We are in the NBA finals and it's tied. No need to be out on the cliff there's a lot more basketball to play.

All the Warriors did was take back the home court that we took. We'll just take it back.

Team continues to make the same mistakes. Nothing gets corrected.  Now they have to win another one on the road.

Tough loss but we are even. WE are a good young team playing the best teams in the NBA and holding our own!

I don’t see how it’s invalid to be disappointed in the team (and in its best player) after the choke job down the stretch, all while the other team’s best player showed up and showed us how it’s done.

If Tatum went down swinging instead of camping out in the corner, I’d feel differently about it. Probably say it’s a make or miss league. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take and again, we went down with Smart and Horford shots and JB TOs.

It's fine to be disappointed I am but we are tied in the NBA Finals. That's a good thing.

It shouldn't be tied that's the problem. It's one thing to get a team's best effort and lose. It's another to consistently play dumb basketball and come up small when a championship stranglehold is on the line.

This is going 7 whether we want it to or not. So so dumb

He made the right basketball play on this passes to Smart and Al. Those were open looks. If Tatum forced up contested shots and missed, he'd be getting killed here.

Exactly. The Celtics refuse to self correct and are handing them the title
