Celtics blow a 30 point lead to lose by 2 to a Hawks team with Trae and 2 regular starters. That is the main weakness of the team. Where are the clutch points ?
I literally just read that,. Im stunned. That's the type of thing that worries me about the Celtics especially at this time of year. They have ridden the wave but this is not the time of the season to get complacent
Clutch points.......they were no shows in this one Phil . Not a good sign for me. Lakers always blow a sizable lead but they aren't going to where the Celtics are supposed to land so when the Celts do this , suddenly makes me wonder

I get to wonder why or how Tatum can score 37 points and not get 4 points with 30 seconds to go. And he makes those 3s look so easy during the early stages.

Exactly, Steve. Playoffs is pressure basketball. As an extreme example, although Kyrie is a head case, the guy can find his way in or out to make clutch shots. It is not a time to have cold feel and lack of confidence. The D will get tighter when the game in close, and a guy like Steph or Kyrie will smoke the net in such cases. Tatum and Brown, 2 of the highest paid in league, has not morphed into that level. They have a few months to work on it, I wonder how it is practiced? If Jeff van Gundy can help ?
and here's another reason why I feel the same fate awaits the Suns as they lose to the SAS by 2 points.
We can't blame resting their stars as it isn't allowed now and secondly there are 7 spots still up for grabs in the WC so they have to play tough
The social media is one place where anything can go viral within minutes and that has been the case with Steve Kerr and Draymond Green altercation in training. But is it true? Let's get to know.
Maybe it's a bit of an overreaction to sound the harsh alarm but I just read some fan comments which said Celtics didn't have to grind it out at all cost to beat Atlanta since they've secured a top 2 or 3 spot already. True, no need to risk injuries to get the meaningless win. But it is a good practice game for Tatum to make those last second shots.
Per checking, Celtics have in fact clinched the conference, so that game was pretty insignificant. Maybe they were fine with losing it. They deserve some rest after a great regular season. LOL

the Celtics clinched the conference last week but cmon Phil, up 30 points and then lose to Atlanta. This is not the time to become complacent. This is something the Lakers do but not the Celtics

Rockets are 9-1 in their last 10 and have a 9 game win streak. GSW are 4-6 in their last 10 and are all of 1/2 game ahead of the Warriors. I think the Rockets are going to get the 10 spot and the Warriors are going fishing. That means a Rockets and Lakers playin and the way the Rockets are energized I hope they send the Lakers fishing early as well.
