Play in the mid range more
Dont smile we lost. We need you to be better. Pass more.
If Sam is not hitting shots he's useless! Joe needs to play Jordan more. JB blowing bunnies. This is two games in a row we played like crap.
They gotta play J Walsh and RHJ more, the lack of minutes for them is nuts to me. They really just played soft af this game and nobody was hoopin' for real. If we can't beat good teams, we're gonna get bounced.
No time to dwell on this game. Go watch the film and get ready for OKC. The players might need these two days off to get away from basketball.
We got to get his trade value up
I second that play in the mid range more, move that ball around. I hope JTās return doesnāt turn out to be a bummer to the momentum the team had before his return. The touches for the other guys arenāt the same and at times it shows. Rt now Iām 50/50 on his return.
This is the problem! The team has evolved into something else where what Tatum was, isn't what the team needs! He needs to adjust. Everyone else had to adjust
That is what I was afraid of. JT is already tired of being second banana. I knew it would happen eventually, but I was hoping the C's could get through this season before he started forcing the action. This could get very ugly very fast–Kyrie/Hayward 2018-19 ugly.
Truly,, pathetic big games big players fall apart typical Celtic thing, Jaylen Brown, Tatum you both sucked
IT's games like this that highlight the value of Simons as a shooter. Hauser'has been in a shooting slump for weeks but no one is talking about it. Pritchard's and White's shooting also not close to where it is normally. Gotta give Finch some credit for the in game adjustments he has made
I think Jt is overly stuck in his own head which is be expected iām actually glad he came back early so he can build his confidence back up. either way this team wasnt gonna win a chip without him. i expect jt to be even better then before but i do want him to change his process and play more in the mid post
Tatum really doesn't play offense within the construct of the team. He sees himself as a one on one iso player which leaves his teammates standing there watching him miss shots. He gets them out of rhythm more often than not. He's frustrating to watch. There's a reason why he and Brown only have one title together in spite of all the talent they've played with.
If you actually watched this game you can tell heās about to go on a run fake oneās gon hate but he looked wayyy more confident in that third quarter Mazulla is an idiot for sitting Tatum and brown so long in the 4th quarter
Tatum defers the whole game and people talking about itās himš no everyone was getting stripped and lackadaisical š yall really didnāt watch the game
Celtics are 6-2 since Tatumās return so letās not overreact yet. Heās averaging 19pts which is pretty solid for someone who hasnāt played in 10 months so this season, Iām not expecting anything much, just need him to ramp out and get back to at least 70% of his old self. His shooting efficiency could definitely do some work but other than that, heās been pretty solid for the cās, 75% win rate with him on the floor is good. Tonightās loss was generally on the team and mazzullaās late game adjustments. As good as the defense is, if the team canāt get anything going on offense, theyāre just no going to win, simple. 2 days off before the next game, regroup, adjust and watch film, bounce back with a win against okc to even the season series
Let the young fella get his legs an confidence back
They will end up 3/ 4th seed š¢
JT 6-16 ! Really?!
It was hard to watch the way he was playing last night
BROOOO AS A CS FAN AND I LOVE JT but he needs to go back to his style of play when he first came into the league. Iām talking mid range pull ups,Catch and shoot 3s,back to the basket possessions all that. I swear go back and watch JT Rookie season ya boy was Top 10 if Iām not mistaken in 3pt percentage and that wasnāt off isolation 3s or coming off screens 25 ft behind the 3 to chuck it (and if he did he wouldnāt abuse it like that cause he would either drive and obviously if u remember he couldnāt really go left like that so most of the times it was a pull up mid range shot off the dribble which was very lethal especially off the triple threat) this man used to thrive in the mid range had one of the best pull up mid range games now this man just lives and dies by the 3 and itās hard too watch especially when they donāt go in. with a player of that height and length why cant u come in a little more yāall can not tell me his style of play has not changed since over the years. Iāll much rather have a player that can drive to the basket at an effective rate to where they break zone defenses to either get the best shot off possible or pass out for an assist than a player that just settles for 3s 70% of the time with horrible shot selection
TRY TO BE FIRST TEAM N.B.A. NEXT YEAR JAYSON… BUT FOR THIS YEAR JUST PASS AND REBOUND PLAY TEAM DEFENSE SO THE GUYS CAN GET BACK TO DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING BEFORE YOU CAME BACK… IN OTHER WORDS TAKE THAT BACK SEAT IN THE ROLLING ARSENAL OF THE BLACK BEAUTY AND YOU KNOW PUSH THE RIGHT BUTTONS!!!
I don't trust Jayson "š§±" Tatum
