No Hayward, maybe no Rozier tonight. Should be interesting.
Wow, Harrison Barnes looks a lot like Tatum in that first post ;DLol, thanks for catching that. TP.
I think it WILL help in the long term.No Hayward, maybe no Rozier tonight. Should be interesting.
It's sad to say but I'm more confident in the Celtics with a player or two out right now. If they win tonight then that means their record will be 4-1 when one of the original starting five misses a game. In a way I think it gives Brad more lineup flexibility without the concern of frustrating a core rotation player.
By no means am I saying this is good for the team long term. I just wouldn't be surprised if the team plays with more confidence and assertiveness.

Watch for me.
Definitely seeing it that way too, as in last night w/o Horford. It’s a huge benefit of having this kind of depth. Rozier and Hayward out? Just means Tatum/Kyrie/Jaylen know they need to step up.I think it WILL help in the long term.No Hayward, maybe no Rozier tonight. Should be interesting.

We won't need motivation once the playoffs start, but now? We badly need a jolt to get back on track.
These minor injuries will help the roster crunch and provide more PT to guys who need it, while giving precautionary rest to anyone who is even slightly banged-up. It also protects those players against worse injuries because guys won't need to favor a sore knee or ankle etc, which can throw their gait off and cause other problems.
Psychologically being shorthanded will be good for the team, reminding guys they need to fight every night to win. It also gives them more experience playing alongside different lineups and players.
In the long run a little adversity should supply with team with more confidence, growth, and long-term health.
This isn't going to be a cake walk. The Mavs are playing well, that 1st year PG is killing it.
This could be the start to turn it around.
Tatum vs Docic. I think Docic will have a better career. Why? Because I think he can make teammates better- has good vision and is a good passer.who's docic? ;)

Doncic lighting us up
that was a garbage call on Jaylen...****?
Omg what a dagger that was from Doncic after getting kyrie in the air

Aint nothing like a Marcus Smart homecoming game, whether that be Dallas or OKC!
Apologies guys but can someone tell me the score? My online stream froze for good and apparently Google is stuck on it being 13-12 Dallas :P
The Baynes 3's have to stop. Unless they're within the flow of the offense and they're shot from the corner, it's not a good shot at all.

Honestly being down by just 6 after the way Doncic and Dallas shot from behind the arc is pretty remarkable.
which is amazing considering how dallas shot that first quarter. celtics played the 3 point line better in the last part, thank god.Apologies guys but can someone tell me the score? My online stream froze for good and apparently Google is stuck on it being 13-12 Dallas :P

Believe it or not, he's actually shooting better from above the break than from the corner (33.3% from the corner, 35.5% overall meaning that above the break is above 35.5%).
Sample sizes are super small, but it kind if makes sense if his defender is further away from him on above-the-break 3s than corner 3s
Who’s ready for doncic dropping 40?
Mavs impressive. They play aggressive D and have been solid offensively. They look well on their way to a quick transition from the Dirk era.
Guess who’s on pace to drop 40?

Last season I think Baynes was really only shooting corner 3's, and he shot them at a good %. This year he's taking way more shots from the top and the wing areas of the 3 line. I'd expect his corner% to be higher eventually.
God, Rozier really is terrible defensively. Barea just eating him up.
Semi is a revelation this season. He's not as bad as last year.
why KI on Doncic?
Why is Irving on Doncic???? It makes no sense.
I miss the Rozier of the home playoff games last year (minus ECF Game 7)

Dallas has actually missed 11 of their last 14 3-point attempts.
Unfortunately we haven't really trimmed the deficit from what it was at the end of the 1st.
Kyrie and Brad have words during a timeout??
Kyrie and Brad have words during a timeout??when?
Nice MM!!
Impressive that the C's are down 3. VERY impressive. If this is the Mavs for real -- watch out. But I can' believe they can play at this level for 48. If C's can sustain, they have a great chance tonight. Good that they had a relatively light night last night.
. When was this? I didn’t see anythingKyrie and Brad have words during a timeout??
I read that Kyrie and Jerome Allen were having a heated discussion.
Dallas doing everything they can to take advantage of the Celtics all switch defense. KI guarding Doncic was mostly because they ran picks to get the matchup they want. Doncic has not been hurting the C's when Brown and Morris has been on him but Doncic is killing the Celtics once those two players switch off him.
Harrison Barnes is not going to go for 5 more 3 pointers. Dallas is not going to make another 10 3 pointers. If Boston plays like they did that half, they win the game.

