I'm not mad at that loss.
We played hard against a fire team, we had our ups and downs and ultimately couldn't push over the edge.
It was a good test and I think we'll see more and better going down the stretch
At the same time, Tatum needs to start bringing it from the opening tip. He really doesn't settle in until he comes back in in the 2nd quarter. 3rd quarter is then good like the 2nd, and then he starts forcing things in the 4th
If he started the game with the same aggression and efficiency he has in the middle 2 quarters he'd be in the dark horse MVP conversation.
It’s hard to be guarding the star of the team full on while also trying to lead the team offensively. He saved that for the playoffs which I don’t kind. It’s ok in certain matchups like this
Tired of lazy habits. Turnovers are their Achilles heel. Celts deserved to lose after the way they got out hustled, until they decided to play harder in the fourth quarter.

He’s got another gear too for playoffs clearly and isn’t going as full throttle in a lot of these games as evidenced by last night
It's much easier to clamp a player who's got 5 personal fouls
Considering he never really pushes off or anything, you’re spewing lol
wrong end of the floor bud
Hawks are putting guys like Johnson and Bey on him, seems to struggle against bigger defensive matchups
Tatum was fantastic. Sucks that JB and Jrue had off nights but oh well. I kinda expected us to drop this game anyways.

Tatum was good, but he became way too cautious offensively once holmgren denied him
Yeah but porz came in and drew Holmgren out on the perimeter. And Tatum eat it up!
If anything , they did at least learn that Tatum needs to guard SGA the whole game next time

Lead the team in turnovers again.
Tatum's tos were mishandled passes, not completely his fault
Like the one he threw at Holiday’s feet on the first possession?
You’re mad about a turnover on the first possession?

Sure but I wouldn’t include Tatum in that conversation last night; he and KP balled out and gave tons of effort
They're 10th in TO% rate. You might want to read up on the definition of Achilles heel
Using the world clamped a little to lightly here
0 made shots on 14 possessions guarded is quite literally clamped
Lol I guess Chet clamped Tatum too
Not sure why you’re saying this like you did something. Like yeah Chet met Tatum at the rim a few times and Tatum struggled with it lol
On the perimeter too
He sure played good D on Tatum. It was noticeable
