Celtics only flaw is their refusal to shoot 2s when the 3 is broken - was the same thing last yr (mostly Tatum)

Good lord indiana choking harder tonight than they did the last couple of postseason games last season.

Another bad game for the MVP of the Division Chanpionship Game and the Final NBA Game. Now we know why he was snubbed. Where is Jaylen in the big games?

Brown vs. Indiana. 3s: 1 of 11. FT: 2 of 4. FG: 11 of 30.
4 personal foals, 3 turnovers,
Why he played 43 minutes is beyond me, it's only a regular season game but that is two bad games back to back.

...seems to answer part two. Unless you think a regular season game in October is bigger than the conference and finals games?

I'm much more upset about those 3 missed FTs by Brown and Tatum late in the 4th Quarter. If they made just 1 of those FTs then OT would not have even been needed.

This is who they are, shoot 3's & play great D.

Tatum missed a couple of FT's in the first also. I recall last year, of their first 4 losses, 3 were in OT.

got a couple ref gifts too at the end to compound the botched free throws and missed rebounds - this game became winnable quickly

I don't how did you come to that conclusion ?

I read your post.

Maybe you didn't say what you meant, but I know others agree with me.

 

[EverettMike]

Grant Williams you f***ing loser.

Thank you, what I hope I said was that I thought Jaylen should be playing much better, like tonight's game against the Hornets.

 

[BostonBob]

Grant Williams you f***ing loser.

The game didn't air here in Canada - what did Williams do ???

EDIT: Never mind - I just saw the video of his foul on CBS Sports. TBH - I hope somebody on the Bruins throws as good a check tomorrow against Philly.

Body checked Tatum for no reason, bizarre from him



Queta jersey on the way

 

[Maine Fan]

The Jaylen Brown guy showed and played extremely well. Please more like this or close to this.

Great game, Celtics

 

[pgm16]

Grant Williams you f***ing loser.

I didn't need to see the replay, dangerous & dirty play

Beautiful

 

[Mione134]

Grant Williams is a f***ing idiot

 

[lextune]

What an absolute asshole Williams is.

And yes, I felt the same way when he was here. Just a total toolbag.

A grown man put his dangley bits on that guy's shoulder lol

 

[CDJ]

Too good

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Teams still soft even if we won one with a super easy path.

This suspension 3 game suspension given to Embiid is so freaking stupid. Let's say Embiid and the Sixers come to the conclusion that Embiid will play his first game of the season on Game #12. All they have to do is tell the NBA that Embiid is actually ready to play in Game #9 so the 3 game suspension starts then. So basically Embiid will then miss 3 games he was never going to play in anyway.

Someone tweeted the real punishment would have been to make him play three in a row