They must have gotten the switches early in the possession, I didn't see the picks -- seemed a couple of times KI was on LD throughout the possession, which obviously didn't make sense.
Haven't been hard picks they just run a player towards Doncic, Doncic goes the other way and the Celtics switch. I also think coming down court, Kyrie picked up Doncic once and the C's got burned by it.Dallas doing everything they can to take advantage of the Celtics all switch defense.

Didn't Jordan have a technical for arguing with the refs earlier in the game? Shouldn't that be a disqualification?
Apparently DeAndre Jordan is not getting thrown out for the second tech, as it was deemed "non-unsportsmanlike." Haven't heard that one before. Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown was given one for giving a shoulder to Luka Doncic as the rookie was running upcourt.

I usually pay a ton of attention to obscure rules, but I've never seen this before
God, Baynes has such an ugly shot.
I'm about done with the 'Baynes is a three point shooter' experiment. I don't mind the occasional corner three because it's statistically a better shot and he's shown (on limited data) that he can hit those. But these shots from around the rest of the arc are just bricks.
This lineup makes me nervous. Smart, Rozier, Baynes, Ojeleye. Not enough offense, even with Tatum on the floor.Yup

For the love of all that is holy please bench Rozier.
Smart has really hurt us since he came in.
Danny, can we please trade Rozier already? I mean, what has he actually contributed to the team this year? Dude is clearly playing for his next contract to the detriment of the team.
Nice D once again Terry, how to move those feet

Way to waste a timeout Brad.
More incompetent officiating. The rookie Doncic apparently gets more love from the refs than a five time All-Star in Horford. ::)Give it two years, Doncic will be untouchable with getting every call. He will reach LeBron, Gianni's levels.

Rozier 1 of 6 and lousy defense all night. Why is he still out there?
Dallas playing like it's the 7th game of the championship.
Every fricken game it seems like an opposing guard goes off against us. Every game.Scheme's not working I'd say.
Either the defensive scheme needs revamped, or Marcus Smart and Terry Rozier are not good enough on-ball defenders.
man we are really getting every team's best shot this year.
we haven't played overly bad this game, but the Mavs are just making things happen.
gotta rise above it and play better though

Hmm, glad Barea was able to get a rhythm on Rozier all night to get him going. He should send thank you letters to both Rozier and Brad for that. >:( Freaking idiots.
Come on Smart...you fouled him.
Tatum is so easy to get up in the air
We really shouldn’t be this bad....
8 points in 8+ minutes in the 4th quarter. Really bad time for an offensive drought. Goes back to that stupid lineup Brad put in in the 3rd quarter.
I can't say that the Celtics weren't playing hard.
That's the disappointing part.

I’m losing patience. This team is not improving.
oh that looked bad - just when Jaylen was getting it together this season

Not sure how you can watch the last 2 games and conclude no improvement. They clearly played better last night and tonight. Obviously, not well enough tonight.
For those saying that the "Mavs just can't miss"...the teams are basically shooting with identical % for 2 and 3
Not much you could do tonight, Mavs were on fire all night long and were playing with peak intensity.
I'm not too upset with how we played, maybe there were some bad lineups in for too long at times.
JB looked like his old self with GH out.
For those saying that the "Mavs just can't miss"...the teams are basically shooting with identical % for 2 and 3
but the mavs have 16 made 3s and we have 9.
Tatum is 9-13, yet I only remember him shooting a couple of times lately. He simply has to be more involved in the offense, especially when he's so on like he is tonight. Kyrie is 9-24 right now, but it's hard to blame him because he's also the only one who is aggressive in getting his shot.
There's definitely chemistry issues with this team and a lack of understanding of roles. And that is on the coaching staff to fix. That we have not improved in this chemistry/clarifying of roles regard in 20 games is such a failure by the coaching staff.
I've never really been fond of Barea. He's soft and such a flopper.um, wrong time to say that's why he never made it in the p0rn business? ;)

I think Tatum could have gtten more shots. The proble is right now you cant run an offense through him because he's not a good dsitrubutor. This limits him somewhat to off ball stuff and puts a natural cap on hw much he can score. Unless you start running him off screens like JJ reddick, and i think his efficiency plummets when you start doing that, then he has to become a better passer.

