The refs can’t erase a 22 point lead with 9 minutes left, this was certainly on us. But man they missed a lot of calls
Zach Zarba is a dumbass but we can’t let it come to that.
What a fucking choke. I’m at a loss for words.
FUCKING GARBAGE
Yikes
That was a humbling experience as a fan
Did Tatum clock out of his shift at halftime
What the fuck was that garbage
Fuck these refs
But Celtics had this game. Smfh
And for the 27th time in the last year, a random role player turns into prime MJ against the Celtics
We got robbed but we also absolutely lost this game. Credit to D Wade.
They turned off the switch too early. Burn the tape onto Denver
Lmao. All you can do is laugh guys. Not the end of the world. Onto the next one.
Did garland not travel on the layup? Thought his foot landed first. Ugh.
The streak had to end at some point. Tough collapse in the 4th, which hasn’t been our style this season. Oh well onto the next one!
Refs were absolute shit this game lol.
Should’ve never been in this position
They deserve the L
Zach Zarba with the HOF point shaving performance
Got flashbacks to the first half of the 21-22 season. What a choke job
Refs messed up on the jump ball but we should not have blown that lead in the 4th, unacceptable but we’ll bounce back
Nba is fucking bullshit that’s outrageous
Uow they needed the second coming of curry to win. Not worried
How the fuck do you rob KP of the putback??? Awful fourth quarter from players to coaching. Where was the sense of urgency on the last play?
Shouldn’t have choked the lead, but the Refs made sure we didn’t come back. Their officiating is fucking criminal
Really need to draw up plays at the end Joe. Tatum doesn’t always need to take the last shot
We need a statement win against the nuggets to redeem this one
Why they not count Kristaps putback?
Most embarrassing loss in a long time. deserve to be shit on. And of course fucking Kelce was there. Fuck him.
What a choke job lol, and Tatum could not be any worse at buzzer beater clutch moments.
Sucks to lose but I still appreciate KP being so clutch. It’s not you fault king😭
Fuck that shit though. If they got the no foul right on the floor KP gets the put back and we win by 1. That blown call cost us the game
Haven’t seen a collapse like that since last season though. Oh well.
Why didn’t Joe called a timeout at the end???
Down 1, how the FUCK does Joe not call a timeout and how the FUCK does Tatum walk the ball up the court????
this is the most celtics way to lose a 11 game win streak
19 seconds down 1 and you wait to shoot when there’s 2 seconds left? And of course we get a second chance with 0.7 seconds left. I hate this.
How did KP not have control after the foul???
Incoming doomers with their “season is over” shit, smh
it’s 1 game and ppl in here writing off the season. get over it, the cavs got hot in the 4th, it happens
If you’re going to talk about the late game offense, please have examples. That’s such a tired narrative that I think stems from when you’re this good of a team, your only losses are going to be in extremely close games.
All that game showed us is that this Celtics team still has a fuck ton to prove because that was basically the same kind of game we’ve seen from this team going on 5 years now. Blowing a big lead; running terrible offense down the stretch and losing an awful hero ball shot by Tatum when there was no need for it.
Celtics kryptonite will forever be teams missing their stars and letting back up bums like Dean Wade beat them
So they call the foul at the end where we would’ve had the putback and then overturn the foul and it’s a jump ball and they start the game clock early before we can get a timeout?
Absolute dumbest end of game i’ve ever seen
The Cavs did their part.
The refs did theirs.
We didn’t do ours.
On the plus side: Denver can’t break a streak that’s already broken. Onto the next one.
You give Zach Zarba an inch he will take a mile.Tatum may have great stats with less than 5 to go in a close game but I’m not buying his clutchness when then team is down with less than 24. It’s the same old shit. Yet somehow the stats will show he’s the greatest ever with less than 24. Doesn’t make any sense. I can’t recall the last time (against the Nets?) he made a big shot with less than 24 seconds.
I love Joe but keeping Tatum, who was ice cold, Pritchard, and Kornet without JB, DWhite or KP for so long while they were choking was a strange choice
I wanna see D white take the last shot next time
