They just called KP for something Robinson has been doing the entire game

These refs suck.  That's not a foul on Tatum.
Don't forget that Tatum criticized the refs for his ejection. We know from Donaghy that the refs take revenge for criticism.

KP is so good.  His absence is a big reason we've slipped in our offensive ratings over the past five games or so.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

NY do a nice job getting bodies in there attacking the offensive glass.

Scal "we're playing really well...."

are we? lol

I'll buy the argument that we're getting a lot of open shots that just aren't falling.  But I really think our defense has been poor tonight.  We're slow closing out, missing rotations, and failing to box out on the glass.  I think Tatum is as guilty of low effort as anybody on our team right now.  He just seems sluggish.

Yeah I added the 'on def' after the lol.   We are doing ok on offense I guess, we just seem blah out there on def right now.

It's just an avalanche of bad calls going against the Celtics!!!

Porzingis is very sound on defense, footwork and positioning are very good. He also pays attention on blocking out on every shot.
European fundamentals long lost on the American game.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce

That's a travel by Brunson.

They've really got to get rid of the "step through" move where you can take a step and move your pivot if going up for the shot. I hate that and it's completely against the whole idea of the pivot foot.

Agreed. A complete violation of basketball.

And we do a particularly poor job keeping their bodies out of there.  We have a lot of guys who try to rebound by reaching instead of getting position.

What is going on with Tatum's free throw shooting this year?
