PLAYOFFS, Rnd 2, Gm 2 – Cavaliers (0) @ Celtics (1) – 7PM, Thurs, May 9, 2024

I believe Payton Pritchard just called some of us casuals for wanting our best player to shoot better. I get Tatum's impact* yada yada yada, but I ALSO WANT HIM TO SHOOT BETTER. He's still taking up shots and scoring possessions, right? If that makes me a casual, so be it. We need Tatum to be more efficient scoring the ball once we face real teams in my casual opinion. Brown, White, and co. will have their off nights or will struggle against stingier defense. We better pray Tatum is on his **** on those nights.

That might be in the fall.

I personally am not worried about Tatum at all, then again I stated that I have 100% confidence in the Celtics this year. Still do. Everyone should just sit back and enjoy the show.

Seen this movie before esp not worrying about Tatum. I will keep worrying about him until that banner is raised. I've enjoyed "the show"/journey immensely. Fans just have different definitions of enjoyment.

Yep, hopefully with a different ending.

Per ESPN: The Celtics already have 4 wins of more than 20 points in this postseason. That ties them for the most 20+ point wins in an entire postseason in franchise history.

[will]

Wake me up when it’s time to face the Knicks.

That's probably the most concise way to put it.

This is a totally fair and reasonable take that many will lose their **** over.

I'm sticking with Celtics in 5 but if the Celtics blow them out in game 2 while still playing ugly ball I'll have to reconsider.

24 hours ago it was reported that he was in "excruciating pain" and having trouble "lifting his arms above his head." It doesn't sound real promising that he's going to play in this series. It seems like hes got something broken in his chest.

Bingo.

Upgraded roster massively, better seasoned, making the right plays, blowing out teams in the playoffs by an average of 20 points, Derrick White.

All without KP.

What’s not to love?

I’ll start critiquing when we actually lose a game playing badly. Which we haven’t done yet.

[KillahGhostface]

Don’t do it, reconsider.

LoVE seeing this !

Brunson (Butler) OG (Bam) DiVincenzo (Gabe Vincent) Josh Hart (Caleb f****** Martin) remind me ALoT of last year's PO Heat. All of these guys are in in sync and in rhythm right now !

Having Ktaps will get us over any hump and ensure victory

His shot is not falling right now, so what. My only issue with Tatum ever is his energy and grit, taking lazy shots and taking stretches oFF

I really liked Tatum's energy last night ! No stretches oFF despite having the game in hand all night ! He did take 3 or so 'lazy' shots but he played a very good all around game ...of course his shot will start falling, it always does ! I would rather he get his shot-struggle games out of the way now bc he will HaVE to hit jumpshots for us to beat Western conf champs !!!!

Here in Mexico game commentators speak spanish and they mistakenly said that Dean Wade was entering the game so I almost fell off the couch bc he and Merril sort of look alike. Wade hasn't played since that out of body experience he had against us ...they meant Merril wheEww ha ha

No Dwade
