Nuggets (28-14) at Celtics (32-9) Game #42 1/19/24

[liam]

Jays going 2/17 from 3 really hurt, one more and they win.

In a two point game that BS tech on Tatum and the BS 3 second call were huge.

[jpotter33]

Team deserved to lose. Played lazy just jacking up threes all night long. Terrible coaching and rotation decisions all night playing non-sensical double big lineups, not changing coverages on Murray, etc.

I just don't know how you trust this team. They just don't play smart ball when thing get tough, and the Jays just continue to fold down the stretch. If we're not hitting our threes, we're just not a good team. It's simply not a championship level offensive philosophy when you don't have elite shooters like GSW.

And another game given away. This team is going to break out hearts in the playoffs.

Yeah, we’re going to need to win all of our games comfortably in the playoffs if we’re going to win it all; because we definitely aren’t going to win close games. We are just godawful when it comes down to the wire. Did anybody here actually think the Cs were going to score on that possession? Disappointing

Big game means JT and JB wilt. 2 missed FT from Brown, Tatum a stupid 1 on 3.

The volume 3 offense is going to be the end of the Celtics.

I feel a 3 or 4 game losing streak coming.

[Atzar]

As good as Tatum is, I just don’t think I’m ever going to like his shot selection.

[Goldstar88]

Murray with 35pts, Jokic had 34pts. Tatum with 22pts, Brown had 13pts… Not good enough.

[Neurotic Guy]

Unfortunately Denver finished better that the Cs all 4 quarters. Not good. But rather now than in June.  Cs will get better.

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

drive to the hoop just half the game and we win

this hammering a square peg in a round hole is exhausting

control ur players joe or hit the road

make them drive

mind boggling

[CelticSooner]

I'm so freaking mad for the first time all season because it's the same crap that finally cost them a home game.

[celticinorlando]

I would have preferred White or Jrue taking it over JT.

[blink]

Murray being RED hot tonight hurt as well.  No one did well trying to deal with the big body Joker screens and Murray knows how to come off that screen, he is better at it than anyone on the C's.

we also put Al on an island against Joker too much, but what can you do?  if you double joker he is going to find the open man for a wide open shot.

[86MaxwellSmart]

Thought we would lose by 1 or in OT because of the BS Tatum tech-hanging on the rim....Thanks god the refs made it 2 points

[celticinorlando]

Team still sucks in close games. Sixers just hammered the Nuggets the other night.

Mazzulla ball is gonna make or break the Cs. Unfortunately the 3 ball is there to stay.

[jambr380]

Strange shot. Rushed it. Tatum had way more time to get a better shot for himself than that.

Dude had all the time awareness and composure of a middle schooler in that situation.
