Celtics have some serious chemistry issues.Once Jaylen starts out hot it’s like he gets frozen out of the offense by his own teammates and I love Smart’s defense but it seems that he thinks the 1-2 punch is him & Tatum smh Celtics win like 90% of their games when Brown & Tatum score 30
Boston is screwed now, they really need to win game 6 on the raod if they want to stay in this series
