Jazz (16-19) at Celtics (26-7) Game #34 1/5/24

2 superb blocks to start us off.

[SCeltic34]

Couple of impressive blocks.  JB atones for the turnover, but really gotta cut back on those careless turnovers.

[SCeltic34]

DWhite.  All star

[Phantom255x]

What a start!

[jpotter33]

Heck of a start.

So nice to see us dominate at home this year after the last few years of repeated disappointments at home, especially in the playoffs.

[SCeltic34]

Some strong drives by the C's.  Good to see Jrue and Brown taking the ball to the hole when they see Fontecchio or Markannen on them.  It's the correct play.

Keep this going!

[Silas]

Solid defense, Jazz hasn't made a shot yet....

edit....spoke too soon.

[SCeltic34]

It's going to be interesting to see which big Joe brings off the bench when Kessler comes in and Porzingis goes out.  Kessler is a load.

My guess is it's going to be Kornet, who I'm worried is going to be eaten alive by Kessler on the defensive glass.  Kessler is an excellent offensive rebounder.  My armchair coaching opinion would be to play Queta instead.  He still may not fare well, but will be able to compete on the glass better than Kornet.

[Kernewek]

Fun to see the lid on the basket phenomenon plague another team

agree Kornet is probably first big off the bench with no Horford.

[jpotter33]

Great energy by Brissett there to keep the rebound alive.

[jpotter33]

Beautiful ball movement.

[SCeltic34]

Our offensive execution is awesome.  Crisp passing against the zone.

[Phantom255x]

Looking at Fontecchio as a trade target but man he's been underwhelming so far...

[SCeltic34]

Brissett is the man.  Exactly the kind of player we needed after we traded Smart.
