Jazz (16-19) at Celtics (26-7) Game #34 1/5/24

Man, Jrue's finishing at the basket this year has been awful. Three point percentage is up, which is good, but he does have to finish better.

In think jrue’s true value is going to be in the playoffs

[Silas]

Only complaint is they are shooting too many 3s.

Just now noticing that about this team ?
You say it as if it just a bad trend for one half.

Only too many when they aren't going in...

JRU3!

I hope that shot gives Jrue the confidence to have a great game. Seems like he’s been struggling lately.

He's never really raised his game in the playoffs, so hopefully you're right. A steady, ring-clad hand to help guide the team and all that.

Feels like we should be up more than 10 with the way this game has developed so far.  Gone cold in the past 3-4 mins.

15 good?

Love to see that from Tatum - made the better pass for the last second shot instead of forcing it himself.

Well-rounded game from him so far - 6 points, 4 rebs, 3 asts, and 1 blk already and 0 pull-up threes (though the top of the key three point shot was still iffy).

[Silas]

Great 1st quarter defense.

[Kernewek]

1 turnover for quarter is very encouraging, as well. Good to see us beating up on teams we should be beating up on.

It's late here - Have a good night and weekend everyone.

[Silas]

+20....not a bad start.

Hahahahaha Kornet.

See, that type of thinking is the problem. Sure, they make some tough 3's when they are hot.
It just encourages their habitual bad shot selection when their percentages level out.

How about 20?

[SCeltic34]

We haven't seen Kornet vs. Kessler yet.  Kornet came in when Olynyk did.  I'm fine with that matchup.
