    I’m done with this fckn team. I’m sick of seeing them turn up to post game press conferences and talk about how they’ve learned lessons from last season and they’re “locked in” and not taking any games lightly……….then turn in pathetic fckn performances again and turn up to the press conference and talk the same shit over and over.

    They can’t fck off…….unprofessional.

    They just insist on making things as hard as possible for themselves………instead of sweeping a team or going 5 games they’d prefer to half arse it and now look like making it a possible 7 game series in round 1

    They won’t win shit again this season

    Frauds. But what did you expect with a 34 rookie coach with 0 experience and an incompetent leadership and ownership making dumb decisions. Force Wyc and Brad out like the Suns. They are back to being favorites in the West

  3. Luka

    You have to force out at least Wyc just like the Suns did with their owner and are back as a favorite in the West. He and Brad got a team with championship expectations a rookie coach with 0 experience. Bucks might be out in first round. Perfect opportunity for Banner 18 and they won't even make the finals? Unforgivable.

  4. Luka

    They got them Brogdon and a 34 rookie coach who doesn't play him in the most important moments. Along with White. So basically they didn't add anything since the last finals collapse. Yup.

    Buh bye Jaylen Brown 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    This garbage team will never win anything
    Jayson Tatum got what he always wanted, an All star MVP….only thing he played the season for ha

  8. Ken Lee

    Brian Scalabrine is spot on! jeeezz it's not the first time we've seen this Tatum no killer instinct to finish off a weaker team

    This is a terrible game to choke away. If hawks just have a hot streak game 6 at home suddenly it’s game 7. Celts ran out of gas in the finals last year cause they played some unnecessary game 7s history repeats

  12. Nicholas Easter

    That was a disgraceful performance from Tatum. I was worried about our stagnant late game offense and closing lineups. When is that JV coach gonna learn to close with White and Brogdon ffs

    Celtics needs to blow out teams to win because a close game they seem to struggle. If Hawks can keep it close in Atlanta this series will be tied

    Nah they gave him a lot of space to pull up. Inexcusable. Yeah, it shouldn't have gotten to that point, but if you still have a chance to get a stop and win the game, play defense. Get a damn stop. The Celtics can't get consistent stops.

    Celtics needed this loss imo. They've been doing this all season, unable to finish strong and closing out games. They needed this loss to constantly remind them that they have to play solid for the whole 48 minutes. I'd rather see them struggle this time of the playoffs and make their adjustments rather than when they're more up there. It's all good, they got this. ☘️

    It blew my mind as a Hawks fan that Boston started taking jump shots up by 13 with 6 min to go & then the melt down by Marcus Smart was the tipping point. I think the Hawks will lose game 6 because Murray coming back means less ball control by Young. Young needs the ball the entire game to do his thing with Assist & Points. Hawks trading for another ball dominate PG was so stupid. I like Murray but you cant have 2 ball dominate point guards sharing the entire game. You saw tonight how Young plays when's the offense runs through him the entire game.
