Celtics (2-0) at 76ers (0-2) Round 2 Game #3 5/5/18

[bknova]

Tatum is my favorite rookie ever.  First legit superstar prospect we’ve had since Bird and I wasn’t alive during Larry’s rookie year.

See Pierce, Paul.  Top 50 all time player. 26,000 career points.

Hyperbole much?

love Pierce. He was never a superstar.  Rookie Tatum has a higher ceiling than rookie piece had.

Yeah. Lets not go there.  Paul Pierce was a legit superstar.  If he was playing in this 3 point shooting era, he'd have averaged 30, easy.

Nope.  Love Pierce.  Wasn’t a superstar. I don’t label every allstar a superstar.  Pierce was something like the 12th-20th best player in the league during his prime.  Never even 1st team all-nba.  Didn’t have real success until KG (a superstar) lead us to a title. 

Not knocking Pierce.  Tatum might not have that level of success, but he’s the best prospect we’ve had since Larry Bird.  Tatum has all the makings of a true all-nba 1st team level superstar if progresses as expected.  I’ve been comparing him to rookie Kevin Durant all season.

Were  you not around in 1996 and 97 when he was tearing up the NCAA and was projected to go 2 in that draft.  He was a legit superstar prospect.  You should go hunt some scouting reports.  That was also an era where they didn't shoot 8 threes a game.

We left reddick open like 5 times

[Phantom255x]

Yeah Scary Terry honestly isn't scary on the road...

[droopdog7]

We’re ice cold.

[SCeltic34]

Pathetic display by MM.  You have to make at least one of those open shots you've been getting.

[Celtic Fan Forever]

What an ugly finish

[BASS_THUMPER]

BAYNES

shoulda shot that open 3pt

[jpotter33]

Our perimeter defense today has been poop. Can't keep giving them open looks out on the perimeter.

pierce was an all-star prospect that peaked as an Allstar.  Tatum is a superstar prospect.  There’s a difference.

I watched every game of paul’s career.  Tatum is a better prospect.  Doesn’t guarantee he will live up to his potential.

Moose can't sniff the floor as our offense completely flatlines

[blink]

well you knew that was coming at some point.
gotta figure out a way to find their 3 point shooters.

[Surferdad]

Doris Burke is horrible, reading off a script. Wish McHale was doing the game.

[blink]

nice steal by smart to end the 1/4...

[liam]

Yeah Scary Terry honestly isn't scary on the road...

He's always scary...

Philly has been dictating the pace with their transition buckets. Gotta run back fast and prevent them from having fast break opportunities.
