I'm starting to realize this is a huge part of why Lebron dominated for so long. It really bums you out to see player after player get injured, but then you realize that's the norm, and that Lebron is just the exception.
Truly terrible coaching performance tonight. Between starting Theis and then benching him, and not playing PP, it was just a ton of mistakes.
Theis should basically be playing the minutes Bam sits. Having Theis and Al in together is nonsense. And in a game where you are turning the ball over ever six seconds, your best ball handler would help a lot. Just a miserable game by Ime.
Pat Bev said on First Take that MIA needed a 30pt game from Bam if they were going to win. Wow, how accurate was that assessment?
He really does have the matchups to do that every game, when they are either putting the older Horford or a small guy on him. Play big boy.
He's young. If the Celtics lose this series though and he has more games anywhere near this bad, he'll start to hear it though. The NBA media/fan machine loves nothing but to tear down guys they've built up.
Re: Pat Bev
He should consider coaching when he's done playing.
James Harden fucking sucks and I've long held this opinion which is why he was the first victim of the avatar curse.
Tatum is pretty good. Would love to see him play with Giannis.

I think it's more that the media heads hate to be wrong and so players 'stunk it up' or 'choked' so the analysts can feel better about their picks.
My only point is - Tatum is rising to the status of star. You gotta take the heat for a 3-14 night if that's the case. Comes with the territory.
Dude was like the 7th-8th best player on the floor tonight.
I got his chips the other day. Not that good.
Will try AD's lime/jalapeno next. I feel AD will have the superior chip game.
24 TOs. 24. Mostly unforced. Again the Celtics could have played merely badly and won this game. Infuriating.
I don't wanna hear all the blame on Tatum too, Jaylen got hot but he can take the heat too. Way too soft.
I'm confident they'll respond next game as they have all year but they've made things way harder on themselves.

They showed PJ Tucker hounding the shit out of tatum. He just got worked by a good defender.
LeBron > Tatum > AD regarding the Ruffles IMO. I'm a sucker for Cheddar and Sour Cream though
Everyone don't be me. After staying up 30 hours plus I decided fuck it I'll watch the Celtics game.
Nah this isn't it. He's just an inconsistent "superstar", and when you are inconsistent these are the results. Honestly, he's just a young dude struggling to be the offensive leader of a championship level squad.
Exactly. The monster game 6 made everyone think he arrived myself included.
And it's funny how Udoka said "We don't rely on one guy"… well… that's the Heat. Lol. They can play well even without Jimmy. But if Tatum played even AVERAGELY. Y'all don't lose this game.
Did you like the Tatum BBQ ones? I thought they were pretty bland, the BBQ flavor was weak. Maybe my bag had wack flavor powder distribution, hah.
I guess I will cave, I'll try the Lebron ones too, hehe.
Yeah he scored 10 in the previous series in a game where his team wasn't rolling. Sort of what I'm feeling...
You have so many peeps here and in the media ready to crown his ass. IMO Jaylen digs way deeper when things aren't going well (as he did tonight).
Heat own the Celtics forever if they win this series
Oof
Oof
I get called crazy for that but he is, but they play get shook every now and then
They were mediocre. The AD ones definitely had more of a punch so you might like them. The pure zest of the line/jalapeno I thought was good but hard for me to eat more than a few
Yup. JB gets in his own head as well, but has shown the ability to fight through it. Sometimes it can be really rough and he doesn't get results like tonight though. Just a bummer. The man is super talented, but sometimes guys just don't overcome the mental hurdles.
This could honestly just be his ceiling as well. Really talented player that isn't consistent enough to win a championship unless the stars align.
You both are wrong. Did you see Jaylens handle tonight? If Miami suddenly decided that Tatum was no longer the number one guy, and focused on Jaylen what would happen? He would get eaten alive all game, and would consistently have 8 plus turnover games. He simply doesn't have the handles.
yes. jaylen is great but absolutely not a #1 scoring option
People keep talking about who dominates quarters of play, that shit doesn't matter if you lose games.
No one gives a fuck about how many quarters of play Michael Jordan's bulls won. What a useless stat to hang your hat on

Yes. Tatum is clearly far more gifted offensively. Brown is a pretty limited dribbler and relies on blowing by lesser defenders because of the attention Tatum gets from defenses. The one thing I'll say is Brown seems to get in his own head less often, but thats both a gift and a curse sometimes for guys like Brown (and Smart) that can lead to them doing too much.
Miami is at least going to win one more because we haven't got the "Smart Thinks He Is the #1 4-16" shooting performances that come once every five games.
Its a misleading thing to reach for because Quarters aren't played in vacuums. You have to consider the context. Example the third quarter tonight was effectively a tie, 25-25, but Miami did that with zero minutes from Jimmy Butler.
I think he's just as good which is why I never got why he was the one ppl always wanted to trade. Brown doesn't get as much love.
Man overreactions galore tonight. Don't let Jaylen off the hook because he got a bit hot in the second half. Jaylen was fucking garbage tonight and played with no force, toughness, or discipline. He gave back everything he scored. He had 1 assist and 7 TOs with pathetic defense. And I love Jaylen.
And the people saying Tatum shouldn't have come back in can get out of here.
Team has bounced back every time they're challenged this season so I'm gonna have faith again. I think they will again, but I'm also concerned that seemingly every player on the team is hurt right now.
Also, god damn Bam answered the call today. What a performance.

Yeah, the story of this game is Bam balled out. He was very aggressive, got the ball early in the possession to initiate and make plays, plus they were smart to take advantage of his ability to ball handle in transition and off rebounds as well.
And that's with Butler missing a half and Herro continuing to play poorly in this series (and looks like he got hurt as well). They absolutely needed it.
amazing that miami managed to win despite a 28-5 free throw differential in boston's favour (before intentional fouls)
Wasn't just FTs either. That Jaylen Brown travel where he elbowed Lowry in the chin for a no call was massive
