Celtics (26-10) at Nuggets (20-14) Game #37 1/7/25

Great first quarter. How the refs missed that nut shot I don't know! I just noticed they are playing in Ball area.

[Silas]

Bench doing a good job tonight...all +11

[Neurotic Guy]

Wonder when the last time was that JB didn?t take a shot in 10 minutes pt. 

[blink]

Need to get JB involved in the offense.   KP had it going in the 1st, but 1 shot for JB in the whole 1st half so far isn't optimal.

Offense looks terrible without Tatum.

[jpotter33]

Again falling apart without Tatum. The offense is just so much less dynamic and so little playmaking when he's not out there. And I saw a recent stat that suggests that the higher his usage is the better we play, which is harder to do on this team with so many options but needs to be something we look to more. In games like OKC, we've got to start relying more on our best player.

[blink]

JB looks slow out there.   Is he sick?

[SCeltic34]

Back to back excellent passes by Brown.

[jpotter33]

Our lazy passing is killing me. Too many turnovers.

Nice to Q get going, though.

KAREEM AL QUETA

[Silas]

Murray is abusing Q.

[SCeltic34]

We've looked terrible since Queta subbed in.  He's scored 4 baskets but we're just not functioning well.

[liam]

We look good then we look like poop....

[jpotter33]

Embarrassing effort. They're clearly playing harder than us right now.

[SCeltic34]

This team just puts together some of the worst stretches of basketball for an incredibly talented team.  It's such a waste.
