Celtics (26-10) at Nuggets (23-12) Game #37 1/1/23

[slamtheking]

White's having a good game!

is he?

4-7, 3asts, and high energy D in 19 minutes...

1 steal, 1 block but a -14 in his time on the court

Just hit a three. 5-9 while Smart is 1-9...

Smart's been abysmal.  other than Jaylen and Timelord, not much praise to dole out

Smart has to play fantastically the rest of the game to get up to abysmal!

can't really argue against that

Have we been shooting at a crooked goal all night?

Not able to watch it live as I'm on vacation but this will be a good test for them to see if they can knuckle down on defense and stop the Nuggets shooting so well (57% overall, 63% from 3, I don't know if that's because we defended the perimeter poorly or they just been hitting difficult shots) and with us shooting so poorly (45% overall, 27% from 3).

Our record this year of winning when we shoot below 30% from 3 is much worse than last year, so I'm interested to see if our team of clankers can pull this one out of the fire

yeah, that must be why the C's are laying bricks - the rim isn't level.

Kind of late for a rim adjustment I'd say.

Weird to say but….good loss. Good Denver team with maybe a 3 time straight mvp playing at their best, we are on the road.. I’ve been fine with the competitiveness

[PAOBoston]

Why are they doing this now? Lol. Who picked up on that?

I'm sorry, it's never a good loss...only good wins.

NBA is such a trash league.

It's bush league!

I mean I typically agree but I think with a young great team like we have you can potentially learn more from a loss then a win…only thing that matters is winning the title this year.

[blink]

that rim is SO FAR OFF from level...

all Timelord''s fault? lol

um, wondering if this guy is able to keep a straight face when someone asks him what he does for a living.

"yeah, I have a 'rim' job". 

[Silas]

Nice slam Rob!
