They got no respect for their opponent. That’s how you lose. Never seen a team cry about every single foul.

Teams too damn soft man. Kobe rarely complained to the refs. He gets a bad call, he comes back next possession and puts someone on a poster. This team, for all the talent, seems to be missing a winning mentality.

Jaylon Brown the best player on the Celtics.

We blame you JT and Marcus smart. We need more Brogdon and white in the game.

Making bad decisions. All those missed 3's, cost the Celtics a win. Drive to the hoop. You can't cheat the game. JB tried, but he couldn't beat Tatum, Smart and the Hawks. Them boys should've had a Hawks jersey on tonight. Lmao.

Why is smart in the game when we got the president on the bench…..

Trae is just giving Joel some more rest for that knee injury

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 6’8” forward play so soft in my entire life… Kid needs to realize he’s not a guard. What a pathetic performance..

Tatum gotta be accountable and watch the film. Clerics too streaky to make it to finals again

One thing we can say to Jayson Tatum: "You are no Jimmy Butler." You want to win but shoot 1-10 for 3's.

Zero accountability from this guy

i don’t know why he didn’t stop shooting threes it literally cost us the win. so many great shooters on this team and and he keeps throwing them up.

They're not ready

tatum a inconsistent god.

what a horrendous 4th quarter by the celtics, not only gave up the lead but completely dropped the ball on the last 3 posessions.

Let’s just stop and talk about the reason they lost. Marcus Smart committing a boneheaded foul at half court with like 12 seconds on the shot clock. Then he tried to argue it when he shouldn’t have even put them in that position

I really don’t give a damn what any Celtics player has to say after a game like this. after winning game 4 they emphasized the importance of CLOSING THE DEAL, and how NOT doing that last year in game 5 against Milwaukee or game 6 against Miami ultimately played a part in their finals loss by wearing them down and putting extra strain on them. if you can’t put away this lowly hawks team up by 13 with 6 minutes left, what reason should we have to believe you can go into Philly/Milwaukee/Miami and take care of business?? these guys just won’t learn…

Guy shot 12 threes, made just one, missed 11 - but he kept on shooting damn threes up to the last two minutes where he, JB and Marcus had three TOs in the last 2:30 of the 4th Quarter!

Stop chucking threes

Now we know his not the guy to have the ball when it matters the most

I really hope they run some drills for passing out of late game traps. Get some creative actions that open up looks when they trap Tatum or Brown. That has been a major weakness in the last two playoff seasons

JT soft. Spends more time complaining to refs then actually balling.

He looks completely rocked.

I need a closer and this is not him

The right time and the right patient’s

Stop crying to the refs you bum and PLAY please. THANK YOU! I have said this a million times but Jaylen > Jason. One has heart and one doesn't.

JT is not that guy! He has no fight or intensity on the floor. If his shot is not dropping, then so be it, with him. His game is so inconsistent.

Boston will come out in game 6, look like a title contender and win the series. Would anybody be surprised?

Tatum sucks when it matters

bro letting JB down smh

A good leader would say I stunk up the court and i have to play better, instead of saying we all made mistakes. Come on JT play better

tatum got no moves like brown. tatum a tough shot maker but you rather get that easy shot after you break em down like brown. tatum just shoot over you.

Behold the modern day Carmelo Anthony

If Boston don't make the EFC, they could lose their best player and be stuck with Tatum

JT is a 6'9 forward that wants to play like Steph, but he is not nearly as efficient from 3. 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

Keep running and pushing the pace. Stop slowing things down at the end of the game.

Our stars let us down a lot. Tatum with his inconsistency..Brown with his turnovers.🤦🏾‍♂️

Jayson tatum made lots of mistakes today but we’ve been in this situation b4 and I am not worried. this team normally needs to learn to play a full 48 minutes sooner rather than later. Remember that bucks series game 5 when we blew that 4th quarter lead and collapsed they went up 3-2 on us, and then JT dropped 46 in their home court on an elimination game. This man normally it takes him to learn first and then he responds next game. I have confidence that he will respond next game, he is good when he goes through adversity. I think we win game 6 and atleast the team gained some humbleness that playing 42 minutes isn’t enough to win a game. You gotta play 48. And I think that’s what they learned from this loss and hopefully next game they play a full 48 mins and we close it out. And maybe this might be the spark we needed for future series and they will continue to never keep their foot of the gas again. If we win the finals by running through every team remember this loss is what sparked it all

playoff tatum came alive today

Celtics looking hella goody😂😂

JT sorry you don’t show up when it’s needed most . JB does !! Where are your big time shots ????? Disappointing

See you back in Boston for game 7 - Good luck 🥴

My friend always asks ,”What have you learned?” Or has there been any learning? Clearly Tatum can’t say there has been significant learning. He was horrible from three, undisciplined a lot of the time, and watched as the Hawks took the game in last five minutes. He drones on about getting rest and looking at tape. Doesn’t mean a thing if it doesn’t affect his attitude and play. Forget about your shoes, JT, and give an all star performance. If not Mazzula needs to sit him and Smart when they hurt the team.

