Well, not much is going right. This is the type of game they need to learn to win. Gut check time.

Why are the Boston Celtics continuing to settle for 3’s when the Cavs have Tristan Thompson as their big?

Tatum is playing with such bad energy.

trying to find a positive, Jaylen looks much better at the FT line last 2 games.

People have indicated I'm too negative. Thought I would throw a positive in there. and now Mitchell with the game take over. Wish Tatum and Brown could do that more often.

Just a dismal effort from the Js. Pritchard only decent game.

Really, really terrible performance. It’s still just a game, but the disappearing act by Tatum is scary. Let’s see what happens in the next one.

Definitely need to move on from whatever the hell that was. This group has been pretty resilient under Joe, so I’m hopeful for a game 3 bounce back. That second half was the worst they’ve played all season. Really perplexing

This one they really packed it in once Mitchell hit that circus 3. Really concerning effort, but it’s just one game so I’ll try not to be too pissed off.

Out rebounded by 13 in a home playoff game. Issue tonight was lack of effort once it was clear shooting was off. Yuck - just awful to sit through that.
Anyone catching what coach Joe's comments are?

The effort level by the Boston Celtics tonight was the worst of any playoff team I’ve seen this year.

But this was defintely not “just one game.” This is a 5 year mix of brilliance and dog crap like tonight.

This season has been kind of different, but they played like a #1 overall pick tonight instead of a #1 team. They need to smoke the Cavs in Game 3 to assert dominance.

Games like this and game 2 against Miami really make it hard to see a win over the Timberwolves who I'm picking to win the Western conference now. Tatum has been fine, but I want to see an MVP-caliber string of games. Not someone who can set a few picks and make a few shots. He's going to be the highest paid player in the NBA. Is it too much to ask for a 40 point night at some point? Again, not saying he's been bad, but he hasn't looked like one of the best players in the postseason.

Brown and Horford are unhappy about the Cs game 2 effort. Tatum is chill.
Let's see how they play tomorrow.

Yep. Would've been Celtics in 5 with Porzingis.

They just still seem like they are in regular season mode and coasting. I think this series goes to 6 then we have a battle of a series against the Knicks before the real test in Minnesota.

I worry though about dragging out series and exhausting guys instead of clamping down and getting the breather they could use. Not to mention potential injuries by playing more games. I'm very concerned that so far Derrick White (who I absolutely love) has been arguably than Tatum thus far. I just want the superstar to have a few, "hop on my back" moments.
