3/13 Celtics @ Rockets

[Ed Hillel]

When he was saving it from going out of bounds?

Yes, he dribbled and picked it up. They just showed the replay.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Please do not tie this and limp through another overtime.

 

[Obscure Name]

I mean he was falling into the stands, he did the best he could.

Enough time to call a timeout.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Jaylen had a chance to tie it with FTs and he choked, again. Just like he did vs Knicks.

He's also the only reason the Celts are in this game at all

 

[Ed Hillel]

Making 2 of 3 is not choking.

 

[The Social Chair]

Jaylen had a chance to tie it with FTs and he choked, again. Just like he did vs Knicks.

Conveniently leaving out the free throws against the Lakers?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Celtics were late on rotation D and then out of position for the rebound.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Crafty ATO

 

[timelysarcasm]

He's also the only reason the Celts are in this game at all

That poster has a weird obsession with shitting on Jaylen. He's a one trick pony and really outs himself as a casual when he does it during games like this.

 

[Cellar-Door]

He's also the only reason the Celts are in this game at all

he's 7/8 on FTs, timing sucked but yeah his offense has been great. His D has been dogshit, but hey so has Smart's and he's not bringing any positive value on offense.
This team doesn't defend on the perimeter and outside Tatum everyone playing is at or below average rebounding for their positon.
We'll need to outscore teams at this point.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

JB and Malcom 7-15 from 3, rest of the team 5-27.

I have been blissfully Jaylen-shitpost-free for a while and doubt I have missed anything worthwhile.

 

[Auger34]

Jaylen Brown is the only reason this is close. Smart and Tatum have vomited all over themselves all game. One missed free throw doesn’t make him the goat here

[Ed Hillel]

lol booing him

 

[bosockboy]

Steal this one for Damon.

 

[Auger34]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but go for the 2. Rockets can’t hang in OT

 

[benhogan]

just get it to OT

 

[128]

Enough time to call a timeout.

Didn't they change the rule a few years ago so that players couldn't call time out when they were heading out of bounds?

 

[bankshot1]

Average Al for a corner 3

 

[Obscure Name]

GJGE.

 

[Cellar-Door]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but go for the 2. Rockets can’t hang in OT

Also Smart fouled out which is a huge win for BOS

 

[128]

Fitting end to a forgettable game for Tatum.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Lame

 

[Ed Hillel]

Good fucking lord

 

[bigq]

Well shit

 

[bankshot1]

MVP

Fuck

 

[Helmet Head]

Have a game Tatum

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

I wasn’t annoyed at any of their losses lately but I’m annoyed at this one. These guys are limping at the wrong time of the year.

 

[shoosh77]

Woof. Need some mamba juice injections before the playoffs.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Tatum rarely misses that, but he was so bad tonight, it's hard to be surprised. No idea what's going on.

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was essentially uncontested the last 2 steps

 

[worm0082]

Nice layup, Will

 

[Helmet Head]

Is that the only play Joe has in his playbook?

 

[Auger34]

Awful loss. Awful game by Tatum. Smart continues to play offense like he’s drunk. Starting to worry about this group

 

[bosockboy]

Tatum may have blown first team all NBA. Such a rough, brutally inconsistent stretch.

 

[ifmanis5]

Not fouled and still missed it.

 

[benhogan]

another good ATO call by Coach Joe

 

[Ed Hillel]

Is that the only play Joe has in his playbook?

Hard to complain about the play. That the easiest look you'll see in that situation.

 

[Helmet Head]

That was essentially uncontested the last 2 steps

Clutch and late. Best ever.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Rockets had 10 more boards, 9 more assists, 3 fewer turnovers. That's how you lose.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Something about fucking around for the first 38-40 minutes.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Brogdon and White need to be playing more than 27/28 minutes a game, and Smart needs to be playing less than that at this point.

If Marcus Smart playing like this leads to an early exit in the playoffs, and Joe doesn't make a switch, I'm going to lose my fucking mind.

 

[ObstructedView]

Tatum rarely misses that, but he was so bad tonight, it's hard to be surprised. No idea what's going on.

I love Tatum, but he misses that 2-3 times per game.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

The team reeks of being front-runners, Tatum leading the pack.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Rockets had 10 more boards, 9 more assists, 3 fewer turnovers. That's how you lose.

The rebounding has fallen off a cliff lately and it’s not all Rob. I don’t get it.

 

[Auger34]

Tatum may have blown first team all NBA. Such a rough, brutally inconsistent stretch.

I think he’s still 1st team All NBA but, IMO, I wouldn’t have him in the top 5 of the MVP race

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Tatum rarely misses that, but he was so bad tonight, it's hard to be surprised. No idea what's going on.

Don't worry, someone will point out his 22/8/6 line a couple weeks from now and try to tell us he played well.

 

[bankshot1]

Another game where I hit the glass harder then the Celts.

Not a winning prescription

 

[GreenMonster49]

Didn't they change the rule a few years ago so that players couldn't call time out when they were heading out of bounds?

Yes, Rule 5, Section VII e. “A player shall not be granted any timeout if both of his feet are in the air and any part of his body has broken the vertical plane of the boundary line. This rule also applies to the midcourt line except during throw-one in the last two minutes of the fourth [quarter] or last two minutes of any overtime period.”
