@bmcdonough1: "Jayson Tatum - you take too many bad shots and look to the refs too much. Jaylen Brown make the foul shots. Celtics don't play hard enough."

@IndyYes: "All familiar to last season. Celtics play down to their competition because they think they're elite. Jaylen Brown misses key FTs. Jayson Tatum is good but he is not late game clutch. They deserve the L."
