Celtics (15-2) at Mavericks (3-14) Game #18 11/20/17

[kozlodoev]

When Brad's plan gets shut down, his ability to adjust on the fly is close to nonexistent.

Are you talking about Brad Stevens?

No, Brad Pitt.

you are aware this team has five comebacks of fifteen+ in this win streak alone? right?

Short memory?

Nah, I'm sure we're just spotting them 11 points right now because otherwise the game would be too boring.

We lost this game when Kyrie was having his best offensive game in a Celtic uniform and Brad decided it was a great idea to sit him the entire second half and put him in with 4 minutes left. So stupid.

Smart and Al usually do all the little things to impact winning.

Today they, specifically marcus are doing all the big things to impact losing.

Definitely one of Al’s worst games

That's it not our night.  15 point lead pooped away

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

and we started out so good. no excuse. this is not GS or spurs or houston

cannot believe brad played games with this team and it backfired on him.

our bench is not as solid as we had hoped that is for sure. 

[MVPPierceNoJoke]

anybody know the spread?

Celtics are giving them 7

Alright, probably time to turn this one off - Mavs looking the Harlem Globetrotters out there, while the Cs are going iso on every play and missing every one.

Thank you Jaylen, but probably too little too late.

Would prefer one of Allen or Bird instead of Smart tonight

[apc]

It may take a few seasons, but Smart will come out of his slump!

Not really getting him involved much.

Plenty of time left.

Jaylen Brownnnnnn for threeeee  (and another 20 point game).  #beastmode #notoveryet

[fairweatherfan]

Still hoping for a comeback but we've been due for a loss for awhile now. Too many big deficits and bad stretches of play. Sooner or later it was gonna catch up.

He sat him for way too long...

Uh, no, it absolutely WAS our night. Brad decided to end it with funky lineups and didn't adjust, along with not taking care of the ball and Brad letting Smart go "Antoine Walker" off the bench.
