Celtics (49-22) at Jazz (33-36) Game #72 3/18/23

[GetLucky]

Yeah, we should've had Al play tonight. They were debating whether to play him or not, but decided they wanted to "keep it consistent" with him not playing any B2Bs.

Clearly not working out for us with us getting assaulted on the boards. You have to have him play tonight, especially with two days off after this and no Timelord. A loss in a game tonight can legitimately make the difference between first seed and third seed.

we're not getting the first seed.  that's gone.  third seed -- it's not out of the question with Philly coming together while the C's unravel down the stretch of the season

The first seed is absolutely not out of the question - but it requires us to actually play the right way and consistently. The Bucks have a more difficult schedule than us the rest of the way and could certianly give it up, especially with a game remaining against us.

Again, though, that requires them to play the right way, but they appear intent on just jacking up threes all night.

technically, sure, Milwaukee hasn't locked up the first seed.  practically, they have.  they're playing well down the stretch.  The C's are not.  I'd love to be wrong on this but I just don't see this happening.

They just lost to the Pacers without Halliburton by 20. I think they're due for regression to the mean. The C's-Bucks game will be huge. If the Celtics win, they pick up a full game and have the tiebreaker. 1st seed is very much in the picture for the Celtics, imo. And it's probably worth chasing so they don't have to go through both Milwaukee and Philly. I honestly think the East has the 3 best teams in rhe NBA.

Why does it sound louder when the C’s make a bucket rather than the Jazz 

I'm cheering from outside your window while watching the game on your TV

Oh. Well hey there! 

not a stalker - just a dedicated fan needing a place to watch the game.  TP for letting me get a good view.

Musky grabbing some big rebs this half.

[Goldstar88]

Muscala is doing a nice job on the boards.

[GetLucky]

Brogdon with the sneaky vet move, sauntering over to the bench to seal up his bloody wound. Like an LB faking an injury in football.

TP back at ya. No worries. Let me know if you get too cold and I’ll throw a blanket your way out the window 

[slamtheking]

Tatum with a brain fart TO and an even worse brain fart foul

I'll take a couple of beers -- add some antifreeze to my system

Ugh, we needed that one Musky. 5 point swing there.

[angryguy77]

Tatum's % committing TO's in tight games has to be higher than his 3 pt%

[SCeltic34]

Muscala has been huge for us on the glass.

Utah getting aided by the refs now 

[jpotter33]

Finally the refs called it. They've been really letting the Jazz get physical in their rebounding hitting us.

[jpotter33]

Man, Kessler is solid.

[MattyIce]

Brogden!
