Safe to say we have enough evidence to conclude tatum is a frontrunner.  He has the talent to be what we thought he is, but he is not there yet.

Disagree a 24-year old that took us to the finals last year.

Players don't overreact to one regular season game. Fans on the other hand.....

This is a massive overreaction tonight... LOL

How many times do we have to see a big game or series and say "If tatum just showed up how he normally does"?

The Warriors are still.plain better and that isn't going to change barring injury.

We just going to ignore that the C’s are missing two starters? 

They were missing the guy that shut Tatum down last year - Wiggins - Tatum played just as bad.

24 yo that has been to how many conference championships....

Age isn't an excuse anymore when a guy has that much playoff experience. He's good player, but he's not the guy.

This is a game in the middle of a long road trip before the holidays as the team has been clearly the best in the league and just thrashed the western conference leading team last game. I would not rush to judgment based on this.

This gs team beat them in the finals and made them feel the worst they ever have according to the chip salesman.

Road trip...holidays shouldn't mean jack.

I blame myself for being g upset though as I allowed myself to fall into the trap of fools.gold aka NBA Reg Season.

So he's been so successful at 24 that there's no excuse for a bad game in the middle of a long road trip? Got it. We were never going to win them all.

No. He still looks as bad as he did in the finals vs this team. It’s a pattern.

What's our record against the warriors since Tatum has been here?

[RockinRyA]

Well its clear we need al back and i hope this game teaches the team a lesson.

I don’t think most of us are over reacting to losing, we are reacting to the lack of mental focus and effort.  That shouldn’t change at any time.  It isn’t season detailing, but it was a chance to make a point and we just shriveled.

Yep, this. Particularly with JT. They were missing their best JT defender, and I don't think they particularly do anything that makes it harder on JT. It really does seem to be mostly mental with him against GS.

Giannis will feast on them on Tuesday, just watch.

JT’s progression has been so fast that the expectations are getting higher as well. We’ve been through so many disappointments but the guy is still just 24. Giannis won his first title at 26. I’m not quite ready to bail out on him.

[celticinorlando]

Laying a turd vs the team they said they have waited to play again is pretty concerning. How do you come out with that performance?

[Kuberski33]

an absolute stinkfest.  better see a much better effort next game

The Celtics have a long history of struggling on West Coast road trips. The goal should always be to finish over .500 for the trip. And where you get the wins doesn't so much matter.

The disappointing part was we saw a rehash of the same problems they had in the Finals. But tonight was also a no show in terms of the effort.

Is Giannis now a Laker?! 

We play the Bucks on Sunday on Christmas. We have the LA doubleheader next on Monday and Tuesday.

Lost more than they have won including the finals.

this was like a repeat of game one of the finals.

Only record that matters in that match up is 2-4.

GS plays Bucks on Tuesday.

[celticinorlando]

Can’t finish this road trip 0-3. Absolutely a must to get at least one in LA
