Being down 6 points after playing like ****, I'll take it.
Good assessment:

Could have been much worse.
Kemba looked nice.
Marcus our best player.
JT looks like early in the year before he exploded just pre-COVID. He really needs these 8 games to get it back.... or we are ****.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

We did? I don't think they said that on my feed. Or I missed it.

Strange game. I don't feel too bad about being down 6 right now. If only Tatum could have suited up.

Tatum looked like a rookie out there during that first half. Hopefully he’s more aggressive offensively. Id also like to see him help out Smart and try to go at Giannas, on both ends.

Jaylen should look to get into the paint more often. Good things happen when he does.

Gordon... oh Gordon.

We couldn't played a worse 1st half and yet we're down only 6. We're still in this if the Jay's can get their heads out of their asses.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Only down 6 while Tatum has one point is incredible

Damn, that's one ugly **** game. But we benefited from all those free throws and we're down just 6 with Tatum not even hitting his stride, so I'll take it.

Do you thing in the 2nd half, JB and JT! I hope my concern rays reach you!!!

Why didn't Brad challenge that foul?


If I'm not mistaken I think you only get one challenge a half, maybe one a game.

That said really happy MIL has allowed us to have this be a game. It was kinda annoying being down 15+

Classic Wanamaker and Smart leading this team to glory :upsidedown face:

SIx point game...we'll take it. Tatum needs to actually do something in this upcoming 2nd half.

I was about to make the point that Hayward needs to play Middleton to at least a draw to beat the Creamers, but then I noticed that Tatum has only 3 points at halftime.

So that might be a bit of a problem.

I think JT will make a pleasant adjustment.

Refs need to chill on both ends. Celtics have only taken 29+ FTA in 15 games and already have that at halftime.


Lakers Clippers last night was a foul fest too

Really gonna need you Tatum, once Kemba's minutes run out. This game is very winnable.
