Hard to say. I certainly can think of guys I'd rather have as my HC.

At least these last few possessions, they've got good shots and they've just missed them.

Maybe we can play some defense since we haven’t since the 1st quarter?

Yup.

And a really dumb foul by White on that 3.



But then Tatum stopped blowing it and decided to win it.

He just made couple buckets to redeem himself.

But I've said to people all season, Tatum thinking he's Kobe could be the Celtics Achilles heel. He's known to make some bad decisions and take bad shots

He's also so ridiculously talented and can hit some bad shots

Indiana has been bad in OT. Dumb turnovers. To be expected.

Totally changed my outlook of the series. This might be more of a dogfight that I expected.

Great game 1.

a. I feel your saying Tatum "thinking he's Kobe" is foolish of you to say. He doesn't think he's Kobe.
b. Name one NBA player who isn't known to make some bad decisions and take some bad shots.
c. Kobe Bryant is one of the best to have ever played the game. I still don't understand why you would find fault in someone who is not as good as Kobe was, playing the way Kobe did.

a. Correct. But realize who you’re talking to.
b. Sure-I do think Tatum takes more bad shots than most players but that’s bc he can make them ( sometimes )
c. Right. But realize who you’re taking to.

I actually thought last night Tatum deferred too much the last several minutes of regulation. I know balance has been one of the things that has made Boston so good this season, but there were a few straight possessions where it was White and Horford taking the shots, where in playoff crunch time you need your best player to be the one taking those shots and deciding the game.

Tatum had three shots in the last minute or two and missed em ( in regulation ).

Whites shot was bc they gave him a lane and he just missed a fairly gimmie layup.

Indiana is ( rightfully ) shadowing Tatum making it really tough to get him the ball. They are playing WVU kind of defense ( while not being very good at it ) trying to get away with hand checks and shoves and swipes.

Jrue took advantage of that last night.

As someone with no dog in the fight, who always then defaults to rooting for the underdog, it was a much better, competitive game, (Indiana out-performed imo), than I expected. Let's hope it goes 7 games.
