Celtics (15-15) at Mavericks (13-15) Game #31 2/23/21

at least they're keeping within striking distance.  won't matter if they don't buckle down on defense

that has been the key for so many games. when they play hard aggressive defense they are the better team.

maybe they finally play good defense and pull this out. i have hope.

We should accept that we aren’t the Golden State Warriors and that is ok. Play some hard nosed basketball and go get some easy deuces. (Yes I’m aware we just made three desperation threes)

[ozgod]

No way he touched it

lol Marcie Smart on the sideline.

Well - two rare occurrences actually worked out for us: Tatum penetrated and actually kicked it out to the open guy, and the open guy (Kemba) actually made it for once.

won't have a good camera angle to reverse this really questionable call

[jpotter33]

Im convinced Tatum is the problem. Dude has no spirit and thinks he is above the game. Where is post ASG Tatum?

Brown seems to genuinely care but it seems like everyone else is way too cool right now. I hate being all negative but this is bad. Every time I watch a game now I feel like im wasting time.

I miss the days of Crowder, IT, and AB. That was a team you could root for.

He has his all star big. He has his max contract coming

He is not playing with hunger like we are used to him seeing

Honestly if Tatum really is forming and maintaining these bad habits it’s on the coaching staff. The dude is 22, hold him accountable.

Unfortunately while Brad is good at Xs and Os, he lacks in the accountability department. Doc would destroy Tatum if he took a dumb mid range iso shot

TP. Absolutely this.

I agree, but the 2020 playoff LA clippers say hello

Yeah, that's an awful call and just not enough there to overturn it.

Why the heck would Tatum not grab that if he touched it, ref? Moron.

[slamtheking]

good call there though
