Jazz (39-22) at Celtics (42-19) Game #62 3/6/20

Why would you take Kemba out and not put Tatum back in?

Yeah, why is it three minutes left and no Tatum out there? More questionable rotation decisions.

The intentional transition foul remains one of my least favorite things in the game right now.

My only guess is that Tatum is playing the entire second half... which based on how terrible our bench is he may have to.

Just turned game off till 2nd half.

That missed call by refs on Globert on Javontes attempted jam was a key swing play.

He fouled him on the arm with his right hand AND in his **** back with his left forearm. WTHeck??!?!

[GreenFaith1819]

6 more minutes before I shut it off, unless they turn it around.

My patience is running out....

Time’s up.  This team is going nowhere this year.  The bench is awful and the starters are always hurt. Sorry but I feel betrayed. I hope then can pull this one out but I doubt it.

Don't give up.

Jazz shooting 62% from 3.  Hopefully the law of averages kicks in and they go ice cold in the 2nd.  Feels like we should be down more than 13 given how poorly we played for stretches of that half.

This team is going nowhere if they can’t stay healthy... huge drop off between 1-6 and everyone else. Semi is improving, other players on the bench can make plays, but you can’t rely on them for stretches. The NBA is wide open I for the life of me still can’t figure out how DA decided to just let the deadline and buyout market pass him by this year...

I know people have been saying this to these sorts of statements around here for a while, but I'll just repeat it:

Who should he have gotten, and what should he have given up to get them?

I posted how I was worried that Tatum played the entire first, but hadn't played in the second and I was worried he might have gotten hurt, but he came in as I posted it.

We really need to upgrade from Wanamaker. I know we have injuries, but we need to have better options than just spamming Wanamaker minutes. And Green as well. They gamble too much on defense. And Wanamaker especially has too many possessions where no one else touches the ball. You are not a star, don't do that.

[slamtheking]

well that half sucked.  started out well and then offense and defense just went in the toilet.  Utah too hot to realistically keep that up but C's need to put a lot more effort into the D

[CelticSooner]

What bothers me the most is how the bench looks no better than the first game of the season. Guys like Kanter are basically bodies on the floor right now.

Every other top team in the NBA picked up players for the playoffs except for the Celtics. It's maddening to me. We need some NBA vets coming off our bench.

Amen.
