Jazz (13-15) at Celtics (24-6) Game #31 12/15/17

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

MEDIOCRITY LAST 4 games

BRAVO BRAD BRAVO!

better be a [dang] good guy with the DPE.

we have no consistency or continuity anymore.

Why did Kyrie play 37 in this stinker?

[CelticSooner]

C's just have way too young players on this team to be a legit threat at winning anything this year. Needed Hayward to balance that out once the playoffs roll around. Feels much more like a experience year than ever before thanks to that crap Hayward injury.

Need to consolidate some of the pups IMO. Will Ainge do it though?

A very very bad week so far. Don't care for the schedule or injuries excuses. Got torched by the worst team in the league, got lucky Larkin won them the game on Wednesday, and for obliterated by a Gobert-less Jazz tonight.

The rebounding and defense issues are a problem again.

Just a bad week. They weren't going to maintain that winning pace but they have looked horrible lately.

Simply have to play better and harder, but Brad has to do a better job with this bench rotation. This is all started when he went to that main bench unit with only Tatum in there. It simply won't work, and Brad has to just admit this at this stage and better stagger the starters with the bench.

Yeah, honestly we went cold and lost the lead in the second with our bench unit.

We can't overwork our top guys, though. We need better players or more development. This isn't all on Brad.

I think that's where Hayward's injury (along with Morris' injury) hurts us the most. With a full lineup, that leaves our bench with Rozier, Smart, Tatum, Theis, and Baynes, along with letting us play more integrated bench/starter lineups always having one of Kyrie, Gordon, and Al on the floor.

We simply have to rely on too many young, inexperienced, and/or offensively inept players at the moment.

Brad just has to bite the bullet and play more integrated starter/bench lineups, even if it means less overall time with his preferred five on the court. We can't keep giving up big leads due to our lackluster bench.

Smart, rozier, and ojeleye were garbage tonight on both sides of the floor.. it's easier to overlook a bad offensive night if you make up for it on defense but they were terrible at staying in front of their guys. We need more from our bench and maybe a new face or 2 asap

yeah semi sux. he was hot garbage tonight. did not when to rotate to help, etc.

[Vox_Populi]

Couldn't hit a three tonight, so that's not really anyone's fault. Cold streaks happen.

What's a problem is that the defense is actually just bad now. I don't know what happened to the rebounding.

I think he will eventually roll with the starters more because it's now costing the C's games.

i will believe it when i see it.

[liam]

Loosing Theis tonight hurt. Danny has to sign another big.

[footey]

Not just the bench. Offense too dependent on one player.

[jpotter33]

Can anyone really argue against Lou Williams for the DPE right now? I mean, his scoring is exactly what we need right now, and honestly what could we get with the DPE that's better? He'd also come cheap, too.
