Nuggets (39-21) at Celtics (42-18) Game #61 3/2/25

Westbrook would still be a solid defender if he didn't feel the need to gamble so much.  He can't resist going for the homerun.

Was he ever a solid defender? I don't remember that...

[Who]

Great 1st half. Bad finish to the half. Let the 20pt lead drop to 11pts.

Good job by Tatum to get Kornet a layup at the end to get the lead back to 13pts. Terrible D by Westbrook on that play gambling for a steal. They had just halved the lead in about 2 minutes to go into the 2nd half in a much improved position. Just stay in front of Tatum and let him take one of those step back Js at the buzzer. Awful D.

Our bench had 19pts, 10 rbs, 4 asts, and 3 Nemy TOs...

[Who]

Braun makes some good offensive plays but he passes up so many three point shots it is crazy. Imagine how lethal that offense would be with SG who is actually comfortable shooting 3s.

Braun only comfortable if no defender is within 6-8 feet of him.

If a defender is within 5 feet = too close.

Part of the reason we jumped out to a lead is the fact that we were straight up ignoring him to put extra attention on Jokic.  We don't appear to respect him on the perimeter and it had the Nuggets frazzled for a bit.

[Atzar]

Old man is feeling spry today!  A few nice transition plays from Horford in this one.

[SCeltic34]

Missed a lot of the first half.  Nice to see us get off to a good start after a rough end to the 2nd quarter.

I think you meant fouls not turnovers...

[SCeltic34]

Sloppy.  Bad entry pass, then bad defense in transition.

big al is playing a heck of a game. good to see.

[jpotter33]

Tatum's head is not in the dang game today. Just sit on the bench if you're not going to be aggressive or take care of the ball.

[SCeltic34]

Turnovers are killing us.

[Phantom255x]

Tatum shooting 2-8 and has 9 points. Needs to simply do better

[liam]

Another bad call! All calls going one way!

[celticinorlando]

Good to see Tatum has allowed the refs to get into his head.

This is just the same game as the Cavs game.
