Celtics/NBA 2023-2024 NBA Finals - Celtics lead series 3-1 - Game 5 Monday at TD Garden

[EverettMike]

Pritchard effortlessly swishing it from three after the whistle was a personal attack on me.

 

[pgm16]

Maybe Tatum will get a call the next series

 

[Mione134]

Literally can't have Pritchard on the floor with Luka.

I f***ing hate Peyton Pritchard who has never hit an open three in a playoff game.

Put Tatum on Doncic.

Pretty sure he has many times lol

 

[EverettMike]

(He made some nice plays before that at least.)

 

[EverettMike]

Tatum only draws calls when he's passing.

 

[EverettMike]

Double Doncic every time and let their role players try and beat you.

A single covered Doncic is more dangerous than a wide open any other Mav.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Tatum scared to shoot.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Solid half. Jayson Simmons just has to be a distributor he’s still ridiculously good even not hitting outside shots.

This is Browns game to take over and outplay Luka. He needs to cover him too.

 

[BernieMcAvoy]

Just terrible awareness from Tatum in that final possession. You can't pass up an open 3 like that when you have it. Starting to get a little worried this is a repeat of the 22 finals, the playmaking is there but he just looks like he's in his own head with the scoring.


Celtics should consider this a blessing, they aren't playing well and they're up 3 at halftime. They haven't been bad but capable of way more. Shooting 20% from 3, Tatum is shooting 20% from the field, White 33%. Jrue has stepped up but Tatum needs to start making some shots.

 

[EverettMike]

A lot of Jrue's points have been easy thanks to Tatum.

 

[CDJ]

Tatum is on pace to have 16 assists and 2 TO, that’s called taking what the defense is giving you

I think he’s tied with the Dallas Mavericks in assists right now

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

None of that excuses the last possession.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

You knew you were gonna get their best punch in the first half and you came out of it with the lead.

Win the 2nd half and put a strangle hold on the series

 

[Maine Fan]

Jason Kidd did not get into Tarum's head. He hasn't been good for both games so far. JAYLEN BROWN way to go. How about Holliday.

Time to start plating Celtic Ball. Or we will lose game 2.

it's more on Tatum, game looks one dimensional, thank goodness his teammates are picking him up. He's the main option so not surprised his assists are high since he handles the ball alot

 

[EverettMike]

None of that excuses the last possession.

100% that was brutal

 

[lextune]

We're going to win this game.

 

[pgm16]

Need a run to get a double digit lead

 

[Mione134]

I need Tatum to wake up.

 

[EverettMike]

The mavs are selling out to stop Tatum at the rim. The help defense wasn't there that time and he was able to get a shot up.

 

[lextune]

Tatum will end up with a double double, plus five or six rebounds, and all the talk will be "where is he?"

 

[Lobster57]

Luka starting to get frustrated i think

 

[lextune]

We're shooting like crap, and we're up ten.

Dallas is not going to be able to hang with us.

 

[EverettMike]

This has been a great game despite the poor shooting.

Hauser....hit a f***ing shot.

 

[lextune]

Dude...

Just go to the basket. These threes are killing me now.


EDIT- LOL I'll take that buzzer beater tho.
