The Dubs played faster and harder than we did tonight.
They were in a hole and it showed. They're still in a hole.
Gotta respond better in game 3.
That's the Way of the World

For all of Green's antics, Warriors just +7 with him on the court in a blowout win. It was really their all around defense that broke the game open. I don't think the Celtics should underestimate it.

Smart/Horford/JB all had bad games.

Nothing softer than having to use a burner.


Lol at your obsession with burners and "calling out" anyone who doesn't give this team glowing reviews for blowing 3rd quarter after 3rd quarter and certain players playing softer than baby food. Every other Boston sports fanbase can be objective about their teams except Celtics fans for whatever reason. :crazy: :noway:

the 2nd biggest thing after turnovers (jays, smart, al and dwhite had 16 of them), was how poorly smart and al played. you can get through one starter looking like that on offense, not 2. The ball wasn't hopping like it should have tonight and that's largely on smart (tat lesser) because he is the PG. You have to do more, it's not about assists, it's about the ball getting to guys that are not the jays (36 shots). Our entire team before our other others went in took less than 30 (34 total, but some by pritch and white were garbage time) and 13 were from white. that's not good offense.

Same with Horford at 6'10 5 ft from the hoop. McHale would've eat all day. Horford shriveled up.


I mean if we ignore defensive schemes, sure. But let’s not pretend it’s as simple as putting your head down and going to the rim. And you know that, I’m sure lol.

I may disagree with you, but at least you post this stuff on your main account, unlike the large numbers of posters hiding on their burners to be negative. That is what is actually soft.

Just calling it as I see it.

If you want to win a championship, you have to be tough! That means taking contact and finishing.

Right now,career wise, Tatum does not seem like he wants to take any contact. He complains everytime he drives!

And IMO, Horford has no post game...and that sucks in a 6'10 guy when he has smaller players on his back.


Its not want with Tatum, It is how. It is just not a natural part of his game. It will come with time.

Tatum is getting to the line 8 times a game in the playoffs, he’s driving plenty. He’s just not finishing as well as he can when driving the ball, needs to be better there. The complaining thing is annoying, but also hasn’t really been an issue since the middle of the Heat series. He just needs to play better, not a soft thing lol.

As for Al, post up scoring has just never been his game. He brings so much good everywhere else, that you gladly take the trade off.

I find it funny, I have critiqued plenty of folk/team and haven't been "called out," but I have been disagreed with. criticism abounds in this thread and no one else has been "called out." So many people critique the Cs just fine and no one cares (except debate). is it really simply criticism that people are taking issue with?

Its funny how this team has made the finals, something no one would have predicted, but now they are soft or lazy.

I call out players plenty, and you never see me call out good posters for being negative. I just want substance, but that’s too much to ask for from some of these clowns.

The entire team was bad. Not a single player was good
