and for the Billionth time I say it won't change because our coach is a coward. ZERO accountability.

It’s absolutely pathetic how the refs treat Tatum but fall for Bumass Adebayo flopping

Dunno how this would've turned out if Jimmy was playing. I'm just glad we pulled out a win. But that got ugly in the 4th.

What the hell are you talking about lol


The possession when Brown shot it with 1 minute and we got a lucky rebound... It's always the same **** bull where Tatum is looking for a shot, why can't we just move the damn ball... It's been the same stuff for 2 years and so dang predictable.
Good assessment:

The only great thing he did in this game is save that rebound in the end.

Totally horrible game for JB.

I can't tell whether JB is trying to do too much on his own or if Joe is telling him to do these things he's not great at intentionally. Didn't Joe say something about how he's been coaching only partly to win or some stuff

Joe Mazzulla doesn't care about my historic SRS and net rating.

Celtics have gotten great looks in crunch time all season, and guess whose the guy running the offense in those situations.

0 FTAs for Tatum is ridiculous.

Dude is always leaning away from people on shots instead of trying to go through them.
Definitely a couple missed calls but he won't get as many as he deserves playing that way.


He does that so he can make the shots lol, and probably why he shoots 72% at the rim.

Fine be me just don't cry about FT attempts if thats your style.

It's still JT. But KP massively changed our offensive dynamic and raised our ceiling on that end. Easily.

JB struggling against pressure and doubles is literally his entire career sample size.

He’s like 7th in the league in FT’s per game lol, so he very clearly knows how to draw fouls.
