Mavericks (9-7) at Celtics (13-4) Game #18 11/23/22

[Sophomore]

Only on social media do we face this: Cs play a dug-in Dallas team, and Luka having an incredible, unconscious shooting night, Cs up 15 with a minute and a half left, and people are saying the coach sucks.

We're really watching a special season from Jayson Tatum right now. I don't know if he'll win MVP, but I hope everyone can appreciate what we're seeing in the moment.

Absolutely.

I just got home ........ looks like Mazulla is still playing stubborn with his timeouts - to allow a 27-point lead to evaporate to single digits and the last two possessions were Tatum jacking up 28-foot shots. I am beginning to really dislike Mazzula.

A timeout doesn’t stop a run. The players do.

Yes, timeouts do stop runs.
You see it every night.

He called one late in the third, when the run started. They didn’t get better. Timeouts were obviously not the issue.

Good Lord, that is one exception you are pulling out of the entire season.
Mazzulla has consistently allowed big leads to disappear without at least trying something different.

That’s it, TPS everyone! What a nice and entertaining game!

Remember when people wanted to put shooting on the team by giving Davis Bertrand a big contract?

[ozgod]

The positive way of looking at things is that Dallas didn’t shoot well in the first half while the Cs shot 57% overall and 55% from 3…then Dallas started to make shots in the 3rd, our defense dropped off after Joes timeout and Dallas made a big run but we never let them get closer than 10 points. Every time they threatened to get to double figures we hit a clutch shot. It would have been nice to blow the, out by 30 and have a relaxing night but the team will learn from this and it will keep them humble. They put a lot of pressure on us and weathered the storm.

TPs for all!!!

[mobilija]

And a new streak begins!

[Goldstar88]

Really solid win. TP’s all around!

[RPGenerate]

Dang, this place is insufferable if we aren't blowing a team out by 30 the whole game.

I'd like to see the matchup breakdown between Luka and Tatum. Tatum scored on Luka numerous times, but I'm pretty sure Luka didn't score on Tatum once. In fact, he regularly was getting screens to get Tatum off of him as a defender.
