Jason Tatum absolutely prison [loving] us.

Tatum killed us at the end of the 3rd but it’s still todays NBA, we’ll get it back to single digits

I'm sorry but you have to put people on their asses when they disrespect you. If they are going to call weak fouls, then floor them.

I miss bully ball.

Not happening. Once it hit back to double digits, the game was over. They weren't acting like punks when Mikal hit that 3, but with all calls going their way, they killed all that.

Didn’t see much of that from KAT tonite.

Kornet has the same 10 points as KAT & Precious & Huk combined.

This is embarrassing and a complete exposure of how far we have to go.

He was up for this game.

Or not lol … we miss OG and towns was an egg . We came out with zero intensity in that first quarter and that burned us . Gotta bring it for 4 quarters… defense was really disappointing and they picked on towns all night. Mitch would really help as well.
NYStateOfMind @ 2/8/2025 10:42 PM
WHY TF are our starters still in?????????????? I'm done, even the coach is losing. Later, I can't say good night.

Precious can't even stay on his feet tonight. Throw in the flag.

I think it says more about the importance of OG and Mitch. That’s 2 of our 3 best defensive players. We get them back, I’m guessing the net result is that we will be one of the best offensive and defensive teams in the league. Availability being the big question mark.

That was noticeable. Even Hart didn’t have his usual swagger.

Precious got seriously exposed tonight. This game is exhibit A, B and C why we need Mitch and OG healthy in the playoffs.

I don’t know about that. Precious is a sub, and he started against the world champs. The whole team was flat.

Thought Charlie Villanueva retired already. You trying to throw down the dunk up 30 with 1 min to go?

I'd agree if the Celtics didn't hit three pointers at will against us, regardless of who's guarding them. I mean what've they hit, something like 50 treys in our games against them? Bottom line is we've looked like a high school team in comparison.

It’s a different game because OG is an excellent perimeter defender and Mitch is a top notch rim protector and rebounder. KAT is a PF he is not a defensive Center. Precious looked horrible tonight. I hate to dump on the guy but against any team with size and athleticism he is a liability because he’s undersized and slow.

Gotta say a bunch of guys sucked tonight.

Specifically and I think it's been going on all year -- Josh Hart doesn't defend (he can't guard the ball or off ball).
Kat (yuck), Precious (yuck).

Celtics tried to take ball out of Kat's hands with doubles and allowed Hart to shoot --- along with 100 other issues we had.

Once again - scrub of night LUKE MOTHERFUDDIN KORNET --- protected paint like Bill Russell.

Roadblock in the East..with the Celts and Cavs in the way. Probably have a better shot v the 1st place Cavs..in a postseason series. Obviously..we need to be at full strength to have an outside shot.
