They were fine without him this season to begin with.
@DemtriusJones69
May 1, 2026 at 11:56 am
It’s like he comes back and Celtics go back to just chucking up 3’s for dear life
@richschneiderman613
May 1, 2026 at 12:03 pm
@DemtriusJones69bro they chuck 3s weather he playing or not STFU already
@Frank-nz1wr
May 1, 2026 at 1:52 pm
@DemtriusJones69 they play a regular season style of basketball that wins games, it does not, and HAS not translated to playoff basketball. If they played a traditional way that wasn’t the mazzulla style, they wouldve made the finals 4 straight years from 2022-2025. They lack talent this season, they were just a hard working team, its no surprise that their winning began when they just crashed the glass and chucked up shots all season to win the margins, that doesnt work in the playoffs when everyone is playing extra hard and u cant get those same advantages, all while laying the same type of bricks

They need to sit him, but if the Celtics are gonna do something stupid, be my guest.

Tatum is a big dumb jock expect him to do something dumb
@MannyHernandez-rs7sy

And Saturday night I’ll be correct. You will be correct. And late at night when I tell my woman to step ima cry into my pillow. I. Dislike. Jason. Tatum
@PatRich-k4y7n
May 1, 2026 at 12:03 pm
They should have never allowed him to come back they didn’t need him they were doing just fine but he must didn’t like everyone saying it was JB team his ego made him return and I said he will end up paying for it
@ISELLTICS-LIVE
May 1, 2026 at 12:32 pm
Well if he healthy enough to play he should it’s like they have a chance to win a finals idk why we forget if these guys really care to play let them play
@paulluu17
May 1, 2026 at 12:33 pm
if jt didnt play. sixers would’ve won 4-1
@hero7523
May 1, 2026 at 1:35 pm
This series wouldn’t still be going on if JT wasn’t playing lol. They didn’t need him is stupid. Pistons kept winning when Cade lungs collapsed clearly the regular season and postseason is different
@romariorene
May 1, 2026 at 5:44 pm
@hero7523you don’t know that, he helped the Celtics win games against philly I agree but it’s not how that works. I know it’s hard to believe, but the timberwolves might have lost if ant was on the floor. One player can change everything for better or for worst on the outcome of the game especially a player with a high usage rate, sometimes 4 or 5 key players feeling confident and having a great game is better than 1 superstar having a great game and everyone else being cold. We don’t know how things would have been without JT and we will never know. Other guys might have stepped up or felt comfortable with more touches how they been playing all year, or they could have gotten dog walked.

Where’s the same hate for Boston like they had for Detroit?
@PaM07675
May 1, 2026 at 2:44 pm
Detroit is down 3-2, Boston is still tied 3-3. Needing to win 1 is different than needed to win 2 in a row
@JermSama2212
May 1, 2026 at 2:49 pm
@PaM07675not when the Celtics been talked about being the best team in the East going 7 games vs a Philly team who barely got Embiid back
@PaM07675
May 1, 2026 at 5:36 pm
@JermSama2212
It’s true, Boston will get dragged through the dirt today. But their situation is not nearly as drastically bad as Detroit’s because again, winning 2 is harder than winning 1 at home. If Boston does lose game 7, then they will absolutely get tons of deserved hate
@Lordandmaster26
May 1, 2026 at 12:31 pm
if anything the celtics was suppose to be a team with depth… he shouldnt have been playing 40+ minutes a game this series
@Izporg9
May 1, 2026 at 2:08 pm
I still think they are, just the 8 man rotation isnt working!
@kobe2curry4rose1
May 1, 2026 at 2:14 pm
Nah that’s how it’s always been. Playoff time everyone’s rotation gets cut to 8 or 9
@innerdog15
May 1, 2026 at 2:59 pm
I think they play him to much minutes when he came back. Acl is no joke.they have played him 15 minutes tops and no back to back games.
@Lordandmaster26
May 1, 2026 at 6:23 pm
@kobe2curry4rose1off a torn acl one of the other players being paid millions should be able to pick up at least 10 minutes of production… you have Derrick rose in your username…
@kobe2curry4rose1
May 1, 2026 at 8:22 pm
@Lordandmaster26Lol I can tell you dont watch basketball or are new to it. The best players always play more minutes in playoffs.

@maddmaxx74
May 1, 2026 at 1:39 pm
He shouldnt returned in the first place! This team doing was doing great! Now look! Look at the offense! Where is the coaching! Tatum ego ruined Boston year! I would trade him and roll with JB!

Yup
@David-fl1oj
May 1, 2026 at 5:33 pm
This is how it should go…
Fire the coach and bring in ex Celtics player Carlyle…
Trade Tatum to Minnesota for Edward’s and another player… you dont have grit in Tatum unlike brown.
@David-fl1oj
May 1, 2026 at 5:34 pm
And for god f’n sakes… stop letting brown carry up the ball!!
@rgv956EastSideOfDaBurg
May 1, 2026 at 6:54 pm
He’s getting paid 300+ million and if he feels healthy, let him play, his body, his choice, just like no one telling u stop eating BBQ chicken on a Sunday evening, u stop worrying about what JT want to do or not do, carry the hell on perk
