Celtics (39-17) at Jazz (36-21) Game #58 2/26/20

I get tired of seeing a double standard for Theis. Gobert has literally set two screen exactly like Theis did for his 3rd foul, and nothing was called.

The Jazz should be cheering Hayward with how bad he's playing.

So this is what I was worried about to start the game and why I wasn't too concerned when we were up 10. It would have been nice to have built a huge lead, but that was a lot to ask coming off of last night.

Hopefully we can re-figure this thing out.

Hayward, Smart and the bench are a mess so far.  C's need Hayward and Smart to get it together to pull this out.

Solid start against a supposed tough Utah team on the back half of a b2b. Let's hope we can keep it going and get an easy W...or just a W 

Apparently if we aren't destroying our opponents by twenty points in the firsr quarter, it isn't good enough.

if we start coasting in the first quarter rather than burying a poor-shooting, inferior team by posting at least a double-digit lead after one, it tends to come back to bite us.  other team finds their stroke, C's lose theirs because they're screwing around and then it becomes a fight.

fortunately, they've started driving to the bucket more now and they've started pulling away again.

It's almost like we were just missing shots, and now we aren't.

yup, missing quick 3's and making drives to the basket. 

now we're back to being a sieve on D.

Like that stepback 3 from Tatum? Oh sorry, we didn't go up thirty on that, so we're coasting.

apology accepted.

C's down 4 now.  started taking their foot off the gas with about 4 minutes left in the first and guess what, they're having trouble making shots and Utah has been making shots.  hmmm, who saw that coming?

Its almost like the Jazz are a good team. Saying we're coasting is just an excuse for losers.

This is a frontrunners dream game. Utah sitting on that butts for four days while the C’s on a B2B. I just want the C’s to punch them in the mouth

Finally Hayward. Maybe these free throws will get you going.

You should have use the Singulair there.

Hayward in full sissy mode here.

[jpotter33]

Man, this Tatum run is making my mind go to crazy places with his potential.

I mean, how he's playing right now, his ceiling seems significantly higher than someone like Pierce.

[Atzar]

I'm glad Gobert has stone hands, lol.  He'd be a major issue if he could catch.

[RockinRyA]

Mitchell got hot due to garbage d from wanamaker. Ypu do not gamble when the big you have on the floor is kanter.

[Somebody]

I'm glad Gobert has stone hands, lol.  He'd be a major issue if he could catch.

He'd be a fringe MVP candidate if he could catch lol.

[hpantazo]

Wow...this is a Dominique vs Bird like shootout tonight between Tatum and Mitchell

[SCeltic34]

Smart got away with a very obvious foul there.

[jpotter33]

Yikes, Smart got away with one there lol But he also got mugged by Gobert coming up the floor with no call, so it evens out.
