Celtics (15-15) at Mavericks (13-15) Game #31 2/23/21

Luka basically just said enjoy being All Star backups to the Jays.

[SparzWizard]

All 5 Atlantic Division teams are in the playoff spots.

The Boston Celtics are last place in the Atlantic Division. Wow.

[DrinkinCelticKool-Aid]

Too bad Brad only gives Tacko garbage time.

[angryguy77]

2 lucky shots, but don't brick a million 3's and the game doesn't end the way it did.

Another game with poor 3 ball shot selection.
Nothing has changed in 8 years under this coach.

Luka owned Tatum.  And another loss.  Appreciate the effort at the end.  If Kemba plays that well all game we might win.  Changes need to happens last week

[Silas]

Dagger!

[slamtheking]

12-39 on 3's isn't going to cut it.  nor is Kemba/Tatum going 18 for 42.

How does Nesmith get 24 minutes without taking a shot especially on a night where there's a lot of bricks being tossed up?

[tenn_smoothie]

Tatum just surrendered there 'cause he couldn't find an open shooter - gotta force it.
Tacko with a 2 point dunk isn't doing anything. What was going thru his head ?

[byennie]

62 shots for the Big 3, 24 for everyone else. Half of our shots from 3PT.

Gross. Nesmith played 22 minutes and didn't even get 1 open look. Talk about ball movement.

[blink]

I'm not one for moral victories, but watching them battle back was actually enjoyable.  Not much you can do about that last shot by Doncic.  The previous 3 he made though was the result of Theis switching on him at the end when Brown was doing a great job.  Just headscratching.

Yeah I am not all wrist-slitting after that game.
Brown stepped up big time in crunch time, Kemba gave a spark.  We were down 12 and looked DONE.  Would have been better to get the win, but at least we didn't give up.

[NKY fan]

Was Brad yelling for them to foul on that last three ? Or we were above the limit

Not exactly

but I hate Tatum body language tonight

Like he didn't want to be there

Or knew the team was going to lose

what is going on with him as of late

[radiohead]

two incredible shots by doncic. tough loss....

condolence tps for everyone. 

Back at you...tough loss but it would be easier to swallow if they fought hard the whole game.

Eh, it was a great shot, but it was poor defense by my binkie Nesmith at the end. The one on Theis was actually more contested, I think, but absolutely agree that the switch let that all happen. No reason at all to switch there. This defensive automatic switching philosophy by Brad has absolutely killed us all season long.

probably foul to give.
