Boy, I hope you are right! Not sure if 3 more wins is going to do it.

tatum's scoring ability has completely fallen off a cliff & i dont know if he's hurt or just completely gone mentally but if he doesnt fix it asap this team is going nowhere. he's been a terrible shooter in the playoffs for two straight years

once they get that 4th win in this series I'm going to start feeling good about their chances of winning this series.
but I wonder if I'll feel confident in Jayson Tatum showing up to finish out this series strong at that point in this series??

I'm still worried about whether we can close out Miami.

Six more wins ought to do it.

this year is below average so far; last year was fine except for his 3pt %:

last season in 20 playoff games Tatum shot 46/32/88.
this year through 7 games he's at 41/27/82
his 101 career playoff games he's 44/35/83

The 3s are the issue. He shoots too many 3s for a guy who cant make them at a good clip. he was a much better 3 point shooter before the finals run. something is off with him ever since the finals against GSW

They might win the series, but I'm not really confident in a title anymore, to be quite honest. I just don't see it with Tatum playing like this.

This ain’t Miami where they will walk in there and get two wins. They got themselves a bar fight now after giving all those mediocre players confidence that they can beat their asses to a pulp.

Jayson Tatum’s post game interview was **** depressing. Not even 19 year old Tatum looked that flat. Brown and White are going to have to carry, specially with that dead weight loser Jrue Holiday walking around and doing **** all.

I come to this board every once in a while, wonder why I only post in the gb, and am reminded why almost instantly.

It's crazy how much the fanbase actually hates this team. Always negative, always aggressive, coach is always trash, stars are always just burnt out comets, GM always an idiot.

Oh But Mike and Tommy are great...

Hope people actually enjoy the game this Saturday, and shout out to the fans who are just enjoying the ride

It’s a theme now since the 2022 finals. Everyone can come to the TD Garden and punked bitchass Tatum. Even bums like Herro and Caleb Martin.

No KP as well. It’s a different feeling being 1-1 this series with the best player being Mitchell vs being 1-1 vs an injured Heat team and having all our weapons out there.

Celtics are gonna have to fight and give maximum effort to beat this Cavs team. At some point Tatum really has to **** be the best player on the court. And you’re right about holiday, just a zero when it comes to scoring even with a million space, not sure why the Celtics gave him that contract at his age..

Don't like the excuses pic in Lakers colors :dontknow:

Oh and play better than last time... a lot better... on both ends... or we riot... more than we're already rioting.

That's all I've got

Tatum is getting absolutely roasted in the media, and he deserves every single bit of it after that pathetic shooting & garbage ass press conference. Stop making excuses and prove you’re the best player on the team. Stop being a front runner

I have infinitely more confidence in this team on the road which is good but also sad

Blow it up, trade everyone for second round pics. Sell Brad to the highest bidder. Rent Kornet out to change light bulbs and install tree toppers.

I'm not sure we can get any second round picks for anyone. Maybe we can get a late third??
