Tatum with 42 points and they lost, what's your excuse now? Keep it for Cancun finals against Cavs

Now Brown can put the team on his back to prove he's better than Tatum like everyone says, right?

We’ll, Brunson and his team have been better pretty much all series.

I completely agree with this. It did not look good, you just have a bad feeling…

Scottish Punk · 05-12-2025, 09:15 PM

How much heat does Mazulla get? Celtics gave away two games of the series with horrendous shooting. Doesn't feel like they adjusted much.

I thought that from his initial reaction but watching the video it seems it almost has to be the Achilles

They just dont have winner mentality. Knicks does, they got down big but fight back. Give credits where credits are due, knicks won it

Doesn't matter anymore...

That looks like an Achilles for Tatum. Might be playing for the 2027 playoff run next.

Sucks to see guys get hurt as bad as this might be.

His ankle never twisted. He was in a wheelchair crying heading back to the locker room.

Unless he crapped himself like Paul Pierce, it's likely something major.

oshmeehan · 05-12-2025, 09:18 PM

Def an Achilles. Looked very similar to Dame's from a couple weeks back

TSonn · 05-12-2025, 09:20 PM

Rough one for Tatum, even though I enjoy watching the Cs lose.

Odd if it is an Achilles, though, most dudes have very little pain. I tore mine in 2023 and it was a super awkward feeling, not much pain until the next day. Then there was A LOT of pain.

Delta5 · 05-12-2025, 09:23 PM

This is a great reminder that Basketball is played on 4 quarters and you shouldn't celebrate after 3 quarters unless your team is leading by 50. Especially with Celtics as they have a knack for choking

Scottish Punk · 05-12-2025, 09:25 PM

Celtics are going to have an interesting off season. Already rumor that Brown maybe traded. Porzingus has a large expiring contract. Horford might retire. What to do with an older Jrue. I think at least one piece is going to be moved. How much salary for a team without their number one all year (if achilles).

They botched their prime in these 3 years by only getting 1. Now they will have to shuffle the roster, their championship window is closing quick

fabiani12333 · 05-12-2025, 09:46 PM

Warriors playing good team basketball right now -- Draymond hitting some threes.

fabiani12333 · 05-12-2025, 09:54 PM

With Curry out, is this Kuminga's coming out moment?

I like the idea of Ant and Kuminga trading baskets.

fabiani12333 · 05-12-2025, 10:25 PM

Warriors looking good near the end of the half.

tjforce · 05-12-2025, 11:13 PM

Ant just smashed the Dubs

blackvodka · 05-12-2025, 11:21 PM

The Warriors needed to find a way to survive without Curry and win at least one game after game 1 so it was a 2-2 tie and Curry could hopefully come back game 6 and give them a chance.

I think the Wolves knew this though. Don't let GS back in this series. Great 3rd by Ant-Man. Warriors will need a perfect quarter.

Just no chance with the Dubs without Curry. He is the engine, always has been. Now , his gravity on offense is the only way players were getting open shots. There isn't a Klay or KD on this team who can drop 30.

Curry, Butler, and Draymond are all signed for two more years. They are also all old. Dubs are going to have to infuse the team with some youth if they plan on making another push in those two years.

If they had kept Nesmith, he and draftmate Pritchard would now be manning the rigging and they would be getting a budget-friendly team geared up for the conference finals.

But the old Boston owners got their ring and their big sale, with just enough burn from the primary engines before one went out.

So all in all, good calculation, as veteran Brogdon led to veteran Jrue and expedited their hunt by a year. Nesmith wasn't really a difference maker till this year.

watch them just bottom out, draft a star, and then be a contender again the year after smfh

Giannis on the Celtics could be a thing. Collectors would rejoice, as they could keep the same team colors.

Except it can't be a thing - the Celtics are in the second apron

The only trade that works is Tatum straight up

So unless you are saying that might happen...
