How many “worst loss of the season” are we going to have. This is fucking ridiculous. Team is definitely broken right now. Just have to hope they have some kind of switch to turn on. And fucking Marcus man! He’s been awful lately.
That last shot needed to be in Jaylen Brown’s hands
I’m sorry but if at this point you still aren’t concerned, you’re a fucking idiot.
that sucked to watch but it was worse to listen to
we suck, 3rd seed by next week
The fuck was that
TATUMM😭
How did he miss that layup?
Unserious team
Shoulda made that layup.
When Tatum is off he is all the way off
Tatum is getting incredibly frustrating to watch. He’s a terrible leader
Well, that sucked.
Should have audibled that for Jaylen, especially with Jabari out on Tatum past halfcourt
Jaylen had 43 and he didn’t even get the ball awesome
Tatum sold the hell outta that game
Whole team basically except for JB and Malc
Put that shit in the trash and bring effort vs Minny
Point BLANK miss from our “MVP”
Looking more like a 1st round exit than a title contender by the day. They better get their shit together.
Thanks Jaylen and Malcolm for showing up
Tatum should NOT get that last shot over Brown tonight. Period. Brown had it going all night.
Once another fake comeback to a team we should’ve never been down to
Why can we never give JB the final shot?
Why was the play not for brown
Damn didn’t even crack 30 in a quarter. Has to be our worst loss yet
The fact that JB had 43 points tonight and still didn’t earn taking the last shot is truly a crime.
I don’t even know what to say anymore
This guy is not clutch
Why does the guy who hadnt touched the ball for 7 minutes getting the last shot come on. Tatum was thinking bout his doordash order he was MIA all night
Just: wow.
This team has psych issues, plural. Unfortunate.
Did we really just lose to the fucking worst team in basketball
Everyone except JB and Brogdon should have to fly home in economy. Smart should be forced to take a bus. Awful
Our coach is a complete fool. How does brown not get a play drawn up for him? Inexcusable.
ran the same play third time this season. it was fucking telegraphed. this one is on joe. learn another play joe.
Every time the Celtics lose to a bad team because they weren’t taking them seriously I convince myself that THIS will be the time that they finally learn their lesson, but by now it’s pretty clear that this group just doesn’t want to get up for a game unless it’s against a contender.
fucking pathetic. Mazulla is not our guy
43 from JB and the ball goes to bum ass Tatum and he blows yet another layup
Is anyone surprised Tatum missed the last shot? Dude was a brick all night and misses a pretty open layup, at least by his standards. The lows get lower. We’re not keeping the #2 seed. #3 most likely but who knows. Cavs are surging too.
This team isn’t winning jack shit this year. We’ve gotten so soft and everyone has their way with us offensively now. Joe doesn’t know how to hold these guys accountable and Smart has reverted back to his worst habits. Thanks Ime for not being able to keep it in your pants
Brown is gonna request a trade soon like what more can he do to get considered for the last shot?
Coach sucks, point guard sucks, team is handicapping itself
these guys have achieved nothing and think they can just coast against bad teams. serious contenders dont do this shit which clearly they arent
This team is playing fundamentally unserious basketball right now. They’re going through the motions like a team that’s coming off a championship. It’s honestly gross.
Part of me is happy we lost the way we did lol. Tatum is nowhere near as good as he himself thinks or this sub thinks.
Perfect opportunity to close in on the Bucks, who could very well lose tonight and tomorrow. Blown. Infuriating to lose these easily winnable games.
We ain’t winning shit in June.
This type of game, and every post-ASB game, showcases the Celtics are not mentally tough enough to win 4 playoff series in a row. And that’s not exclusive to just this year, but ever with this current core.
