Boston aren't looking that good. Still, shouldn't be easy.

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

Moved from 3rd ti 4th in the East this week. Maybe Jazz catching them at a time where they are slightly vulnerable, but agree with Inigo, definitely not an easy game. But then again, maybe they hit their shots like they have been most of the season and blow them out.

I guess Conley is sitting.

Still pretty impressive the games we have played without ingles, Favors/Mitchell or Conley have been wins.

Really good.

I think Boston will end the season with a higher win percentage than they have now. They have impressive talent, but they've played a lot of games with key players out --- Kemba Walker out 13 games, Tatum 5 games, Marcus Smart 5 games and Jaylen Brown 2 games. Marcus Smart is listed OUT tonight and Jaylen Brown is listed as TOSS UP GTD. Go Jazz!

Joe/Bojan lineups haven't been good, so it will be interesting to see how that starting unit does. Should be a nail biter, looking forward to it.

I don't think the Jazz played particularly well that half, but they still have a 1 point lead. If they can pull it together for the next half they can take control.

Is Favs playing on 1 leg again? He seems slower and doesn't seem to have much lift the last few games (I know he had back issues and maybe he's still having issues).

Should be 3 fragrant 1 against the Celts. Poor refs tonight. :banghead: Bogey was hammered in the face.

"They've got some closers on this team now" said the TNT announcers.

Lol at Shaq taking credit with his ”constructive criticism" of get gud. What a tool.

I didn't think this was the Jazz best game, but they are doing what they need to do to win. It's a refreshing change. Gobert and Mitchell had another solid performance.

Brown and Tatum are a solid duo. Really like them. Boston just needs size desperadesperately.

Refs ruined what was a very enjoyable game. You don't get paid by the whistle!

This team is ridiculously good. I don't think the Celtics played bad and I don't think the Jazz played particularly well. We're just that good of a team right now.

20-5. This is crazy. Conley sitting. Its still early but man, this team just keeps coming at opponents with ruthless energy. Q for COY?

The whole first half I was waiting for the Jazz to blow it open. Refs sucked big time tonight and jazz really didn't get it going and still took control for win when it mattered most. Crunch time. Team is playing better than any Jazz team ever. Key games coming up that'll tell the world what this team is about. You have 7 guys who came flat light it up. Looking forward to LA games.

Yes Shaq is a unique source of endless entertainment for Jazz fans. He literally cannot help himself.

Also agree on Boston’s talent. Those guys are really good, they yea need a Gobert.

Seems to me every team is asking themselves how to find a Gobert

Great game..... DMItchell has strong game, Bojan drives for 2 dunks, Ingles nails many threes.....great team effort, Jazz great at passing to set up three pointers.
