Tatum not being able to dunk the opening possession just killed them, can’t believe he got hurt on the first play

Over.

Now that it's over, watch Tatum pad his 12 points.

Fucking shit stains down everyone's leg not named Derick White.

Coward losers.

Well if we lose, we'll lose in the most 2023 Celtics way: Brown turnovers and clanking threes. Smart can add some dumb stuff, too.

Feel awful for Tatum. That first play doomed us, but he tried to gut it out. Brown just played like flaming duck shit.

Need shot creation. Smart post-up or Brogdon? Simply need to create and Tatum can’t and Jaylen wont.

Basically been pretty healthy all year. Brogdon’s arm is fucked in G1 and Tatum rolls his ankle in G7.

I fucking hate Pat Riley so much. God damn it.

Damn first play of the game.
We moved the ball too many times.
Couple guys passed up shots leading to Tatum getting hurt.
Team just never put it together after that moment.

The Celtics don’t protect the ball, don’t move the ball, don’t go after the ball, etc etc. They are tentative yet reckless at the same time. Coming back from 3-0 was cool for a few days but will be quickly forgotten. What a sorry performance at home, yet again.

Played the game with 6 men, not the usual 8 . Grant hasn't helped, Brogdon shouldn't have played at all. One of the 6 sub par clearly. Other star simply awful. All she wrote, I'm afraid.

Will try to convince myself that this is just means more of my shrinking free time can be spent on Diablo 4 instead of this frustrating ass team.

He plays well against shitty teams
That's unfair. Against Philly last series he averaged 22.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, while shooting 54.1% from the floor. He's a terrific player, but he's been godawful tonight when they really needed him to step up.

Jaylen Brown: 6-18 FG, 1-6 from three, 4 PF, 7 turnovers

In a game where Tatum gets hurt on the first play and is clearly a shell of himself, the Celtics' other all-NBA player needed to step up. And he just absolutely disappeared, and worse than that, actively hurt Boston's chances with a ton of negative plays.

What a basketball catastrophe.
Yup
If they happened to Bird, Mchale would have scored 30, grabbed 17 boards and played all-nba defense
