That started from second 1 - they didn’t guard him it’s why he scored so much (fools gold).

Getting nothing from OG and Bridges plus foul trouble on KAT and Brunson combined to give us no chance in this game.

The only guy who showed up and played well was Mitch. Hart played well at times too hitting the threes but his defensive effort in the second half was unacceptable. Rest of the team should be ashamed of themselves. KAT with the stupid fouls is irritating!

It's like they came in expecting the Celtics to roll over and die and that's not going to happen. To close them out we have to play our A+++ game or we are going to choke away this series again.

Remember he had 7 points combined in games 2 & 3 —- that’s 3 of 5 games as a relative zero at least on O

Yeah but he defended Tatum well. He was lost today. No Tatum assignment and didnt get into the game on either end

No Championship has been won without passing. Thibs cannot coach a team to do it. He is simply not a Championship coach. I'd rather lose to Boston and move on from Thibs. Brunson will not allow it tho

Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair

Agree I only mentioned zero on O.

Such a Jekyll and Hyde team —- not fun when you get this kind of performance.

No way he gets fired even if we lose to Boston in seven.

Hart makes the wrong defensive decision almost 100% of the time - uncanny.

Never before and never again. Big Mitch was the best FT shooter for either team and Hart was the best three baller

Very disjoint and frustrating. I know we criticize og and Mikal on nights like this but there was no flow. That’s not their fault

Time to regroup, learn and adjust

Yes - the ball movement was just nonexistent— for whatever reason Kat checked out mentally very early tonight.

In this situation—- I’d say he’d probably be on a very hot seat if we blow 3 straight w/ 2 at home and basically no Tatum or Porzingis.

Correct answer is probably NOBODY.
