Shoutout to D White for remembering we had a game tonight
Tremendous effort to get this to 7.
I feel sick over the potential roster shake-ups but there are clearly changes that need to be made. This core has struggled with the same issues every single season.
Do not supermax him.
As bad as this is, getting swept would have been worse. But yeah, this hurts like hell right now.
That out of the way, what an egg to end the season. This is the biggest flop of a game I’ve ever seen. Offense was absolutely atrocious. JT was on one leg, that didn’t help of course. But aside from white, no one had any kind of good game. Threes killed us again, on both side of the court.
Also, fuck the refs man. They might have had a worse game than the Celtics. That travel on JT was one of the worse calls I’ve ever seen, followed by a non call on a real travel by butler. On another pass to Martin for a three, butler straight stepped out of bounds. Martin carried the ball like a baby on another play. That offensive foul on jaylen was a was a regular move. Elbow didn’t even stick out at all.
And, JB, my man. How many times are you going to let butler poke the ball out from behind? How many turnovers you gonna give them? How many heat check threes you gonna take? How many defensive breakdowns? This is NOT the kind of game you should be having in a do or die game.
Last but not least, fuck Caleb Martin. Who the hell does he think he is anyway?
Is there not one man in the entire world who can teach Jaylen Brown how to dribble a basketball
In hindsight this game was decided in the first 20 seconds when Tatum sprained his ankle. Joe had to keep him out there because he’s the star but it made our offence stagnant creating a lot of pressure on JB. Hence all his turnovers. The buffalo was unreal but we can’t expect him to keep the team alive without either of our stars playing well. Tatum was getting bullied in the pick and roll on defence.
Every year you have to have some luck with injuries and unfortunately this year was our turn the have some bad luck. Brown needs to work on his handle during the off season and we’ll be back next year.
This team showed unreal fight to force a game 7 while being down 3-0.
Up the C’s ☘️☘️☘️
Essentially no brogdon all series and Tatum hurt for Game 7. It was a good run but you can’t run the offense through brown and expect to win.
**CONGRATULATIONS JAYLEN BROWN YOU ARE NOW AN ATLANTA HAWK**
The good news here is that this sub can stop pretending that Jaylen Brown is in the same conversation as Tatum. We just got a sneak peak of Brown being the first option for a playoff team and low and behold he’s abysmal. It’s unbelievable that a player of his caliber can’t dribble and he’s been in the league long enough where he’ll never develop this into a strength. A supermax would be a huge gamble and betting that he can change tendencies that have plagued him his entire career.
I’m fine, I pre-grieved.
This loss is on Jaylen Brown. Tatum gets hurt and you’re supposed to be the one to step up and carry the load. Instead, he just shits the bed at every opportunity given.
All the hubbub to fight back into this series, only to just give us the most pathetic performance possible.
There is going to be a lot of finger pointing but the reality is, you simply cannot win a game when a guy on your team has 8 turnovers
you know what i would say but i can’t anymore.
I’m so fucking tired of losing in the ECF man
Game ended when Tatum got hurt
We lost this game on the first possession. It is what it is
I really don’t like how Jaylen Brown played this series and I’m not just saying it because he played badly.
Fought so hard to force a game 7 to only roll over with bricks from all area codes. The Buffalo with the only sense of urgency was disheartening. Don’t get me started on Martin thoroughly outplaying nonexistent turnover machine Brown.
We’ll always have Game 6. Thank you Derrick!
Tatum getting injured 26 seconds into the game will haunt this city for years. That’s the most tragic thing that could’ve possibly happened tonight.
Ah well. Just the way the cookie crumbled. Tatum’s injury set the tone for the game, unfortunately. See you guys next season.
I will forever feel robbed of a historic G7 Tatum performance
I’m not hearing any fucking Tatum slander the guy played on one leg the entire fucking game. Sure would’ve been nice if the fucking game didn’t start with a fucking injury. Fuck.
JB on the other hand…. his supermax should be contingent on his TOs for the season.
Caleb Martin playing like shit against the Nuggets will make me want to do something stupid
They blew it but I’m still grateful for the team to make it to game 7. Go nugs. See y’all next year.
I can’t tell if my bidet is too strong or my anus is too weak.
Love him. Hurts me to say this.
Don’t super max Jaylen. Get someone else to pair with Tatum. I don’t think Brown deserves the super max, not with this team.
Well, I won’t be smoking that Heat pack tonight.
Instead I’ll be smoking crack like I always do when I’m sad.
Love this team, we made a series out of it! We’ll be back and even better next year!
This game was lost in the 3rd quarter when Miami was stuck on 66 and we couldn’t cut the lead less than 7
I’d hate to be in Brad’s position right now. Some really tough decisions to be made. We’ll be back.
Bruins 🤝 Celtics
Terrible Game 7s at home
It’s not that they lost, it’s how they lost. There was no fight tonight except from DW and Tatum.
Brown was a no show and we didn’t do anything defensively. Feel like Tatum’s injury took away any energy we could have had
All the talk about Jaylen Brown being better than Tatum stops here. Where was that “dawg” that Brown supposedly has? 8 turnovers? Cool deal, man. Tatum was hobbling but at least was still trying out there. Brown is really good, but he has some GLARING weaknesses.
Robert Williams played 14 minutes. Geriatric Al horford played 34
Jimmy Butler getting MVP is absolutely criminal.
