Celtics (48-13) at Nuggets (42-20) Game #62 3/7/24

[Indocelts]

Tatum has shot all blanks in crunch time this season. ZERO percentage. ZILCH. NADA.

Concerning what I’ve seen the last two games.
Saturday will be tough

[ozgod]

If Tatum shows up the C's win this game by double digits. He's got 3 months to figure it out or else Jokic is repeating.

or if we made our free throws

[Atzar]

JB played like a monster, free throws aside, but we need our best guy to be our best guy to become champions.  Period.

[PAOBoston]

Disheartening loss. Same old bad habits in big games. They always seem to come up short and our stats just not good enough.

[JSD]

Man, wide open three for Tatum, would have been a game changer

[celticinorlando]

So a two game losing streak. Lots of issues coming to the surface

[Neurotic Guy]

we had numbers in transition, needed a two to tie, and the big game invisible man shoots a three?!?

incredibly low bbiq. losing basketball.

If the alley to JB was better placed they would have had the oop. Instead they get a wide open corner three to take the lead. Not a problem. Bad miss, but good take.

Tatum sucks, oh well. At least Jrue showed his worth in crunch time.

[ozgod]

I know we’re criticizing our own team and saying they could’ve played better and that’s fair but the Nuggets showed what level they could go to and why they’re defending champs and why they will take some beating. They clearly have the best player in the league, and he makes their offense hum.

[President Red]

Frustrating game, but they had a shot at the lead with under a minutes left despite several of our players having uncharacteristically poor games, missing tons of free throws and open threes that they usually make. Terrible outcome, but it doesn’t seem like a basis to assume that they can’t beat Denver.

[JSD]

Porzingus and Jokic, both Eastern Orthodox, they embrace over that connection

[celticinorlando]

Onto phoenix as this terrible road trip continues

[Yuckabuck33]

Brad has assembled a great team. Trade Chokum for big man who Jokic can't push over and who can score. (Sorry KP.)

Might have won this game sure but beating this team in series no chance unless Tatum shows up throughout. Denver starts every game with a guy putting up 20-10 at worst.
