Mavericks (6-3) at Celtics (7-1) Game #9 11/11/19

[SCeltic34]

Hopefully just a stinger for Kemba.

[Atzar]

Great game.  Very good win over a quality, competitive team.

Doncic is a monster.  We defended him hard on most possessions, and dude still gave us 34/9/6 with only 1 TO.  He's going to be a problem for this league, especially if Dallas gets him a real running mate instead of a show pony.

Thanks for hanging out guys and gals. That was fun.

Well done, lads!

On to the next!

[Phantom255x]

Last year's team doesn't win tonight. Despite all the lead changes, refs screwing us over quite a bit and fierce DAL counterattacks in the 2nd half, we kept fighting back. Kemba is also proving to be such a better fit for this team than Kyrie.

I hope Kemba isn’t seriously injured.

Thankfully it doesn't look like it. Back spasms most likely.

[BitterJim]

8 in a row, boys!

Are the Celtics the best team in the league? That's a Texas-sized 10-4 good buddy!

You always say nice things about the team, jaypotter33. That's what I appreciates abouts you

[blink]

Phew. Abby Chin says Kemba left due to back spasms supposedly

Well, that is probably better than some other options.
but still, we have had a lot of injuries and illnesses so far...man

He's basically the reason they were an undefeated road team coming in tonight. Even with a no-show by the Zinger (offset by a JT no-show, to be fair), this was tight until the last 2 mins or so.

[Neurotic Guy]

It is GREAT that JT goes 1-18 and the C's win by 10 (oh, and without Hayward).   No complaints about Jayson the last 6 games or so -- guy is still averaging better than 20 ppg even after the blip tonight.

[DrinkinCelticKool-Aid]

Great example of next man up tonight! Nice win!

[hpantazo]

I hope Theis' hand and Kemba's shoulder have a speedy recovery.

Doncic looks like a dirty player to me. Tonight he managed to:

-kick Smart in the nuts

-smack Jaylen hard

-hit Kemba hard several times

-get a flagrant 1 on Theis.


One of those things in a game I could understand. But as the night went on and they kept piling up, I had to say to myself, dang! this guy's a thug.

[Rosco917]

That was another nice win.

This team is defending well and it's paying off. Let's hope the injuries weren't serious.

Tatum was a +35, nice game big guy.

I have every confidence that a super efficient like 14 of 18 game is coming sometime soon here.

I'm glad he's going to be the Western Conference's problem, and double the trouble for LeBron and Anthony Davis.

The Celtics already have to deal with Embiid/Simmons, Giannis/Middleton, Siakam/Lowry, and next year when Kyrie/Durant duo come to fruition.

Dude needs to get in the weight room. So that when the outside shots are not falling he can muscle inside.
