Celtics (4-5) at Mavericks (5-3) Game #10 11/6/21

Udoka confirmed he did not instruct any foul in his presser.

Looks like Smart with yet another dumb decision.

[footey]

Can we fire Ime now? Or do we have to wait..

Dumb game management!!!

Yep, more mismanagement by him down the stretch. We had at least three awful offensive possessions down the stretch that we could've benefited from a timeout and ATO play, yet we ended the game with two timeouts to spare.

Granted, Ime's ATO plays have been junk anyways.

And why is Al not on the floor in crunch time? No Jaylen and he’s been playing outstanding so far this season. It’s a joke.

Yeah, I was wondering what was going on with that, too.

Maybe he was out of gas? 3 games is 4 days and Al is not a young fella anymore

Rob was a stud in 4th quarter, which is why Al did not go back in.  Needed to keep the lane clear. It almost worked.

No issues with this loss. Or this entire road trip. The team is starting to come together. Hopefully Jaylen is back sooner rather than later.

Good entertaining game.

Yeah, these games have been more and more fun to watch.

Cohesion seems up. People playing within their roles. Passing, great teamwork on defense with everyone hustling and helping and switching and etc.

Loved it today.

Let's go Celtics!

agreed. no brown. no langford. nesmith lays an egg. down 19 at one point. and they almost win it. i find this encouraging, even if a loss.

i think this team may be coming together. next game should be fun.

The way Smart went over to Ime looking apologetic convinced me it wasn't Udoka calling for the foul. Glad thats settled

Reminds me of the New Orleans screw up last season.  Thought the shot clock was expiring on the jump ball.

Smart has to find tatum. He thinks hes the finisher.

i thought udoka coached well tonight. his double teams on doncic in the fourth were well done.

Next game is against the Raptors, who are playing very well and kicked our butts in the home opener. It will be a good measurement for how far we have come since then.

Yeah, maybe this loss is actually a good lesson too.

Can't take plays off. Can't fall behind that big.

But the chemistry overall looked fantastic today.

[nickagneta]

Lots of great Marcus Smart tonight. Unfortunately, really bad Marcus Smart showed up for the final 30 seconds of the game.

good point. this next game will be interesting indeed. i just hope brown is able to play.

Sounds like the foul at the end of the game was not supposed to happen and was a miscommunication.

[nickagneta]

BTW....anyone else thinking what I am thinking....

That Timelord is turning into a stud center! Man he had an excellent game!!!

[footey]

We had several opportunities in the end to take the lead but just had some bad turnovers, including the Schroder/Tatum kick. That was a killer.  The Smart play was dumb, but not necessarily what cost us the game.

Did Smart commit two consecutive fouls?
