Another game where Tatum think its cool to not show up in the first half. This is what @The Q is talking about

Tatum for Wiggins and 2 2nds who says no?

 

[bksballer89]

I'm talking about a 4 point loss. What the fuck are you talking about

A 4 point loss to a team without Embiid after you were double digits favorites is a no show. That is a game they win damn near every time when they show up

 

[Iggloo]

They need to let Maxey cook in this second half and hope that Embiid plays better offensively. Harden doesn't have it, it would seem.

 

[The Q]

Game 1 no (close loss)
Game 2 no (blowout win)
Game 3 no (win)
Game 4 no (lost by 1 on the road)
Game 5 maybe perhaps, didn't get blown out...sometimes the other team is better that day
Game 6 obviously no

You're not objective about your own team, and most of us aren't but you take it too far.

Game 1 without embiid they should’ve won by 40

Al horford even admitted they lost focus once they knew embiid was out

Whatever, you can use whatever words you want. They ain't gonna sweep teams, sometimes the other team wins.

Thank you.

This isn’t that hard to figure out lol

Ok, so? It happens. Warriors lost game 4 they should have won. They still played hard and almost won. I'm not the fan police, you can think what you want, it's just weird to me how personal and emotional some fans are about normal playoff ebbs and flows. I admit I'm a lot less intense about it being full up on titles lately.

Lakers had Lebron and AD last i checked....not the same

 

[eaglesnut]

Uh oh celtics. Dominated the start and only up 7. That's not good for ya.

That's fine. Doesn't change anything we are saying lol. I don't think anyone expected a sweep. If Boston shows up in 1 & 5, this is likely a 4-1 series

 

[Shanemansj13]

Something still needs to change

You can’t no show 50% of your playoff games and expect to win anything

Been a thing since 2018

Multiple coaches. The only common factors are a few players

Trade Tatum

Because it’s been the MO for 6 years

The dubs have done this like once when at 100%

Unfortunately for them it was game 7 with Steph hitting a popcorn vendor instead of klay for an open 3

The Celtics have been like that pre title warriors team that blew 3 20 point leads against the spurs

For 6 straight years

Boston scored 115 points in game 1, they lost by 4. Want to talk no show? Sixers didn't show up in game 2.

 

[The Q]

Trade Tatum

The problem is going iso.

As good as those guys are, they are not Lebron/kd level iso guys

Ball movement was their key and they run away from it at the most important times

I hear you, I just think we put narratives on sports where sometimes it just normal, random, ebb and flow.

They need a new coach

Yes so their defense didn't show up against a team without the MVP out....my point still stands

Yes I agree Philly didn't show up in game 2

 

[Iggloo]

Jalen Brown is looking pretty good going iso. But you may be right about Tatum and that style of play.

Brown is making a case that they aren't that far apart as players, if at all.
