Talentagentfriend

I dont understand why he wasnt drafted. He was a 7’1 guy with a 7’4 wingspan that can shoot. He just didnt have a big man game — thats it. I also never understood why Payton wasnt taken in the first round. For a guard he has huge hands and can palm the ball. His handles have always been like glue. He wasnt that bad of a shooter and was constantly getting high assists and steals. I dont even think it’s lucky, the Celtics management is one of the only competent teams when it comes to evaluating talent. Even the fact that no one picked up on Tatum.. he shouldnt have gone 3.

Desperate_Clothes_20

237 | 2 months ago

Pritchard was a first round pick and he won bob cousy award at Oregon for best pg in college ball

miltonhayek | Celtics

Tatum went 3 but he really went 1 because the Celtics had the first pick and traded it down to get him (if my memory is correct).

GenoThyme | Celtics

53 | 2 months ago

Boston always had Tatum as the best player in the draft while the Lakers at 2 and Philly at 3 both wanted Fultz, but LA was pretty high on Lonzo too. Ainge knew that he could move back to 3 and still get the guy he wanted, and he got another pick out of it. That pick was Romeo Langford and he was one of the assets used to get Derrick White

GhostoftheWolfswood | Celtics

55 | 2 months ago

The Celtics were ready to draft Tatum at 1 but Philly was dumb enough to give us another draft pick to move up for Fultz when he would have fallen to them at 3 anyway

suzukigun4life | Cote D'Ivoire

I think sticking with Porzingis as long as he did this series is his biggest coaching mistake the past few years. Learned his lesson finally. Granted, Porzingis is dealing with some health shit so I’m not going to be an ass like some fans but from a pure ball perspective he’s cooked right now.

AzureAhai

111 | 2 months ago

If the Celtics shot half as good as they did tonight in games 1 and 2 then Tatum probably doesn’t get hurt diving for a lose ball in game 4.

Biggest gripe with Joe, KP has been ASS this entire post season and he still plays him. I RATHER HAVE QUETA OUT THERE

DJRyGuy20 | Celtics

93 | 2 months ago

I don’t blame him for giving KP a shot honestly. It seems he’s just testing the waters to see how his recovery is going and to his credit he’s yanked him when it was clear he wasn’t himself. He only played 12 minutes tonight.

jambr380

69 | 2 months ago

Yeah, Queta fighting Robinson for boards would be a lot more exciting than whatever we’ve seen from KP. I get it, not his fault, but he looks like an elderly man out there

SerenadeSwift | Supersonics

zhouster | Celtics

151 | 2 months ago

The stat is true, but it was typically the Cs playing the… lesser rosters of the association so that JT could take a rest day. Not to say that the roster isn’t deep, but beating a fully loaded Knicks team twice more is going to be a tall order

BScottyJ | Celtics

89 | 2 months ago

They did also say we were only 2-2 (3-2 now) against this season’s playoff teams without Tatum. So definitely a case of Tatum resting against weaker teams for the most part

Goddamn I want this series to go 7. Especially now.

mr_antman85 | CLE

They have led EVERY game by double digits. They should have easily won this series.

johnmadden18 | Celtics

109 | 2 months ago

You’re actually underselling it by just saying we were up “double digits” in every game.

We were actually up 20 points in the SECOND HALF of four different games. (Two of which were losses!) And then 14 points in the other game (also a loss).

LaMystika

49 | 2 months ago

That they even had to play a game 5 is an indictment against the Celtics. This should’ve been light work for them. They should’ve been resting up for Indiana tonight instead of having to play.

BScottyJ | Celtics

We’ve probably been leading 4 games worth of basketball this series, at least damn close to it. It really is absurd the opportunities we’ve squandered. Gotta roll with the punches though. Can’t think about what if

junkit33

I would feel so bad but it would be so glorious to see everyone implode from a Celtics W.

Derrick White FMVP would cure me

Casuals don’t get it.

Derrick White could be a first option on tons of teams. He is the definition of a two way player. He is clutch. I don’t know what his weakness is.

Is White leads us in scoring the rest of the playoffs I won’t be surprised.

I don’t like the Celtics but at the same time as a basketball fan I want to see the champs refuse to go out without a fight.

HypoTomasis | Celtics

This was beautiful. Could be such a great series If this goes to 7 games.

Nobody is 100% neutral. But I think if I would support neither team I would pray for 7 games.

Having said that I can see why other fans want us out.

Pacers the real winners tonight

each game knicks waste time , they put more wear and tear, more risk for injury

if they choke game 6, all the pressure is on the knicks for game 7

Upvoted because it’s basically true

Side-eye bc Bill Simmons coined it. The Knicks lived it

why would the Knicks do this to me!!! I was mentally prepared to enjoy one last game with this iteration of the Celtics and now it’s going to Game 6. C’s not dead yet!!!!

My wife was super nice to me today. Got me fast food, some coffee, took care of the baby because I told her we were most likely done tonight.

Now I just have to do it again next game. If we’re lucky, I’m eating fast food and drinking 7Brew all the way to game 7 of the finals.

DiseaseRidden | BOS

Smart move by Brunson to foul out to avoid playing a full Thibs ending. Rest up for game 6.

Hell85Rell | Knicks

That was really a 200 IQ play from him. Another clutch move if you ask me. That’s why he’s our cap.

Unlike that dumbass KAT, who decides to get the dumbest fouls when it matters yet didn’t just get some ez call against him late. I seriously question his mental fortitude.

Porzingis should not play another minute in this series or playoffs. The guy looks horrendous. He’s got no energy, burst & it seems like he’s completely lost his sense of hand eye coordination.

He’s harming them being on the court.

This team could have won this game and prevented the Pacers from resting too long, and they completely blew it playing awful basketball in the second half. No other way around it.

They fucking better, and I mean BETTER, close this out at home on Friday night

moby323 | 76ers

Or what?

SiphenPrax | Knicks

54 | 2 months ago

Or they better win Game 7. And if they don’t do that they’re losers that blew a 3-1 lead to a team without their star player and no one in the city should ever trust them to win a title.

So yeah, better win Game 6, cause this was awful.

If you ever typed the words “trade Jaylen Brown for {insert name here}” in any context besides mocking people that actually want that… you need to delete your account. People think this internet bullshit is real life.

Jaylen Brown been like this.

EutaxySpy | Celtics

Crazy to think that if Kornet played over Porzingis this entire series, tonight we’d probably be closing out the series and Tatum’s Achilles would be intact instead of trying to force another game

Tatum injury is a tragedy, but we are about to have a crazy Jaylen Brown year next season.

Looks like Celtics have the strategy to beat the Knicks. That being shoot 50% from three and have 2 of their players on legacy games.

I’ll wait till game 6 to really pass judgment, but it might be a Pacers finals appearance ngl. Losing like this to a Tatumless Celtics is nasty

Imagine not being able to close in 5 🥱🥱🥱

At least we’re good enough to win when the other team is injured

The Boston Celtics (2-3) send the series back to the Garden after blowing out the New York Knicks (3-2), 127-102. Derrick White shouldered the bulk of the scoring load with 34 points in the team’s first game without Jayson Tatum.
