Celts Order a 6 Piece But Only Get 5! Loss vs Nuggets 3/7

[Green89]

Hate on Tatum all you want but when the team is taking a three pointer, down by 1, with a 3 vs 1 INSIDE the paint, you wonder what the coach is doing all week.

Tatum nuke that fast break with dumbass lob pass to Brown. This game is entirely on him. The rest of the team showed up when it mattered except Tatum

That happens because they're practicing 60 threes a game.

They don't know how to do a 3 on 1 fast break because it's not what they're practicing.

Tatum blew two fast breaks where we had numbers in crunch time.

I hate the coach.Maybe more than anyone on here but this game had Very little to do with our clueless coach.

This game was on tatum and brown..

I'm not blaming the coach for the game. I'm blaming the coach for the dumb decisions to team continues to make.

No it happened because Tatum was completely in his own head and scared of blowing yet another layup.

Maybe they should practice fast breaks and inside game every now and then.

When the 3s fall they win. When they don't they lose.

So basically. 50/50.

He panicked like always. When he panics he does stupid **** and starts rushing.

Nope. It happens because they have the greenlight to take the 3 no matter what.

[Lee Van Cleef]

I don’t think we, or another team, stand a chance against them. Maybe Suns, but definitely not us.

He wouldn't attack the rim, he passed when he shouldn't have, he missed a clutch free throw, didn't box out, he blew fast breaks. Every possible aspect in crunch time Tatum failed at tonight. Extremely disappointing is an understatement.

[GrandTheftRondo]

People being negative after this are hilarious. We literally gave the game away with missed layups and free throws and Denver barely took it.

No, they’re being realists.

This is just a sneak preview of what we can expect from the bed **** in a playoff series or finals series against an elite team.

Jaylen Brown inexplicably missing 100 FTs, Tatum turning into Tobias Harris, Porzingis being bullied etc

[CelticsPride18]

Tatum has been Brock Purdy against Mahomes vs Denver

Purdy was much better than Tatum was tonight

Complete sick of the excuses people make for him

You ain't taking Joe over Tatum.

Knock it off.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

JB was HUGE, great game from him. Without question those missed FTs were **** but we weren't in this game without him.

KP had a decent game too, there were a couple of times he possibly shouldn't have gone for a 3 but again was decent.

White was pretty much a non-factor neutral, was hoping he'd go for it more when others didn't have it, also thought he was ordinary on the defensive end which is unusual.

Hauser was ok in small minutes.

Jrue ordinary except late.

Horford, PP and Tillman were ordinary.

JT looked scared of the moment. 5 turnovers to go with 8 assists, 15 points on 13 shots and half his usual amount of rebounds. He sucked compared to what we need from him in games like this...

Joe's timeouts were generally good, sometimes I wanted different lineups but hard to assess when so many good players don't show up to the level you need them to.

Disappointing, but good reality check.

[playa-hater]

Someone else needs to point out that while k.P is extremely talented.He does tend to be a soft finesse player often.

Can Boston win with its best 2 players Tatum And k p arguably being soft and finesse like??

**** that. Down the stretch everyone when to war except **** Tatum. We got stops and executed beautifully on offense until Jayson got the ball on a fast break.

I don’t give a **** about Joe.

I’m pointing out that our star player the guy people continually try and paint as comparable to Giannis, KD etc continually pisses his pants in close games.

How many more seasons of this BS do we need to watch to realise this?

His 2022 finals were merely a clear showing of who he is and people tried to put it down to injuries and fatigue.

[Browerkid79]

Is it just me thinking this or did the Celtics get the worst whistle I have seen them get in a long time?

[Green89]

Bench points:

Denver - 28
Boston - 10

A giant LOL to all those who made posts in the trade thread for weeks on end, saying our bench is all we need for the playoffs.

[Parasite]

Seriously doubt this team is beating Denver in a series

I’ve seen enough of Tatum in big games. Dude is a complete wimp and deserves every bit of hate he gets.

Another complete no show from him against the Nuggets because just like Miami they throw bodies in his way and he **** his pants.

Embarrassing FT shooting from Jaylen Brown.

Porzingis is one soft mother ****. Not even talking offensively. Jacked way too many jumpers when he had midgets on him.

Another season where the record is a bit of a mirage as to how good we really are.

I have to sadly agree with most of this. Tatum isn’t it. He just doesn’t have what it takes in the biggest games. I’d loved to be proven wrong this playoffs. I know you didn’t mention Joe, but I’m sorry, he isn’t ready for prime time. He allows this team to keep making dumb decisions in crunch time. A good coach would’ve nipped that in the bud ages ago.

Best offense in NBA history.

They're gonna be fine.

I doubt they even getting a game 7
