[Ed Hillel]

Eek

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Tatum!

 

[Bergs]

lol

OK.

 

[Ed Hillel]

White is GOAT

 

[JCizzle]

WHITE!!!!!!

 

[The Mort Report]

OK.

Wait, I for sure thought you were joking, that was serious?

 

[PedroKsBambino]

White vs Trae is such a mismatch---White gets inside every single trip.

 

[joe dokes]

White is John Havlicek. Does everything.

 

[Nator]

Man, I live me some Derrick White. We would be so screwed without him.

 

[Strike4]

White is John Havilcek. Does everything.

He's closing this game!

 

[timelysarcasm]

I just watched a couple minutes of this. Tatum is the softest superstar I've ever seen.

I would trust him with my loved ones. I don't want that out of my Alpha Dog.

I thought you were joking and I was amused! This was serious??

This is the dumbest thing I've read on this board in awhile. And we're all a little dumber for having read it.

 

[JCizzle]

Was White getting MVP chants?? I fucking love it if so.

 

[djbayko]

MVP chant for White.

 

[128]

Good thing ATL doesn't have big guards, or White would be unplayable in the fourth.

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

BIG AL HORFORD

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Dat pass

 

[ifmanis5]

Alllll for 333333!

 

[ragnarok725]

Holy shit that pass

 

[TripleOT]

White, Most Versatile Player

 

[SteveF]

That was a hell of a pass off the dribble.

 

[JCizzle]

That camera angle sucks, but is also awesome at showing how crazy good these dudes are. How did Tatum see that?

 

[The Mort Report]

Tatum with the SOFT pass!

 

[Devizier]

The Celtics are quietly extinguishing the Hawks tonight.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Average Al!

Great confidence and awareness by Tatum not panicking there.

 

[djbayko]

This is the dumbest thing I've read on this board in awhile. And we're all a little dumber for having read it.

...I award you zero points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

 

[joe dokes]

Good thing ATL doesn't have big guards, or White would be unplayable in the fourth.

Good thing he wasn't in a car wreck before the game.

 

[Bergs]

Wait, I for sure thought you were joking, that was serious?

I was joking in the sense that I want the best player on the Celtics to murder my family, yes.

I was not joking in that every time I turn on a Celtics game (which granted, isn't often), I get the sense that Tatum doesn't have a killer instinct, as good as he is.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Atlanta probably can’t play much better and it’s 17 with 3 to go.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

It's like the plane has been circling Blowout City for half an hour, but the tower can't quite fit them in.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Playing real offense here is a good sign.

he has calm eyes tho

You should hang out in other threads more. I've posted dumber shit than that.

 

[dhellers]

Does JDM dare to give his bench a bit of a run? 4 points or lead per minute remaning is a reasonable criteria.

I would highly suggest not coming into a game thread, admitting you don't watch the C's much, and coming with a comment that has no basis in reality regarding a guy that will likely finish 4th in the NBA MVP voting this season.

It's absolutely an absurd take.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

ALFRED J. HORRRRRRRRRRRFORRRRRRRRRRRRRD!

 

[TripleOT]

Tito Horford sighting.

At least two Celtics have seven foot tall fathers, AL and JB

 

[joe dokes]

Atlanta probably can’t play much better and it’s 17 with 3 to go.

Right. It's the playoffs. Nobody sucks.
The lesser team might win a game. But usually it's "play their asses off and never really get *that* close."

He scored 46 in a back against the wall game 6 on the road against the defending champions just 11 month ago. Good Lord this take sucks.

TL has to be at least as tall as Tatum?

 

[Justthetippett]

They are not a very smart team. Way too many turnovers. They have made a bunch of prayers tonight.

 

[Ale Xander]

MVP

You know what we always need more of around here? Takes from people who don't watch the team.

He doesn't emote like almost every other star. Doesn't mean he lacks the killer instinct

 

[Ale Xander]

Good night, Irene

You should watch more Cs. Highly enjoyable.

OK. I trust your take as much as anyone's around here. I hate the modern NBA, and am on record as saying as much. But I do get sucked in during playoff time. I'll be happy to have JT hoist the MVP award in a couple months.

 

[Nator]

This one is ovah.

 

[benhogan]

White = Koji

 

[dhellers]

Give the bench some minutes!!!

4 ECFs, 1 Finals, and an ECF MVP all before he turned 25. Imagine how good they'd be if he had that "killer instinct".

 

[PedroKsBambino]

KILLER dunk.
