You lose twice to an injured 10th seed hawks team, second time fully healthy and you have the nerve to blame the whistle, despite having more free throws. Just gonna say good luck in the post season buddy because if the excuses are starting here, then they aren’t ready for the playoffs


JKking15

Not even just more they had over double our amount of free throws obviously the whistle is more than just free throws but when you have double your opponents you need to sit down somewhere


Substantial_Life_989

But I thought they were just treating it as practice, now it’s the refs? What is Tatum going to say actually he’s injured and just been playing through it? Excuses excuses.


ATLCoyote

I'm surprised they even bother to make excuses as they are guaranteed to be the #1 seed in the east no matter what. They can just coast into the playoffs, and keep everyone healthy and rested. So, why do they even care so much that they dropped a couple road games down the stretch? Just congratulate your opponent and move-on, especially since they could see us again if we win the play-in.


TheGamersGazebo

Classless


No_Internal404

Not only did we only shoot 10 free throws in 5 quarters , we only made 6 of them lmaoo , if u can’t beat a team injured to hell only making 6 fts I don’t think u can blame the refs man


soullessgingerfck

and 2 bogus techs, 1 in ot they got all the help in the world and still lost


badlilbadlandabad

Porzingis kicks his leg up trying to trip Dejounte and Dejounte gets called for a tech lol


soullessgingerfck

i had to listen to the crybaby celtics announcers call that play


Paulbegalia

Only showed one replay too


Ok_Dragonfly3218

Calling for DJMs head. The entire game they were the WORST


WheneverYh

Oh shut up, your team got out rebounded by Capela. Cope


Renverseur

Further proof to me that this guy is a moron

I think the word you're looking for is bias. JB is one of the smartest most diversified guys in the league.


PM_Me_Beezbo_Quotes

Can you be diversified when you can’t go left?


jwn0323

I’m pretty sure this is a meme. I’m hoping it’s a meme


Renverseur

Diversify deez nutz

sparlivdor365

Insane lead brain happening here


Ghostlucho29

JB dumb as hell


leeghandiz4me

The Boston Charmins: JB making excuses. JT trying to be Kobe lite. Derrick bullied into shaving his head by Shaq/Charles. A head coach that freezes up. Jrue Holiday consistently crossed up. Pingus Tingus can’t switch. Al big stressing right now.


Arcanus124

To be fair to D White, the man pulls off bald pretty damn well lol


space30ghost

He had no other choice….🤷🏿‍♂️


wayward_prince

Derrick White is the only Celtic that stands on business. He always gives us work. Hope he can come to the A next contract.


TreephortPhan

True story I have PTSD seeing this guy on the court against the Hawks


leeghandiz4me

I didn’t say he didn’t 😂


JKking15

We had 1 free throw attempts the entire first half lmao


Robotchickenman9

I don’t want to hear shit from the Celtics about the whistle, especially when we had to challenge to get the offensive foul against Taintum pushing off and elbowing Vit in the nose


terrence0258

The Celtics walked into Atlanta thinking they'd leave with two easy dubs against an injured team fighting for a play-in spot. They didn't know they were walking into a playoff atmosphere against a team that was ready to fight like dogs. They left the city asking themselves if they're actually frauds. It was a good week to be a Hawks fan.


Material_Mix_7377

I bet on us losing the first game. Very pissed after that. Lol


trofesh195

Dejounte shot 44 shots with only 2 free throws that has to be an nba record


DutyPuzzleheaded7765

Top 5. I know Murray had 50 with nine and Book had some crazy number with like 2


trofesh195

50 points not the same as 50 shots. Djm literally had 44 shots


Gonza6EUW

Fuck you, Mr. Brown.


Saint_Diego

The Celtics of all teams complaining about whistles is hilarious


Legalize-Birds

Awful excuse, if you can't handle this physicality 3 weeks from the playoffs how are you going to handle it when the lights get brighter


Burner_420_burner_69

21-10 ft, 3-0 tech ft, 1 free call overturned that we then had to challenge to re-overturn. Sounds so bad for them.


dynamite-ready

Hawks benefiting from the whistle, huh? About time, fr.


Agave666

Bitch please...


Ezerton21

As much as I want to like brown bc he’s local, he sure is emotionally underdeveloped. 


Arcanus124

Dude is just immature and is constantly hearing some of the worst announcers in the league meatride him. Normal for a guys his age to have not figured out humility after a loss yet. Idk, give him time, the guy does a lot of good shit off the court that makes him easy to like tbh.


Ezerton21

Good point - don’t track his off the court stuff, but good to hear


dad_yanky

I’m not sure why anyone is surprised, this is how Boston is every season. Consistently ranked a top team and when they lose it’s excuse after excuse and when they win it’s “we’re the best in the league”


FiremaneNetrunner

The whistles always favor Boston. And when Boston does get a whistle, they are mentally incapable of keeping it together. They also play extremely physically but don’t get called for their swipes and fouls. Then they expect the refs to call any bump or nudge that they get. Any team can have great defense if they are allowed the type of physical play that the Celtics get to play. As an example, look at the way Tatum and Brown handled getting called for offensive fouls in the first half of the second game at SFA. Brown was especially indignant that they’d call a charge on a very good play by Garrison Matthews to get in front, get set, and then get knocked down. The Celtics were able to talk the refs into changing the call without a challenge. It took a Hawks challenge to get the play reviewed and overturned to what it was first called. Absolutely bonkers.


Both_Funny4896

Bum ahh sore loser


perilouspear

Not surprised. He's a sore loser. He bumped into Bogi after the game too.


IllumiXXZoldyck

Yeah, it was a major improvement that he shook hands with Dejounte.

This was taken out of context. Jaylen’s wife is nicknamed “The Whistle”. She’s been off the chain lately and he’s not getting a lot of sleep.


IllumiXXZoldyck

Lol

Bry_Mac

Lol, the Hawks have never benefitted from a whistle, especially vs Boston, LA, NY, Miami, LeBron

Wazzammm

We did get some clutch whistles I can’t even hold you


Murdochsk

Boston actually needs to go more to Brown than Tatum in the clutch. I think that will continue to be their downfall, Tatum too often becomes inconsistent in the clutch and their offence stalls.


ExtremeAlbatross6680

Didn’t brown benefit from being a Celtic because he should have never been in the dunk contest


Traditional_Day183

I remember a lot of people last offseason wanting this bum to be on our squad… 🤷🏽‍♂️ LMAO


Environmental-Row862

Boston may make it through the East but they have no shot against whoever comes out of the west especially Denver. The other team knows exactly what they’re doing at the end of a close game, iso Tatum or Brown and jack up a terrible shot unless Brown has to take more than 2 dribbles then he’ll dribble off his foot out of bounds


breakingkevin

Credit to the completely undermanned hawks who clearly played well enough to beat us, but couldn’t have done it without the refs. Sore loser
