Enjoy it Dallas. Your time is coming Monday.

If we do close out on game 5, i think JT can sneakily eke out JB as finals MVP?

Who cares?
And no I don?t give Tatum any credit or edge over anybody for putting up 15 points in a 30 point finals loss.

I absollutely give him credit - because unlike JB and the rest of the starters he at least looked like he cares about winning the game.  Nobody else does.

Nah, Tatum folded mentally early, like 1st quarter early.  Getting frustrated by the refs, not getting back on D. He might have been the 1st to quit tonight, followed by Jaylen, followed by everybody else.

Yeah I just can?t with the Tatum-centric Celtics fans.

He was abysmal tonight. Bricking step back 3s, bricking layups and complaining way too much and mentally folded almost immediately.
Brown clearly had a bad game too but I?m not giving Tatum a bump up in the mvp ranking over this. That?s insane.

Everyone was abysmal tonight. Flush it and move on.

Pritchard had been especially bad tonight. Save for that buzzer beater 3 - which was a huge shot- he has sucked in this series.

[SparzWizard]

In the last five quarters how much have we been outscored? Has Dallas figured this out?

They figured out how to attack us in the paint and outrebound us. I expect that to continue in Game 5.

Just muted espn.

That's down outirght nonsense.  Tatum and Hauser have been the only guy making any effort.  Tatum has been attacking aggressively when he's touched the ball and he's actually been out there fighting for rebounds.  The Celtics haven't even tried to get him involved in the offence since half time.   

I knew all I had to about this game when I saw saw THREE Celtics box out and surround the paint only to get beaten to a rebound from behind by a lone rookie Mav, and when I saw Jaylen Brown (on multiple occasions) throw brainless passes directly into the hands of opponents.  Those plays summarised this entier game.

This is one of those games where all you can do is wipe it out of your memory entirely and just pretend it never happened.

Celtics have responded well to both losses these playoffs, let's give them a chance to adjust and redeem themselves before we get too crazy guys.

Players who have been solid most of the playoffs all had a bad night against a desperate Mavs team backed into a corner. Let's see how they come out at home on monday when the energy should be amazing and the refs should be less biased

[celticinorlando]

Just win the title. Don't care how or where.

This ass kicking better not be for nothing.

I agree. Exactly why it?s insane to move around finals mvp rankings based on anything from that garbage. Tatum hasn?t shot well or been efficient offensively a single game In these finals including tonight

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

not sure why i still have this crap on turning off now

[CelticSooner]

I give Dallas more credit than I blame the C?s. They have seemed to finally realize they can?t just let the J?s be comfortable. Need to make shots and ease them up again.

TP. Give them a chance to right the wrong.

Pritchard can't even draw iron. WTH?

You always think we're going to lose everything, every time.  It gets old.  You're wrong.

Celtics in 5.

I don't care one bit who wins the MVP. Give it to the ball boy. Just get the title won Monday.
