But I expect Tatum to bounce back strong. Im thinking, next game 10-18, including 2-4 from 3. 9 boards, 2 steals, 4 assists.

This one is on Brad. And you guys know I don't say that very often. For it is true that OG was allowed to roam freely, with NO ONE near him, as Lowry fired a pass over the head of Tacko. WHY WERE WE IN A ZONE? One half a second left, play full denial and don't allow a three. This is on the coach, sorry Brad.

hedley, were we in zone? I thought we were in a man to man, but in our man defense, we switch everything and there was a lack of communication that left OG free.

What the hell was going on with Wanamaker? He was very hesitant and traveled twice.

Van Gundy said we were in a zone, so I looked closely. We were. OG floated freely along the baseline, and Brown didn't rotate. Jaylen got there, but I don't think he was supposed to be in that area. Someone messed up big time. NO rotation to the weak side. If we were in full man denial, no way does he get that shot off. AND, Tacko should at least jump to try to block Lowry's vision..............I really hope that this one play doesn't give them momentum going forward. I think we are the better team!

All great points! Like to all of them but am on the road. I do agree that it was a wake up call. Lowry is tough and he will be tough going on to the next game. But we have the guys and what it takes to kick their asses. We just cant be complacent like we have been almost all year long.

Love the vib this offseason here on board. That tells me that we like this team assembled and we seem more confident on their abilities to beat opponents.

Not enough time to inbound, get it back to Lowry and let him shoot. Put a body near every one of the other 4.

If the Celts just went straight up man to man then there would be no one open because the Celts switch everything. But Brad opted to use a Zone Defense in that last possession. That's why I keep saying this loss is because of the coach's wrong decision.

The reason the Celtics will win a championship is because they have multiple star players. Tatum is just one of them. This Celtics team doesn't rely on one player to win games. You want to get on Petey for changing positions - arent you the king of "Tatum is Batman, everyone else is Robin." And I argued with you for 2 years on that. Then, Tatum proves you right and me wrong. So I am willing to admit that we've had good , respectful debates on the subject. And Im happy to tell you were right, I was wrong. Tatum is batman. Props for seeing this before I did. Yes, it's true Tatum is the best player on the team. But I disagree that Tatum is the leader. Right now it's Marcus Smart who's the pack leader.

Marcus Smart is the heart and soul of this team.
Jason Tatum is "the man" on the court that the entire team looks to when they need a bucket.
Jaylon Brown does not speak much, but when he does folks listen.
Grant Williams talks all the time and nobody listens.