The reason this team loses is because Tatum is the leader. Brown should be the leader. Plays much harder. I wouldn’t be surprised if brown is moved because they think Tatum is Kobe and wins mvps and chips

I don't think they did solve it I thought the timeouts were poorly timed.

His inconsistencies are very alarming!

no we don’t know 😂

Everyone hating on Tatum… *clears throat* “Haters are a good problem to have. Nobody hates the good ones. They hate the great ones.” - Kobe (Comment I want the smoke 😘)

Coach K might’ve been right about you JT

Driveeee tatum bro, when u drive and use your height you are a beast bro, sometimes u play like your 6’4 your 6’9 bro cmonnnn

If Jayson played with consistency he’d be MVP

What do all of the Celtics collapsing moments have in common… Tatum bringing the ball up late in games and totally ruining the flow of the offense. He needs to play off the ball in the 4th quarter and let Derek or smart bring the ball up because they make the right plays to get the offense going

The Celtics definitely tripping to think they're some great 3 point shooting team, take midrange but Hawks in 7

“We wanted to win” no you didn’t bro

There's no doubt about my mind. They should have won the finals last year but when your best player has 100 turnovers in the playoffs and your second best player has 77 turnovers of the playoff which was by far the most out of anyone... It's hard to win games against good opponents

Tatum gotta get in the weight room

This loss is JT's fault. 1 of 10 from 3. such a bad night for him. If Celtics lose this series, it will be because of this game. I see this series going game 7.... which is not good for the Celtics

How many uncontested floaters did Trey Young get in last night's game?.. The guy is 6'1" at best on a stack of books and got to the paint anytime he wanted and there wasn't a green jersey within 5 ft of him it felt like

Dawg. You aren’t Steph Curry. Calm it down behind that 3 point line. Especially when your shot ain’t hitting. Take it to the rim man.

That's taking responsibility. Shooting 1 from 11 from behind the arc and blaming it on turnovers. Yeah turnovers cost us but you have to take some responsibility for that. The way he was showing off in the all star game with little or no pressure and when it counts he just choked.

No dog Tatum what up

Tatum has no clutchness in the 4th and makes bad decisions with the ball often, like chucking early clock contested 3s and iso-ing rather than driving and kicking, which is what makes this team so good. It's rare to see a superstar so willing to bail out the other team late with his terrible shot selection - Trae Young early in this series comes to mind

Brogdon and white all day !

After giving Jayson that technical, it's obvious the refs want to extend the series.

Brogdon, white, Brown, Tatum & Rob finish the game.

Jimmy will cook Tatum lol dude has no killer instinct at all. Celtics will not win a championship with this version of Tatum, so passive

Yo JT take fucking ownership you want all the stardom but tbh as of lately have done less and less superstar plays... I don't the last time that I have even seen a nice drawn up play where we have had a buzzer beater. Anyway you went 1-11 3pt in a close out game.... wtf?!?!?!!?!

if he makes ONE more 3, the game is over. dude just KEPT chucking up contested jump shots. costly turnover at the end of the game. this is ON YOU

Plus they need a dam offensive play book this is friggin playoffs man!! You out hauser out there and then over look him for open shots!!!! Like certain guys if they are in the court should be shooting otherwise shouldn’t be on the court!!! why is Grant getting no burn!??

This team is notorious for blowing leads and playing careless lackadaisical basketball.. I'm a die hard Celtics fan and I am beyond frustrated because this team should be the best team in the NBA based off their two best players and their depth, especially Williams is healthy.. on too many possessions I watch Tatum or brown spend too much time dribbling at the top of the key while four other guys stand around. Watching and whichever one had the ball in that possession ends up dribbling between three guys and turning the ball over or trying to drive against three guys and getting the balls swiped off their own leg and turning it over.. They don't value possessions and make stupid passes that end up as easy transition dunks or layups for the opponent

Damn come on my Celtics 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Damn! These interviewers askin some tough ass questions. This how Boston is?? I woulda been walked off, like fine me.🖕 Basically saying, “so JT, why were y’all trash tonight? Was it because you were trash orrrr….???”, sheesh!😂

Who is your best playmaker? Brogdon or Smart? Smart is a legit 6th, Brogdon is a legit starter. That's fact. Derek White has been the 3rd best player. Why was he sitting in the 4th Marcus playing? Joe needs to do what's right. Need to see Brogdon used more, that's why he sat the bench all year, to play in the playoffs. So F-ing use him!! This is getting ridiculous

He played terrible and horrible coaching and defense by the Celtics on the Tre shot. Still sick this morning.🤬

Stop heaving up 3s and turning the ball over!

