I can?t believe people are blaming JT for this loss. 🤷‍♂️

He certainly could have done better in the 2nd half, and I hated his shot selection in the 4th. But yeah blaming him and not KP and Hauser among others is foolish. Those two have also been pretty atrocious so far this series besides KP's Game 2.

Yeah I wouldn?t blame him but not sure why he decided to take terrible iso shots?literally not what won us the title last year. Needs to be a playmaker if he doesn?t have a good shot.

I do find it interesting that Orlando attempted more 3s than we did (32 vs. 27). In fact I think by halftime we had only attempted 7 total. Was it something Orlando did or were we too scared to shoot?

The big bad Mickey Mouse magic were the best team in the league at defending the 3, so tough! Celtics will be lucky to win another game this season

KP is definitely being bothered by Orlando?s extra physical defense. I mean with all the bruises he?s endured, it?s possible he?s overthinking his every move. He needs to watch tape and see how he can adjust. WCJ and even Cole Anthony have been allowed to just manhandle our guys with no calls. I think we?ll be fine come game 4. We missed Jrue big time today.

Tatum played and they still lost? SMH

Tatum is the reason they lost.

I?m not sure what you were watching if that?s your takeaway. He was the only reliable offense all night. Has to better control the turnovers, but in no world is it reasonable to blame JT.

This loss is much more on the bigs, bench, and particularly KP, who killed us on both ends all night long.

Joe also has his fair share of the blame. He stuck way too long with the double big lineup, which clearly wasn?t working and was still giving up a ton of offensive boards. He also stuck way too long with KP and should?ve went with the smaller one big lineup with just Al. Has to be less dogmatic and more able to quickly adjust.

10/22 field goals, 12/12 freethrows. Yeah, he shot us out of the game.

[Who]

Tatum was so efficient in his shooting that he helped compensate for his 7 turnovers. 10-22 FGA with 12-12 FTA so 28 possessions. 35 possessions with the 7 turnovers to get 36 points.

About 1 point per possession.

The rest of the team had 57 points on 23-52 FGA and 6-10 FTA. So 57 points on 57 possessions. Add in turnovers. 12 turnovers. So 57 points on 69 possessions. That is 0.826 points per possession.

Im still trying to figure out how white being mauled on on a clear foul on Orlando was called out in us.

Humiliating loss?can?t lose a playoff game to this Mickey Mouse franchise with a garbage roster

agreed. bad signs. this is what we watched in 2022 losing games we shoulda won. same in 2023.

Simple. The NBA didn't want a sweep
