Pre Game



Sometime this league isn't that complicated. The best 3 point shooter (this year) in this starting five is Dennis Schroder at 33%.



Wish Celtics had mike Connolly



Without looking, feels like we generally don’t do well against the jazz



Jazz are ****ed. They don’t even have Udoka Azubuike tonight



It's like Jazz saw the ugly *** gray court white lights from Brooklyn Nets last year and said," I see your eyesore of a court, and raise with a bigger one."





1st Half



imagine we had three point shooting... but honestly jazz starting the game with way too deep 3 from donovan.. like woot



This is stupid. They are hitting every shot, good and bad. We are playing great defense but awful on offense as usual



Good grief, Tatum. Just give Mitchell a wide open three why don't ya



Its sort of amazing how different the C's have to play defense against Jazz guards who can shoot vs how the Jazz have to play against Smart and Schroder. The Jazz just sag way off.



You just have to hope the shots start to even out. They are making some ridiculous shots



Omg Tatum are you drunk? Why are you throwing up these bad threes right now?



Alright well I’m not sure that Celtics have done much wrong other than allow Utah to make hilarious shots



Wow these guys really know how to turn the ball over



Theyve hit four TOUGH threes jesus



Imagine if Utah wasn't turning the ball over. We'd be losing by 20+



If you look real close, there’s a chalk outline of Rudy Gobert under the basket.

Marcus getting drug tested at halftime.



down 13 after one. surprised we're this close



Turns out that shooting 70% from three in a quarter is a good way to build a sizable lead.



On the one hand the Jazz probably won't shoot 70% from three all game. On the other hand if they clean up the dumb turnovers they are making it will make up for any loss in shooting.



So Jazz won’t miss again for the night.



geez, Romeo can't even run down court untouched without getting injured every few games.



(*&$(*#&$(*&#$ WE FINALLY have someone contributing off the bench - rolls his ankle on a fast break. Bloody beetroots.



We’ve played ****ing amazing today. If Utah weren’t shooting close to 60% from 3, this would be a blowout



Jazz still over 50% from three. That has to come down.



They’re a high turnover team. Plus, to C’s credit, the Celtics are playing high pressure defense



Amazing. Just a 3 point game.



We're 13 for 18 from 2 point range. Keep with what's working. No lazy iso 3's.



Big Al! Found his stroke again, which should be huge for us.



Gobert looks prettier….courtesy Smart’s facial.



What a save by Smart, vintage Marcus is back!



only 2 turnovers at half, taking care of the ball.



The Jazz starters are all basically 15-16 minutes played so far. The Celtics are 17-18 except for Rob who has only played 9 likely because Al was rolling.

The Jazz starters are so far winning the Starter vs Starter matchup with a +39, vs the Celtics starters who are -28. But the C's won the bench minutes.



I think this has been my favourite game to watch this season.

Again I'm biased with my weak spot for the Jazz but we've just seen cool stuff rom everyone, on both teams.

This is what NBA basketball should be like all the time.







2nd Half



utah will never shoot this well again the rest of the year



Avatar for ChosenOneboston85

How do you win a gm when a guy can't miss?!lol



They can't keep shooting like this tho



Utah is hitting a ridiculous amount of threes. They should cool of eventually??



I love how we're attacking. If only we played this aggressively every game.



We are so soft defensively. Every single possession almost they score at will.



utah is garbage. so lucky



Win or lose, they are neck-and-neck with the best offensive team in the NBA on the road on a night where they are absolutely shooting lights out without our 2nd best player. This should give some of the doubters a look into how good this team can be when we are dialed in on both ends.



Just insane that we are in this game with Utah shooting like they have been shooting.



This is a stinkin good quarter.



Feels like an all star game lol



Man, this is some high, high, high level basketball on both sides of the ball for both teams.



Shooting % for this quarter must be crazy.



This just in.... Schroder cannot stay with Mitchell.



Tatum feeling it now. Ball not even touching the rim.



If you saw the Cs scoring about 100 at the end of 3, raise your hand…



the 3's Utah is hitting are ridiculous



That Conley 3 was nuts. Solid contest.



Imagine if the Jazz weren’t on fire



These are just ridiculous threes by Utah.



I mean, what? Clarkson makes that?! If they keep making those you just tip your cap. Sooner or later they have to cool off… don’t they?



Tatum played all 12 minutes that quarter, scored 16 points, and the deficit did not change.



19 threes on 55% shooting with a full quarter to go. Wow. We’re lucky to be down just three.



