Celtics (26-12) at Mavericks (22-16) Game #39 12/5/23

[SCeltic34]

The ball movement is incredible.  This is what we were seeing early in the season.  We're generating GREAT looks.

[jpotter33]

Man, the quality of shots we're getting is ridiculous. We're getting open threes at will on virtually every penetration.

[Neurotic Guy]

Great stretch and Al missed a wide open 3 (his 2nd wide open corner miss in a row).

[CelticSooner]

Mavs are shooting 3-23 from 3. They live by the 3 more than the C’s do.

[Goldstar88]

We really are going to live and die by the 3 this season.

Either Uncle Joe is too dim-witted and stubborn to demand changes in the way the team is playing or,
like Brad Stevens, he is afraid of his players.

Joe doesn’t have job security like Udoka did.

Udoka had job security? When

When he signed that multi year deal that Wyc still doesn’t want to pay.

Yeah, a lot of good it did him.

beautiful offensive trip

garbage tech

[liam]

REFS SUX!

[radiohead]

What was that??

[jpotter33]

This looks like us from the beginning of the season. Not just the shooting, but particularly the ball movement. We've stopped the over-iso crap and started trusting each other again.

[Goldstar88]

Put Kemba in!

[jpotter33]

Wow, Luka looks terrible. Clearly forcing it, and killing his team because that's all they have.

[slamtheking]

passing seems crisper today.  passes are mostly on the money instead of high/low/off-to-the-side or turnovers leading to fast breaks

[SCeltic34]

That should be a flagrant.  But the NBA hasn't been consistent about the call, to noone's surprise.

[slamtheking]

looks like the defender's foot went under Smart which is a foul
