I actually predict JT is gonna go off soon!! 40 point game!!!

  That’s what it’s going to take.

i’d love to see PP to close the half with an uptempo push, maybe get tatum some easy fast break points to get him going in the 2H.

Looks like JT has the yips.  It's in his head at this point.  He better snap out of it.  They need to make an emphasis on getting him going to start the second half.

Let everyone else score.

Celtics should be up 20 plus. Every time they get going they have multiple empty possessions on offense

Majority of them have been JB going ISO taking contested jumpers

Tatum is really lucky Smart, JB, and Brogdon have shown up offensively, because this is a blowout otherwise.

They need to ply Timelord more or at least give Grant some minutes. Can’t just play 7 guys all game.

I can’t remember a guy being so bad shooting the ball like Tatum has been this series

I love this post because I remember the last time you railed at JTs first half performance.

Which one? It’s been three of the six games

[SCeltic34]

Inexcusable.  Joe draws up an ATO play to try to get Tatum going and he does that.

[CelticSooner]

I cannot stand watching this offense.

[liam]

Take Tatum out!!!

[jpotter33]

At some point, you just need to sit Tatum, Joe. He's clearly in his own head out there. Stop force feeding him!

[tenn_smoothie]

What is Tatum doing ?

[celticinorlando]

Please sit Tatum.

Celtics on cue closing the half terribly

[PAOBoston]

They need to get JT some easy looks or something. Dude, what are you doing?

[Roy H.]

Are we literally only going to play Timelord only 13 minutes this half, JOe? He's a freaking +22 and clearly is the key to our defense right now.

Solution:  Timelord can shoot threes.  Doesn't matter if he bricks them; poor shooting doesn't cost anybody else playing time.
