Mavericks (24-21) at Celtics (23-24) Game #48 3/31/21

[esel1000]

Here comes the "mirage run". Or, my personal favorite - the "moral victory run".

Called it. Good on them for deciding to actually play with some intensity down the stretch, but once again it's all meaningless given that we decided to play with our heads up our rearend for 2/3 of the game.

Literal mirror image of the Pels game

Bucks too. It’s a trend.

Celts need to play with urgency from the start of the game

Walker plays for real when the team is down 20?

Smart doesnt take 3 bricks when down 20?

Play seriously from the start next game

Another winnable game down the drain

Only 2 games in, I know. But dang Fournier looks about as useful as Grant Williams so far

Another binkie of mine (besides the obvious Luka) in Brunson torching us. They've been cruel to me recently

[esel1000]

It’s seriously a 2 pt game?

Have you been watching tonight? Fournier has been solid on both ends despite having no offence run for him

[hwangjini_1]

You and your binkies!

None are on the Celtics

That's why Smart is special.

If he'd just knock off the boneheaded offensive decisions and shot selection like early in the game. This second half he has been prime Smart and excellent on both sides of the ball facilitating and defending.

But, man oh man, how frustrating is this? It's every single game - when they actually play with energy defensively and don't just chuck threes offensively, they're a really good team.

It’s on Brad, too little too late per usual

We neee to rid ourselves of Kemba.  They are hunting him on defense every time down.  And for some reason, we make absolutely no effort to avoid the switch.  Absolutely maddening!!!!

Yup.

He's made half his shots - of course in 30 minutes he only got 6. Tatum on the other hand has taken 23 and Kemba 19
