A brush with destiny -- Celtics at Jazz 3/28/2018 7:30 pm MST

No Horford, no Irving, no Smart, no problem...Jazz simply outclassed by a much better team. I wish I didn't hate the Celtics so much. Ainge has done an amazing job building his team. KOC/DL let player after player walk for no return (except cap space which Lindsey used only once). Celtics hit on so many picks. Lindsey got Gobert and Mitchell but used 5 1st round picks to end up with Brickio as his starting PG.

Yep and we beat them on their home court without Gobert. We outclassed them and we were the better team then. Funny how that works. Any team can beat any other team any given time.

Simply matching Boston’s intensity would have won this game. No way a team void of any legit playmakers should have scored this much against Utah.

This is much easier said than done... Terry Rozier is near Gobert levels of intense... Jaylen Brown, Semi Ojeleye, Yabusele, Shane Larkin... Nader... Baynes.. The C's roster composition is several top-guns (and one in training - Tatum) surrounded by some certified dogs...

C's showed a lot of grit tonight in that 4th quarter. That was like a good heavyweight fight the way this game swayed.

Jazz are hitting a streak where teams are just hitting a lot of shots on Utah. Boston shot 58% from 3 and a lot of those were heavily contested.

Meanwhile the Jazz shot 28%.

Also, it felt like Gobert dropped at least 3 offensive rebounds late in the game. Just brutal luck that turned into the worst defensive possession on the final play for the easiest shot of the night.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Rubio/Crowder - 3/14 from 3

Jingles/Mitchell - 5/14 from 3

Jazz shot a miserable 9/32 from 3.

Favors was a +15, but only got 23 minutes. I think Snyder messed up by playing Gobert and Crowder so much - especially when the Celtics has 2 bigs on the floor for a lot of the game.

I was just starting to worry less that we'd miss the playoffs, but it is likely going to be close. Or maybe when we win again I'll be like "we're a shoe-in!" Heck, I don't know. This year has been a huge roller coaster.

And the zone totally killed Utah. Donovan and Crowder looked lost against the zone and Rubio's confidence was shot tonight with his jumper.

You're overreacting a little bit. Stevens and Snyder are both great coaches. If you've forgotten it was Quin who got the W in Boston. Brad got one on him tonight, nothing to stress about. Just like players have off nights coaches can too.

Well he needs to put himself in the ****ing doghouse!! Guarantee you he admits no fault.

The Celitcs have good athletes, and they played hard and fast all night. They played their asses off on defense and scrapped out a win.

If we lose on Friday, might as well pack it up
