strus wasn't set. his feet and body never stopped moving. he just kept moving backwards, right up until the contact was made with tatum. that can't be a charge, can it?
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Tatum completely mentally checked out the entire 4th

His more worried about getting the ref to call a foul every play and staring them down then focusing on the game

This is extremely concerning

The Celtics don’t need another star player is ridiculous and proven to be fault. Even Wyc and co don’t believe that.They need another star player especially to prevent Tatum from being doubled/ triple teamed

Tough to win against really good teams when Grant Williams is your starting pf.

Well we choked this away on our own but WTF are they talking about with that call? Strus had no position and just got in Tatum's way. BS.

Refs got in Tatum's head today..they gave him nothing.


Something like 50-60% of foul/non-fouls would be reversed if you reversed the roles of the players involved. That's how much reputation factors into calls.

It is not concerning. Game is physical.

This loss is on Smart. The reason we were so successful was because he was taking shots when he only needed to.

Hard to win when smart is shooting next level bad and grant playing one of his worst games this season. On top of that brown blew layups to tie the game multiple times. Didn’t get much out of Pritchard or white scoring wise but white can barely even score.

All this tells me if it isn’t clear that Timelord is our second most impactful player.

Bone headed decisions by the Celtics. A lot of them. Refs have been trash tonight too.

So conceding the Toronto game by Resting the young jays is turning out to be a disastrous move..

We shouldn't have lost either game and we blew it.

It can if you plow through the guy, they have a right to be on the court. It's just not going to be one unless you get hit square in the chest
