Oh Lord, that is such a nonsense flop for Brunson. They allow more off arm usage every other play down the floor

howitzer for 3

This looks terrible with a poor result in store

[celticinorlando]

One team playing for something

One team is not.

al for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Honestly, Brunson is as bad of a foul hunter and flopper/embellisher as anyone in the league. He has to do that with his diminutive size.

Not that I blame them since they've clinched everything already, but if this is the effort level then why even play the starters. Just rest them on the bench. Them just doing cardio out there for the most part isn't helping much either or contributing to "good habits" anyways. Our bench guys can just do that too for a few games.

Tatum has become too obsessed with what the officials are doing.

He's not the only one. The refs are just screwing us... One free throw in 53 minutes...

We can think like that as fans but i hope the players don’t think like that, having a “we gettin robbed” mindset out there is a recipe to start blaming uncontrollables instead of controlling the controllables, and Tatum is notorious for getting taken out of the game due to frtustration with the officials

[celticinorlando]

Refs just fall for Brunson’s flops

[jpotter33]

Inexcusable not getting back in transition there.

We're just playing sloppy and lackadaisical out there.

[celticinorlando]

Giving up offensive rebounding is officially a problem.

[jpotter33]

Turnovers and offensive rebounds - the two things that have been our Achilles heel this year.

Just poor effort and focus tonight. Hopefully this is just end of the season boredom with nothing to play for.

Tatum lets the refs get in his head.
Stop complaining and play

[tenn_smoothie]

I hate, hate, hate the way the ball stops when it hits Brown's or Tatum's hands.

Jaylen Brown would be so valuable if he made up his mind to be a Celtics Scottie Pippen. Just said I'm gonna be the 2nd guy and the best compliment in the league. Whatever it takes that adds to this team's ability to win. Then you would have to get Tatum to start moving the ball - instead of copying Kobe, Jason needs to copy Larry.  Think how good this team would be with smarter play from those two. Won't happen with the current coach, though.

Van Gundy saying that Tatum has gotten much worse this year with complaining to the refs "he complains every single time he misses a shot". I agree. He needs to get over it and concentrate on what he can control. He probably has the worst rep among refs and they deliberately don't give him calls as a result.