Our offense hasn't looked this varied ever



Game stats are very close except the Jazz are shooting like crazy (19 vs 10 threes) and the c's are dominating the turnover battle (14-4).



Clarkson makes ridiculous threes.



Well this is a nice development - three Utah fouls in the first 90 seconds of the quarter.



what kills me is that I see them play so well in this game (except the first 6 minutes) and I keep asking why we don't see this every game right from the start.



Man it is absurd how the jazz are shooting this game.



The Jazz have so much fire power...



Most 3s allowed in Celtics history. Man. How can you win with that?



Gotta give the Jazz credit. They stopped turning the ball over and they're making the right reads and passes.



This game is FIRE



I know it benefits the c's, but can the refs let some of this incidental contact go please? I dont wnat to watch a team take free throws for 6 minutes.



Best game of the year so far!!!



Yeah, it's crazy how the officiating standard just completely changed in the third.



Celtics are like a wounded animal
Very dangerous now



They're FINALLY calling all the illegal contact on Gobert on those screens. Only fair after they've called that all night on Al and Grant, too.



The Jazz are getting a rough whistle.



And 1! Man, if you're counting dumb Utah fouls as turnovers then they're close to 40.



OMG! What a game!!!



This game is insanity.
This crowd is insanity.
I'm loving this.
Let's close it out boys. We can do this.
If we win this, it'll be HUGE.



To be honest, I think Schroeder hurts us as much as he helps us. Just AWUL defense on Mitchell that last possession overplaying, and combined with his bad turnovers these things hurt us just as much as his scoring.



I wonder if we would have been better with keeping Timelord on the floor instead of Al, as good as Al has been this game.



Tatum holding the ball ten seconds before a fall away 3 is my least favorite play in our offense.



Those easy lobs on Gobert were huge. Maybe it’s time to bring TL back.



Jazz not cooling off apparently.



Apparently jacking up 3's is a strategy that works for everyone except us.



I've not had this feeling in my stomach for a Celtics game in forever.



Mike Conley still got it...



The Jazz are probably going to shoot like 28% from 3 next game



Conley 100% from 3! 7-7!!!



It was a huge 3 by Schroder but Jazz just ridiculous.



Conley unbelievable



Got to be kidding. Not sure i've ever seen this.

No one has. Just nuts!!!



These 3’s aren’t easy. We’d be pretty mad if our guys were taking these types of shots (unless they were going in)



Well I mean at some point there's just nothing you can do.



Gonna say it one last time.

I love this Jazz team. So much fun to watch.

I also, tonight, really loved our Celtics. Holy carp. The best I've seen 'm play all season. What bad luck.



Hell of a game. Just have to tip your hat to the Jazz. Their shooting was unreal.



Great game from the C’s. It didn’t feel like a loss. The Jazz were unbeatable tonight



Jazz are a solid team but this was crazypants. They don’t shoot like this most nights.



Dribble dribble Dribble dribble Dribble dribble chuck! Dribble dribble Dribble dribble Dribble dribble chuck! Dribble dribble Dribble dribble Dribble dribble chuck! Dribble dribble Dribble dribble Dribble dribble chuck! Dribble dribble Dribble dribble Dribble dribble chuck! Dribble dribble Dribble dribble Dribble dribble chuck!



C's played tremendous defense tonight and gave up 137 points, amazing shooting from the Jazz.



Took 39 3s tonight, wow.. need an inside game but just don’t have a Center..



Yeah that first rainbow 50 foot three guy falling away , looked like a Hail Mary went though, I was lik3 please don’t let crap happen. And then there were a dozen more it seemed . Frankly when a team is shooting like that , we were playing great to stay with them.



Yeah, the Celtics won the turnover battle 20-6, shot over 50% from the floor, a respectable 36% from 3, and we’re perfect from the line. You win that game 9 times out of 10. But the Jazz couldn’t miss from 3, and we saw that on the first possession when Mitchell made a 30-footer at the shot clock buzzer when he was trapped on the sideline.



That was nasty by Mitchell. Yuck.



There’s a reason why UTA leads on offense



My soul left my body when Schroeder bricked an open layup



that’s a tough ****ing basket by Spida holy ****



The pelicans should be the jazz. utah can be the crackers or smthn



Inbred looking mfer killing us



It’s objectively hilarious that Philly and tonight we’re back to back games for the Celtics. Literally couldn’t be more polar opposites
 
Alright well I’m not sure that Celtics have done much wrong other than allow Utah to make hilarious shots.

Glad we could entertain you while smoking your ***!!!

Wow! “Inbred crackers” this fan base is nasty:mad:
