Celtics (2-3) at 76ers (3-2) Round 2 Game #6 5/11/23

Tatum is basically a scrub in the playoffs and our entire team continues to depend on our “1st team all nba” talent and it’s actually just hurting us

[Indocelts]

Joe makes Tatum a spoiled brat. Just sit him when he doesn’t play well.

Doesn’t he realize that this is an elimination game?

Between Al, Tatum not hitting anything brown turning it over and taking ridiculously hard shots….the Celtics just have Philly another life line

[Roy H.]

What has happened to Tatum?  I've never seen something like this out of a star player.

[Kuberski33]

If Tatum wakes up, they win. If not, he can deal with the 'overrated' chants next season.

[CelticSooner]

Tatum literally does not move on offense unless he has the ball.

[jpotter33]

In Tatum's defense, he's played good defense on the whole, and he's contributing with boards (7) and assists (6). But he simply has to score and shoot better, too.

I was saying we needed to feature Tatum early and get him some good looks to get going in the first half. We didn't, and we're clearly once again paying for it.

[celticinorlando]

2/5 of your starters not even showing up

[tenn_smoothie]

I won’t be able to follow the second half, though. Have a good night everyone.

I envy you.

If Tatum wakes up, they win. If not, he can deal with the 'overrated' chants next season.

OR, he can focus on being a decoy and find the open man when 3 guys collapse on him.  Really bad outcomes when Tatum has tried to force it.

[johnnygreen]

Tatum needs to man up, and simply overpower his guy. He's constantly losing the ball and falling. Is he trying to get a call by falling?

[SCeltic34]

Philly is going to shoot the ball much better than they did in the 2nd half. 

That was just an atrocious offensive display in the 2nd quarter.

[Indocelts]

Tatum needs a more disciplined coach. Not Joe, apparently.

All Star MVP derails his performance.

That was just an atrocious offensive display in the 2nd quarter.

but there was a LOT of good def being played by the Celtics in that first half.

[Neurotic Guy]

I had no expectation of a blowout. Smart’s played very well. Al and JT 0-13 is stunning.  Really difficult to comprehend that they’d shoot that poorly in a desperation game.  But I do have faith that JT will shoot better in the 2nd half. He’s played well defensively at least.