But isn't this basically what's been said after every loss this season? It's always that the other team "just got hot," or some guy on the opposition "just couldn't miss." Players and teams are routinely going off on Boston, which tells me Boston stinks.

Kyrie 9 of 24, Al 3 of 11, Rozier 1 of 6...guards again doing a poor job of keeping Mavs guards from getting into paint.
Al does need to play better for what he's making. Kyrie needs to play better based on the amount of time he's dominating the ball. They're just a mess.
I'm not one for hot takes, but it's time to trade Rozier.
I watched his body language. He hates his role on this team. He put little effort in this game. That's not going to change. It's only going to get worse.
^this-I already have like 5 games off the top of my head where he killed us with rotations. If this goes on till the All-Star break (we're still hovering around .500), Brad needs to go, it's not only him who knows how to coach, I'm pretty sure we could pull off a Nick Nurse or a Mike Budenholzer.honestly I'm sick of this ****-the hell was Brad Stevens doing when he benched the starters at the start of the fourth?

That's been a continuous theme since the beginning of the season. Not only can he not get these guys' heads on straight and clarify roles, but his rotations have just been a mess, and he consistently makes bad decisions in games that hurt us.

Yeah if they got 10 more layups that would be 20 more points...that has nothing to do with them "being on fire" or playing "can't miss" basketball like some have posted here.
This game had nothing to do with the Mavs shooting better.
Celtic pride is in tatters...we let the Mavs insult us by sending DeAndre Jordan to shoot the tech FT >:(
Then that's on the offensive scheme (for not getting us wide open looks) or the players (Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. enough to brick open 3s-Edited.

This game had nothing to do with the Mavs shooting better.
I am not the one saying the mavs were on fire... But they did shoot the 3 better than us. 39% to 35.7%. Thats how facts work.
we definitely deserve this humbling experience, hope we implement changes and improve.Celtic pride is in tatters...we let the Mavs insult us by sending DeAndre Jordan to shoot the tech FT >:(
Punk move by Dallas, but Boston deserved it. The Celts being 10-10 in this "championship or bust" season is really like being 4-16 most seasons—wayyyyyyy below expectations.
Of course, Boston has built-in excuses tonight that I'm sure some fans will point to—second night of a back-to-back, on the road, no Hayward, Dallas has been hot. Whatever. Every night it's a different set of excuses for the same p----poor result.
I'm not one for hot takes, but it's time to trade Rozier.
I watched his body language. He hates his role on this team. He put little effort in this game. That's not going to change. It's only going to get worse.
Then that's on the offensive scheme (for not getting us wide open looks) or the players (**** enough to brick open 3s-**** YOU HORFORD). This Celtics team is in a mess right now and we need changes fast.For those saying that the "Mavs just can't miss"...the teams are basically shooting with identical % for 2 and 3
but the mavs have 16 made 3s and we have 9.
Yeah they shot more 3s too...you know how percentages work right?

I've already set my bar for this team lower, I don't believe we'll be making out of the east because by the time we figure this out the chance for homecourt advantage will probably be long gone. I'm still watching every game though.I doubt we'd even make the playoffs if we continue playing like this-Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. basketball and Edited.

But I don't think we're the 2010 Miami Heat, we're nowhere near going on a big winning streak. We may drop a few games below .500 before things get better.
Well, at least Golden State beat Sacramento tonight... by one point.
I've been angry at the Celtics ever since we lost to Denver-the play is god awful.Then that's on the offensive scheme (for not getting us wide open looks) or the players (**** enough to brick open 3s-**** YOU HORFORD).

It’s the NBA gotta work for your wins, they’re not going to come just because you’re talented. Gotta want it more than the other team

Said lack of effort was killing them. Says it's the first time in his career where he's had no answers as to the lack of effort. When he was asked if he was upset by the Mavs' trash talking and showboating such as Doncic shimmying after a 3 he said that if they didn't feel like that was motivation to step up and play harder that was a real problem.
As for Jaylen Brown, when asked to describe the Celtics he said "disconnected, not on the same page, no presence"

That's all well and good, but all I hear is "we are doing this, we aren't doing that."
Great to hear all the candid remarks, but no one is identifying any solutions or taking any accountability
