Move on.
Went cold wade went white hot.

Bad loss.

Oh well. Was due for a bad quarter

[redbeamer]

Has the no TO Joe strategy ever worked? Why do we keep doing the same dumb **** hoping for a different result?

[playa-hater]

Might be my last Post until the game ends. Phone about to die but wow resilience.. Playing sloppy as hell but still coming on strong.

Eighteen point lead when I couldn't post no more and now we **** lost.. **** sick..

[Patsfan1081]

Tatum slowly walking up the ball piss running down the shorts killing the WHOLE CLOCK only down 1 with with 2 **** timeouts.

Mazzulla trash ass coach

Then Mazzulla tries to call one with 2 seconds left.

[MSTRJMES]

Hey Tatum..YOU ARE NOT KOBE YOU ARE NOT AN MVP
I can think of so many other people that I would want to take the last shot with the game on the line.
F’ng pathetic

[KamikazeK]

See you guys in the playoffs. I'm done with this regular season now, I have no interest in anything that happens from here.

[Green89]

Why did we play that like it was tied?

I guess that they didn't want the Cavs to get the ball back?

Exactly.

That's NEVER the way you should play an end of game like that. Absolutely NEVER.

[Shamrock23]

This is what I'm afraid of what's gonna happen to the Celtics in the playoffs. They will panic and play carelessly. Also Tatum need to learn how to finish those layups, it's an unacceptable tonight. We choked tonight big time. Oh well, as long as we don't do this **** in the playoffs or we'll be the talk of the world.

[Hal14]

I guess that they didn't want the Cavs to get the ball back?

Exactly.

You worry about getting the lead first, if you don't score it's irrelevant if the Cavs get the ball back or not.

So rush your shot?

We got the ball with 18 seconds left. That's 4 seconds less than a regular possession. By using up all (or at least most) of those 18 seconds, you give yourself more time to work the ball around for a quality shot attempt - and you leave less time on the clock for the other team..

[Jerboski]

Biggest concern about this team showed its head

Close game at the end, who can be the guy. Love Tatum but he is awful at last possession Shots, one of the worst I’ve seen

[Kalela]

Mazulla sucks

Brad put together a good team but I assure you they won't win anything because of Mazzulla.

[TheMartian]

That's your coach for you.

Calling a timeout with 2 seconds left?

Refs **** them anyway. They scored on the put back and now they lose over a bull non foul foul called.

Exactly this. Putback was supposed to count because there was time left.

[Jakeopp]

I wouldn't hate it if we went to Zinger at the end of games

We've been doing this for years, I'm giving up hope on end of game creativity. Instead we're doomed to watching Tatum take contested fadeaways at the buzzer for the rest of his career in Boston.

[BRUNiNHO91]

Oh look who pops up as soon as the team struggles a tiny bit

Even somebody with Joe’s nuts deeeep in their throats should be pretty stunned at such stupidity today lol

Watched enough of Tatum and Brown over 7 years to know they’re moronic at times and shoot teams back into games.

But sure pop up for your usual Joe whinge after being anonymous for weeks when we win 11 straight.

I was here in the Dallas game. I was here for the GSW game. Not my fault you only lay attention when Mazzula’s name is mentioned lol

Brown wasn’t even in the game til like 5 min left lol Brown and Tatum also let them run down 19 seconds of the clock at the end

[RB34]

Had two timeouts and didn’t use one.

These are the same issues we’ve had. Success is masking the cracks that are going to appear in the playoffs.

Same thing over and over.

[Triple7]

Tatum slowly walking up the ball piss running down the shorts killing the WHOLE CLOCK only down 1 with with 2 **** timeouts.

Mazzulla trash ass coach

Tatum trash ass superstar. Dumb af!

[jfs1000d]

If they don’t win the titles and they lose games like in the playoffs, head coach gott go.

So much wrong with that last play. Does anyone trust this team in close games like this one? They also basically got screwed by the refs originally calling a foul.

There's so much wrong with that foul call management. Bad luck but deserved to lose

He still had 2 timeouts left. It’s totally unacceptable no matter what Tatum did. And trust me, Tatum and his absolutely pathetic decision-making at the end of games deserves to get roasted just as hard.

He's not made for this and yet, he keeps getting the last shot which by the way were mostly stupid forced shots.
