I'm sure glad Tatum scored a whole bunch of useless points in the 4th to make it look like he had a good game and extend his bid for All-NBA /s

It's hard for me, but I have to admit that Tatum is not All NBA. Not with defense like this, not with games when he simply didn't show up.

He should be resting.

TPS ALL AROUND

Duncan Robinson will demand 20m per according to Woj

Celts should think about it

What a shooter. One of the best in the nba.  Reminds me of Klay Thompson. Defense has improved also

[slamtheking]

looking like we're locked into the 7 slot.  we have more talent than any other team in the play-in tournament yet I'm not optimistic of our chances of coming out of it with at least the 8th spot

19/7/5 going into the 4th isn't a bad stat line, I reckon. Especially with 4/7 from 3 and overall 40+ % field goal. Plenty efficient.

Not sure what the dig is there.

It was 17 points, but that's not really the point. He had several turnovers, some really lackluster defense, and his impact on the game seemed to be missing. Going for 16 easy points in the 4th when the game was essentially over looks good in the boxscore, but he really wasn't impressive tonight.

Bam is funny ... roasting Dwade

He would look great in a Celts uniform 

[radiohead]

Aren’t we assured of the 7th spot because Charlotte lost too? Does the lottery positions look at the final regular season standings regardless of the play in results? Anyway, TPs for those who stayed to watch this stinker.

Brad would try to turn him into a three-point shooter.

his point is lost on you.

Tristan Thompson was absolutely horrid in that 3rd quarter and Brad just couldn't see it...


Blind Brad!

Also could see All those 3s over Carsen Edwards>>>>

Dream scenario for the rest of the season - lose out, get 9th or 10th in the standings, lose the play-in game and get the 10 seed in the East good for around pick 11 or 12 in the lottery.

Less ideal scenario but most ideal if we make the playoffs - lose the first play-in game, win the second play-in game and get 8th, play 76ers in the first round. (They're the only ones of the top 3 in the East that I think we have even a remote chance of being competitive with.)

Worst case scenario - we stay 7th in the East, win our play-in, and then get swept by the most unlikable team in history in the Nets.

Will that mean that Kyrie’s Sage burning worked?

[liam]

Thompson with 3 rebs none Offensive, 2 points and couldn't defend anyone and played 28 minutes. It seems like Parker could've played much better than that or Kornet or Tacko or Tatum at the 5.

Kemba had 7 rebounds....
