?

When have the Tatum Celtics ever been blown off the court in the playoffs?

Please enlighten me


Is Game 4 of last year’s final too far back for you to remember nephew?