I smell an upset and Hawks will win this series.... I know this Boston Celtics blueprint, its the same as the NBA finals last year how they get rattled at crucial minutes... For me Miami still has the best basketball winning culture team. And Boston with a loaded roster they always do the same bonehead plays when it matters.... They where just lucky Jimmy Butler missed the last shot last season but that final minutes they where already choking. Hawks in 7 and Sixers or Heat in the NBA finals.

You cost us the game

Why do you need film to tell you to STOP SHOOTING 3s. 1 for 11 bro!

Jason needs to get it together…this is the easiest Championship Road in forever. The best team shouldn’t be losing that game at home to the Hawk’s

If that was Lebron's IQ .... Lebron will always make the right play and will make a play to find Jaylen Brown who is hot. Jayson "Wannabe Kobe" Tatum

Jayson ‘UHM” tatum

Not saying the right things

I'm done rooting for this guy. He's a Laker in disguise😂

Jason needs to Man Up, they had respect uma umdoka they don't for mazzula, turnovers are how we lost the championship last year and there Still doing it

jaylen brown is so much better than this guy...one of the most overrated player right now is Tatum

And I don't think this coach can press the right buttons to get this team dialed in when they need to be... They fart around with inferior teams like the Hawks and now this series is probably going to go seven which means Philly is going to be so well rested by the time the next series starts. And even though Boston is young, they're going to get tired at some point in that series

I am worried because this isnt a issue like everyone think!! This isnt lack if respect for opponent or some simple fix!!! Thus is a fundamentals issue!! up by 10 3 mins left chucking up threes like they curry !!! or the chronic ovver dribbling up and down the dam court!!! the sloppy passing all of it!! Its a fundamentals issue!! They havent fixed it since last year why? because they haven’t recognized the problem!!! To me thats is most concerning!!! Because they may get through hawks sure but they WILL not get away with this stuff against higher competition aka sixers bucks heat!! Pheonix lakers warriors!! They willl have not shot at beating under these circumstances!!! They need balll movement everywhere stop over dribbling!! they ALL doo it!!! they need to learn how to ply with a lead up by ten late in games you need to drive to basket and keep drawing fouls or at least find the easy buckets!! They need to stop the sloppy lob passes that keep getting picked off because there is no force behind them!! Too many issues to count and they haven’t recognized one of them in two years!!!! Concerned celtic fan here!

They ain’t never gonna learn

mazzulla wtf are you doing no time outs sitting MB DW WHAT are you doing

Hi🎉

Get back on DEFENSE and stop crying about every foul, JT. He may not realize it but if ur thinking abt fouls, that means ur not locked in. Stop being so sensitive. When the win is on the line, you need to be worrying about stops and scoring. Everything else is an afterthought. I know these days getting to the line a lot is part of the playbook but you will never be able to argue ur way in or out of a call from a ref. Control what you can. Control your mind.

Everyone does realize that even with this loss the Celtics will win in ATL they have proven this over and over they obviously have a issue that may not win a title but they will beat ATL let's be real

I love the Boston Celtics man. I really do. They've been doing this for a long time. They make some of the dumbest decisions on the court. Last night you would have thought all of them were Steph curry with how much threes they jacked up. Made a whole bunch of boneheaded plays and let Atlanta take that game. Smh

It’s your fault wtf is 19 points

Is it time to finally call Tatum a cancer?

He’s too relaxed does he not want the ring? The way he played last night. He was not focused whatsoever. He shot 11 3s and only made 1. He started off like 0-5 from 3 and he kept shooting them. Someone needs to get fired bcuz they are hurting his game. He doesn’t drive enough or shoot middys. He’s didn’t even help JB he actually hurt him by shooting 11 3s

Please trade with 4-1; 4-2

Double team Trae. Let someone else beat you! 🤡🤬

Love Jayson as a player...but past two games he's been passive.

Hi.
