Here we are with another game and another epic 4th quarter collapse. The Celtics lost 109-105 to the Trailblazers after leading 100-89 with 7:35 left. Yes, you read that correct. We scored 5 points in the final 7:35 and all of them were free throws that came with less than a minute left. Not a single field goal made which is just unacceptable for a team with 2 all star level talents (I don't think either should make the all star game). Scal called this the most frustrating loss of the season and he may be right. We've had some pretty horrible collapses in the past but I can't recall another 7 minute scoreless stretch in my life from this team. The only bright spots in this game were Romeo and Grant who both played really well both offensively and defensively but it got outshined by the poor finish. Tatum has now missed every single one of his last 20 3pt attempts and what makes it worse is that he had Nurkic on a mismatch tonight with a chance to win the game and he tried a stepback 3. All game long, Tatum was driving at Nurkic and getting to the FT line and he had the opportunity to turn the corner on him tonight and he opted for the 3pt shot. This team just cannot figure it out.
