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

[Scottiej23]

Anyone else worried that a gimpy Kemba means bad efficiency in the playoffs?

I'm trying not to think about it.

Tough game but missing GH and JB...

Doesn't help that Conley goes off..

We're in that stretch where we're banged up...we'll get this right.

BOS is still a contender.

All the contenders are adding vets for the playoff run but we are not.

Brad's mistake this game is playing Wanamaker instead of Ojeleye.

Yeah, I fail to see the logic of Wanamaker playing down the stretch over here with both Smart and Kemba in. Dude is legitimately a -26 in a 6 point game...

Really good point. Why would Semi be on the bench over Wanamaker in crunch time? Guaranteed Semi hits at least one of those 3s and actually plays defense. Brad needs to explain some of these lineups...

I’d even take Edwards over him at this point. If only we had a Clarkson type of player off our bench.

hard to believe with all that bricklaying and crappy D, they only lost by 5

Hahahhahahahah great job with the bench Ainge! Have to put buns out there like Wanamaker.  Basically screwed the The 2nd seed and beyond by having a weak inexperienced bench. How many games will it cost this team? How will it show up in the playoffs? Great job Ainge! Keep living off the Garnett trade.

I agree that Ainge shouldve shored up our bench somehow. But to insinuate that he is a bad GM who just got lucky due to the KG trade in 07 is just plain stupid. The mere fact that we are fighting for 2nd seed is an indicator that he isnt a bad GM.

[liam]

YA! Smart got one,  9-23 with one assist...

[Phantom255x]

Hopefully we can bounce back on Sunday. Brown's out, but man if Hayward can go that'd be great. Kemba might still be on a minutes restriction it seems.

Brad blew it in crunch time with that decision. Absolutely zero reason for Wanamaker to be on the floor in crunch time.

Wanamaker has legitimately played a major role in us losing some big games this month. It’s a real flaw that we’re require to play him actual rotation minutes.

[trickybilly]

This loss is fine. Houston and Brooklyn were brutal, this is fine.

Most concerning thing about this game was how lost TimeLord looked...

Semi actually led the team in minutes believe it or not.  probably winded from not building up his stamina due to all those DNPs.

As enjoyable as this season has been, it has been just as frustrating with all of these continuous small injuries. This team clearly has a chance to be special when healthy, but for the life of us we just can't maintain it. And it's exacerbated by the 2nd seed being right there within our grasp.

Ainge is a great GM but he needs to get his hands out of his pockets.

[slamtheking]

YA! Smart got one,  9-23 with one assist...

not a good stat line for a Smart game -- 23 shots and only 1 assist.

not a shocker but every starter a +.  every bench player a -.
