Cam!!!!

We needed Cam on the last play of regulation. He would have ran it in.

Theis would've had Bam sealed on that last play.

We have a lot to improve on especially defensively. They still gotta win 3 more which isn’t gonna be easy. I’m sure they will make better adjustments especially on defense with the way Kemba was looking lost every play. Just sucks to blow a game we had control of but we’ve seen this team comeback and responded against the raps in games 5 and game 7 when we needed to win.

We shall see but i still haven’t seen this team play their best basketball. They have been inconsistent at best.

Our best basketball is with Hayward and clicking on offense and defense.

If you're relying on Mr Glass, you are just clinging onto hope...

What team doesnt go to their best players down the stretch? Should it be ISO not necessarily but of course Tatum Kemba Jokic Murray Butler LeBron AD get the ball in crunch time. That's why you have them.

Our defense is why we lost this game.

Sure I think we are tired and they are more rested but it’s inexcusable to let them go 44% from 3.

Kemba will be fine.

You can’t hope for Hayward to come back and help out straight away let’s just play our solid defense for 48 minutes and out score them next game.

No one was beating the Lakers the second they got Davis. This sounds selfish but I'd rather see the Celticslose to the heat than loose to the Lakers.

The NBA is going to be a better place once LeBron retires because I was sick of his super teams 10 years ago

Exactly. Not the same explosion and bounce.

I much comfortable with hayward inside as our 3rd or 4th option on offense. Instead of the Kemba and JT isolation show. We need that extra playmaker, scorer and option.

Lets try to mimic Lebron and just brush off the game 1 loss and get ready for 4 straight wins or something. I am almost convinced Lebron often half asses game 1's over the years.

And if not then I will just kinda read the forum without speaking if we lose game 2 lol.

Should have been Tatum, but a better play than ISO up high.

Still not enough from JT although that's a great defensive team

The type of player that JT is capable of becoming should get better in the 4th not easier to defend

You knew this team was going to have at least one game in this series they should have won but didn't.. Let's hope this is the last one.

Do people really think that Hayward, who hasn't done anything meaningful for this franchise in three years, is going to come back and save the day?

That is literally the exact opposite of who Hayward is. He's going to take longer to come back than expected (already happening) and then play passively with zero confidence. That's who he is. And then he might leave the bubble again to watch the birth of his 20th kid, because he has no fire in his belly for the game of basketball.

Yep. You can't count on a wildcard to help them. If Hayward plays great. You have to play like he's out for the year. It will be hard but they have enough.

I‘m not expecting greatness from Hayward in this series but the bar is “can he be better than Ojeleye” and he’d have to be pretty **** up for the answer to be “no.”

We should be able to make the Finals without him if everyone steps up. But his return could certainly make it easier.

Kembas knee is definitely an issue, he is still quick, but there is zero explosion when driving to the hoop.

I’m predicting a 30 point game from Jaylen on Thursday.

Unless the Clippers can do it, I have often felt the Kobe death was going to emotionally propel the Lakers or something the second it happened.

And I felt horrible when Kobe died too. Like I still can't believe it happened.

We can beat the Lakers.

Tatum needs a redemption dunk on Bam next game. Only way to save face now.

Yes, they missed Theis on that last play. No one to seal off Bam.

As bad as the offense was youre spot on with the defense.

They stop Herro from hitting that three it's game over. They stop butler from hitting the three it's game over. They stopped Butler from scoring with that and one they likely win.

This team is always one or two failed stops away from winning a game.
