Game Thread GAME# 59: CELTICS @ BLAZERS - FEBRUARY 25, 2020 - TUESDAY, 7:00 PM, NBCSNW

[TBpup]

What are you talking about? He's in the game. He's getting minutes. What reward do you want him to get?

Yep...his big 4 minutes and yanked. Can't believe Wenyen isn't putting up a double-double with that opportunity.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Maybe? Weve seen him have really good stretches before, Im just not sure he’s actually good enough in a playoff series to that against Milwaukee or Toronto.

Tatum took the Celtics to the ECF and got to a Game 7 two seasons ago. Bucks have yet to do that.

 

[kjironman1]

Seriously I don’t even mind it. Play the bench.
It’s entertaining at the very least.

 

[VenomXL]

Tatum is hitting some very tough shots.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That's the thing with them.
You guys asking if Tatum can come up big.
I mentioned Kemba.
And Gordo is a stud.
I dunno......maybe?

Maybe! I feel like Ive never seen Kemba play a playoff game... I have to have though. Again I think theyve got a lot of talent, Just most teams that win championships have like a top 5ish type guy.

 

[Labinot41]

Lillard before the All Star break: It's far from over, you better belive that

Also Lillard after the All Star break: I think i'm gonna miss 3-5 games

 

[hoopsjock]

Hey at least we saved Jody some money this year so it’s actually a successful season.

They should've gone all the way and gotten out of the luxury tax though. Then it would've been meaningful to save money.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Tatum is hitting some very tough shots.

That's what he does. He's this generation's Kobe.

 

[Strenuus]

Omg do I love this team. Their damn good. Kemba Walker isn’t even playing and their still super elite. They are way better than us it’s not even close

I mean, to be fair, there's probably half the G-leauge this is better than this team right now (not counting people who are injured)

 

[B-Roy]

Watching this team without Dame is torture.

 

[Strenuus]

That's what he does. He's this generation's Kobe.

Yikes. I wouldnt go that far.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Tatum took the Celtics to the ECF and got to a Game 7 two seasons ago. Bucks have yet to do that.

Im aware but Horford was very good for them that year. They were missing IT (I think). Also I think the east is actually better now then it was then.

 

[VenomXL]

Good grief Tatum.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Watching this team without Dame is torture.

Yup...

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Tortured- still think Boston doesn't have a superstar?

 

[illmatic99]

hey terry, wake up.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Tortured- still think Boston doesn't have a superstar?

Yeah.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Yikes. I wouldnt go that far.

It's true. He's modeled his game after Kobe.

 

[hoopsjock]

Im aware but Horford was very good for them that year. They were missing IT (I think). Also I think the east is actually better now then it was then.

Nah, that was the season they traded IT that summer. They were missing Hayward from the opening minutes of game 1 of the regular season and Kyrie most of the year.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Celtics got so much better when Kyrie left

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

You guys do realize the Blazers barely beat Detroit...

 

[kjironman1]

Not really sure why Stotts put the second string back in? Might have well just finished the game with the end of the bench?
Doesn’t look like they got enough to win this one?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

You guys do realize the Blazers barely beat Detroit...

You do realize we beat the Lakers?

 

[Wade Garrett]

Yep...his big 4 minutes and yanked. Can't believe Wenyen isn't putting up a double-double with that opportunity.

You only get six fouls.

 

[OneSport3]

CJ plays defense like he’s on skates. No sense of positioning, no spatial awareness, no sense of angles. So terrible.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Carmelo with the sky hook. We're scoring now. need some defense.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

You do realize we beat the Lakers?

Well yeah with Dame playing out of his mind. Hate to break it to myself here but this team is one of the worst in the NBA without Dame.

 

[TBpup]

CJ needs to improve on this 9-22 nonsense shooting so he can up his trade value.

 

[AldoTrapani]

You guys do realize the Blazers barely beat Detroit...

That’s why it’s hilarious ppl want the 8Th seed so damn bad. Lol

 

[James lamphear]

CJ another double double Whiteside double double.
