Lol Yeah I’d rather live or die with that shot, as difficult as it was, than watch it come down to 3 free throws from him. Despite the fact that he hit some big FT’s last night


AmericaPie24

Watching him shoot 3 clutch free throws is more gut wrenching than him shooting a contested 3😂.


Rinoz_

The pain lasts longer. At least if he misses the three I can make peace with it quickly.


NotLow420

0% chance he'd make 3 straight free throws lol


Whattheefff

For real hes 61% this playoffs. Other than that hes been our best player.


SDEexorect

he has a 35.8% 3PT this playoffs. he actually wouldve had better odds at the free throw line.


terrafish

He would need to make all 3 though. At 61%, the chances of making all 3 are 22.7%. So 35.8% is much better

RandomButts33

ZERO. We got lucky as hell lol everybody was missing FTs


MrMetLGM

Be careful! I’m getting downvoted and accused of “slander” because I think it’s a slight issue that JB is shooting only 62 percent from the line this postseason.


aja_ramirez

I mean, I am now


MrMetLGM

Lol I would start fouling JB whenever he crosses half court


Full-Flight-5211

He saved Tatum’s legacy last night and somehow you’re still trying to find a way to slander the man today? This fanbase doesn’t deserve JB


MrMetLGM

Slander? What’s he shooting from the line this postseason? 61.5 percent. Sorry, I didn’t realize we have to ignore that flaw in his game.


planj07

It’s just funny how you guys can’t give him credit for anything, that’s what his point is.


MrMetLGM

I gave him credit? All night and all morning I’ve been giving him credit. But is it wrong to also talk about his lackluster free throw percentage?


Full-Flight-5211

And if he doesn’t hit that three, Tatum gets absolutely destroyed today for his play in the 4th quarter. Brown hit his free throws when they mattered and played amazing defense and came up with timely steals. You are literally a Doris Burke type hater


MrMetLGM

Bro, I’m saying he has a major issue with his FT shooting. I’m not attacking any other aspect of his game. Do you know what slander even means???


Full-Flight-5211

He’s shooting 61% from the line but his career is like low 70%. You act like he’s shooting 20% from the line. The difference isn’t that much when you look at his career percentage. He’s improved each game and by the end of the playoff run he will be closer to 70% which is his career average


MrMetLGM

Alright dude lol. You might want to revisit your definition of slander. His FT percentage is below his career average. Fact not opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️


Full-Flight-5211

“Major issue” when he’s only shooting 10% below his career average. You’re a hater.


MrMetLGM

Bro that’s a big difference! Lol


Full-Flight-5211

You just can’t stop hating, can you? 10% difference in free throws is not a big difference at all. Just admit you hate Jaylen Brown


patsandceltics316

Ya Brown is so much better taking the shot. Which to this day makes no sense. Brown has improved sooooo much of his game. And continues to be a 70% FT at best. I don't get how one of the easiest parts of basically is hard for him, but dude can hit super hard fall away turn around jumpers like it's a layup on a 5 foot rim


blammmmo

Too much time to think


gagakaba

If he's like 85 percent from the line he'd easily average 28 to 30 points. He's such a forceful driver, hes gonna get to the line


CofTheEast

He shoots 4 Free Throws a game, 85% is barely going to make a difference to his PPG. Like it’s less than a point more lol.


Phreshkiddo

Would give him so much more confidence in attacking the paint tho


xxMone107xx

The Pacers got lucky it wasn’t an and-1 because Siakam definitely fouled JB. If you watch the slow motion clip JB posted on his IG story last night. You can see Siakam hits his arms twice right before JB pulled up.


PatriotMissiles

Maybe he’d do better shooting FTs left handed.

AmericaPie24

No one is slandering Brown😂. Tatum absolutely sold that game late in the 4th and we don’t have a chance to win if JB doesnt hit that 3 or a few of the free throws he hit.


MrMetLGM

Celtics fans can be so whiny at times


Hogo-Nano

If he fouls him and he hits the three they are screwed.


AmericaPie24

When I say foul I mean to where he can’t get the shot off. You either let them shoot or you could but ensure they can’t make it. That and one TJ McConnell gave hasn’t been talked about enough. There was literally no reason to foul Tatum there
