A few 3s from Payton wouldn't hurt.

Jazz appear to have decided to try to exploit Tatum defensively and are succeeding.

No, Mitchell going off.

[blink]

I know D. Mitchell is a good off player, but we can't seem to keep anyone in front of him.
He is deadly with the floaters, gotta make it harder on him to get to the lane.

Are you kidding me ?

I was sure the Celtics would have a letdown tonite. The first game back home after a difficult road trip (it was supposed to be difficult anyway) is more often than not a classic letdown for the home team. Very hard to come out in that game and play with energy. Also can be hard to maintain mental focus. Players tend to be tired both physically and mentally and are just glad to be back in their own homes. A period of recuperation is normal. Add a tough opponent and you have a perfect combination for a letdown performance.

But these Celtics ?? Seems to be no problem. What in the world is going on ?
This recent run of winning isn't even normal for the best teams.

[slamtheking]

Timelord with some emphasis on that one

[jpotter33]

Timelord!

[Silas]

Helluva block!

[Atzar]

Keep that one in bounds Rob, haha.  Punched the air out of the ball on that one.
