3/31 B2B vs Jazz: Danny's Boys vs Danny's Boys redux

[mikeot]

Coming off that startling Bucks blowout, can the C's avenge their loss in Salt Lake and maintain the Mojo for the #1 seed still within reach? What say you? I say LFG!

 

[timelysarcasm]

Path to the 1 seed is as follows:

Celtics: win
Bucks: 76ers (L), Wash (W), Chicago (W), Memphis (L), Toronto (W)

First, it's time for a little payback on the Jazz. Let's go.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Tatum questionable and Rob doubtful. I think they don't give much of a shit about the 1.

They should sit Rob and Al. I'd rather cruise to the 2 seed and keep everyone healthy than go all out for the 1 seed.

Similar to the game in Utah. Rob and Al missed that one too.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Jackhammer the Jazz

 

[Ale Xander]

Undo Utah

Similar to the game in Utah. Rob and Al missed that one too.

And their size is going to be a problem again…

Gimme some long Luke looks.

 

[InstaFace]

Man, I knew Al was going to be out, but even 10-15' of Rob gives them a whole different look and gameplan.

 

[bankshot1]

Lock in, lock up the 2 and warm regards to Danny

Let's Go Celts

 

[TripleOT]

Free Kabengele

 

[TripleOT]

Celtics pregame doing a great Tommy Heinsohn retrospective.

I miss that guy.

 

[TripleOT]

No Lauri Bird, no Clarkson, no Rudy Gay, and Sexton is still out. The hero of Game 7 versus the Wizards is questionable.

 

[The Mort Report]

JB did not have that pass in his game to start the season. It's a great add

 

[Imbricus]

A little rough at the start, but they're trying hard at least. Not good that Tatum already looks a bit tired.

 

[JCizzle]

Good guy Tatum helping up folks after he got knocked down and fouled with no call. Good guys deserve whistles too!

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Kessler for all NBA.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Blech

 

[lars10]

When did the Celtics decide to not play defense? And when did Smart become an absolute turnstile?

 

[Imbricus]

Yeah the D is starting to look bad again.

 

[Imbricus]

Is Kabengele in uniform? Seems like a perfect game to play him.

 

[mostman]

Blake’s mustache is real special.

Man, that Utah coach is the most Utah-looking coach ...

It’s really been bad for a long time. He still has great hands and is a stone wall, but his quickness on defense is a step below last year.

 

[chilidawg]

Luka Samanic sighting. Would have liked to see him on the Cs.

 

[TripleOT]

Luka Samanic sighting. Would have liked to see him on the Cs.

He hasn’t exactly covered himself in glory so far in this game. I’d like to see Kabengele get some real minutes tonight

 

[lars10]

Seems like Utah's bigs are being allowed to pretty much do whatever when it comes to throwing guys around..

 

[mostman]

Man, that Utah coach is the most Utah-looking coach ...

Hardy - Ime brought him over as an assistant coach to the Celtics before he got his current job.

 

[Just a bit outside]

Is Blake pulling guys on top of him or are the refs just ignoring him getting fouled?

 

[joe dokes]

I'm drunk. But Eddie House's rotation discussion is blackout drunk.

 

[bankshot1]

I don't agree with everything he says but IMO Eddie House is good listen.

 

[Imbricus]

Thank God for White. Meanwhile, I want the second-round draft picks back we spent for Muscala.

 

[mostman]

Imo Eddie House is good listen.

He’s much easier to listen to than Scal. But I prefer Scal’s insight. I wish they could be merged.

 

[Imbricus]

Whoa. Do they not call travels now?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

I'm drunk. But Eddie House's rotation discussion is blackout drunk.

This game is drunk

 

[Just a bit outside]

Whistles just swallowed.

 

[joe dokes]

He has a nice voice

But "al and Rob should be playing tonight because you have to know when you're going to play" is not insightful.

I agree with you and disagree with him. Al on a b2b is not wise. Same with TL. There are bigger games to come. But his bigger point about using the last several games to set rotations and mind sets was dead on.

 

[128]

I can't believe Mazzulla is playing White so much tonite. Doesn't he know that Derrick is a poor matchup for Utah's big guards?

 

[128]

Jazz seem like they'd be an easy team to root for if you were so inclined.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

How the hell you let Olynyk camp out under the hoop?

 

[Tudor Fever]

I can't believe Mazzulla is playing White so much tonite. Doesn't he know that Derrick is a poor matchup for Utah's big guards?

Yeah, for a mere role player he is seeing a lot of time.

 

[TripleOT]

The Celtics decide to finally play defense with 20 seconds left in the half

 

[chilidawg]

Nice finish

 

[Imbricus]

Phew. Shooting and rebounding suck. The defensive effort is interesting: they look like a tired team that's trying to put up a good defensive effort and occasionally kind of giving up.

 

[TripleOT]

I agree with you and disagree with him. Al on a b2b is not wise. Same with TL. There are bigger games to come. But his bigger point about using the last several games to set rotations and mind sets was dead on.

If Boston without AL and TL can’t beat the Jazz at home when Utah is missing Markkanen, Clarkson, Sexton, and Gay, they’re not good enough to with the title

No shit, Eddie.
But once you take Al and rob out, rotations kind of go out the window.

This Celtic team has been an enigma this year. IMO when they're focused and play D and aggressive ball I think they're the best team in the league. AND 2ND PLACE ISN'T CLOSE. But there times even at full strength they lose focus, intensity and fall into bad habits and bad basketball. I hope the good Celts prevail over the next couple of months.
