Yeah those people are lame IMO. Kobe was his idol growing up. They need to get over it.

It’s kinda like when people look down upon grown men wearing another man’s jersey…im sensing that same hate.. But Tatum was just a little kid looking up to Kobe like he was a superhero

Didn’t know he moonlighted as a fullback with the way he set those picks.
Cs need to MATCH OR LEVEL-UP that intensity. They really can’t let all the BS calls get the best of them and the TOs just exacerbated the problem.
Kind of hoping they’d also steal G2 just to give them some breathing room coming back to Boston, but it’s all good. Now they need to start off these two games with a bang and finish both strongly.

yeah i mean i wasnt sure about that little mix up with JB but even before that like
Sharpshoeter13
said, he was just running people over. i feel like if we did that (or anyone else on GSW even) it'd be called. so just weird to see that. that said i half expected the game to be called that way...BOS up 2-0 heading back to the Garden isn't what the league wanted

Man I don’t know why Tatum settles for those Kobe turn around jumpers when Steph Curry is guarding him..happened like five times. Or the fact that they keep backing off Curry on the three-point line.

hopefully not overreacting but dropping the game feels like we blew our chance at this thing. we had them...and then 3 points in that final stretch of the game? ugh
i dunno why we hate winning two in a row

I was cautiously optimistic about their chances last night, and to your point about winning TWO games straight, I thought that they’d finally break out of that trend.
Those last five minutes took YEARS off my life man. They keep shooting themselves on the foot whenever they slow **** down especially with slim leads. I still don’t understand how they suddenly couldn’t run MANAGEABLE plays to close out the game like easy 2s or whatever.

its funny when people in the main playoff thread start to notice all of the celtics bad habits. The same bad habits that i have been mentioning all season yet some of us want to make excuses for.

C's need a ball handler!
Turnovers are kind of unbelievable. I know the Dubs have really good D but yikes.

I’ve already come to terms after another late game collapse. I can’t put myself through the BS since apparently they just don’t care enough to get their **** together.
Also, I don’t even know where to start regarding their plans for next season.
But I agree with you,
getback
, a ball-handler would do wonders for this team.
I’ve had it with Marcus lmaooo.

Marcus the very definition of a gift and a curse. He's one of my favorites though, just for his heart and determination. I love that quality in athletes.

agreed 100%. they need a true PG but that isn't going to try and outshoot Brown/Tatum. pure facilator/defender with some juice when you need it.
speaking of handles though...i feel like JB loses the ball on half his drives to the hoop. two in a row last night that were right in the middle of where we blew the game late. i've noticed him losing it quite a bit on drives but not sure if its a last couple months thing or whole season thing

The theme for this year’s team is taking the hardest path possible. CELTICS IN 7!!

Yeah JB really needs to tighten up his handles if it's not too late. Needs to make quicker decisions too. Hopefully puts in that work this Summer. He's gotten better every year, so I'm still hopeful.

I want him to improve his defense off the ball. Great defender on the ball, but man, his rotations are atrocious at times.
