He played 44 minutes, including the entire 4th quarter. You could tell his legs were dead...most of his late shots were coming up well short if not totally missing the rim completely.
Yeah, I agree with you. They've crumbled mentally. Hopefully they can win game 6 to at least force a game 7.

I didn't watch the game, so I guess I can't trash him for that. Darn, that makes me feel worse as I figured he just played poorly. If they're riding him that much and still got taken apart, doesn't bode to well for the next game. Really hope the Celtics can pull it off and win game 6. They gotta play with more confidence. Smart needs to be better and Derrick needs to show up and give them something other than nothing.
Had some super lazy low IQ turnovers to help dig the hole in the 1st half.
Caught fire on treys for a spell in first part of the 3rd.
Ime's offensive scheme is offensive. Celtics don't even look like they play on the same team, let alone same core for YEARS.
WarriorRef with some highlight reel momentum changers, i mean we're talking all time .
Nonetheless the Celtics game plan is ass and in the end Tatum was neither good nor bad net.
Not gonna do it.
Can still pull it off. Bucks did vs the Durbettas in Game 6 and 7 last year.
Cavs pulled off the near miracle in 2016.
Tatum with 4 assists to go with 4 turnovers in yet another Boston loss.
have to agree with those posters mentioning how mentally frail boston looked last night; it was one of the few times this post-season where they seemed to be shrinking in the moment. those turnovers and missed free throws were symptomatic of a fragile mental state, imo.
Yeah there was so much respect between both teams. Never trash talked each other that entire two year finals run. Lebron, wade and Bosh always seemed to praise our guys too. They hated the Pacers and Lance Stephenson way more. Really I hated their role players more: Battier and Allen for sure.
I'll agree with you here: If the Celtics plan is for Tatum to go out and put up 30+ efficiently, this series is over.
Not sure if he's injured, tired, or just isn't that kinda star...but at this point no one should equate him shooting more shots to making more shots.
Tatum was actually super efficient in the first half...then put up a stinker of a second half including 5 (YES FIVE) airballs.
He has also now officially clinched history for a playoff run with the most turnovers....so not sure if him passing more if really better either.
To the point of our discussion, Ime tolerates nay enables this nonsense.
Agreed I couldn't stand Chalmers, Battier. Chalmers was smug and dirty while Battier was low key dirty but acted like he was innocent.
So does a Warriors win make a Wiseman trade more or less likely?
Celtics bench guys White and Pritchard taking them down tonight. Lost the lead when those guys came in.
GS has more team athleticism than Boston.
Boston's bench lacks athleticism.
Well that should do it for the Celtics. Their goose is just about cooked.
Why don't they ever tech green?
Need a miracle
I hit GS +310 ML early 1st
I honestly thought after the Celtics played in back to back 7 game series that they would show more mental toughness and resilience than this. Really disappointing tbh.
Tatum is such a sloppy player.
It's like he is going through the "proper motions" but isn't actually feeling out his defender or playing by instinct.
tatum is not a superstar. He just isn't. Celtics gotta get this down to 10 going into the 4th
Refs doing everything they can now to not let this game turn into an embarrassing blowout
i think wed all like to see a compe ive game
