Why not challenge that if you're so sure?

Theis, with 11 pts in the Half.
What's his all-time scoring record?

I think he dropped 30 last year or the year before.

[Kalela]

Are the Celtics rotational players as bad as they come across or is Brad's system garbage?

[robdog_5]

0 ft's is **** pathetic, im tired of this team not getting to the free throw line consistently

I saw 2 fouls pretty clearly on jazz not called. Webber even said letting them play. Yet they change that whistle late in the half for jazz

[Bill Lumbergh]

Semi should be benched for the whole game. Give his minutes to Nesmith or something.

Danny should give Brad a real bench

Amen, brother

Imagine if we had a Clarkson coming off our bench.

You can't challenge in the first half. NBA challenge rules are a joke that basically means you have to save them for the final few minutes. I bet in slow-mo they aren't going to reverse that call anyway.

We don't have good nba players. Check how people outside this board feel about Brad. It's about 95% approval rate.

Ainge needs to get a forward. Semi and Grant are trash. Period.

I'll give Grant the Benefit of the doubt, in his 2nd year.
Semi though. Ugggh.

[Jammer]

Kemba makes clean steal. Ref whose view is blocked calls foul on Kemba. Kemba smiles. Doesn't run to Steven's to challenge. His Head is in the wrong place.

[Ill News]

It's been a weird game so far. Celtics shooting 60% yet trailing by 1, mostly because they let the Utah bench get hot and they've taken zero free throws themselves. Jaylen and Theis were our most consistent players that half, with Tatum showing signs of life in the 2nd.

Gotta remind myself that the Jazz have the best record for a reason, and we have middling record for a reason. Prepping myself to not be too angry if ever this game goes off the rails or something.

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

The Jazz are beating us despite 10 TOs and allowing us to shoot 60%+.

Shooting zero free throws will put you at a disadvantage. Theyre going in mostly but still too many jump shots.

Utah's also hit 10 threes and The Celtics have scored two points in three minutes.

I lied. 25 against Minnesota.

Still shooting only 30% of our shots from deep while theyre shooting 56%. Our mid 90’s offense is so **** frustrating

I dunno, man, I remember when we were taking 30-40 a game a couple seasons ago and fans were irate that we're trying to imitate the Warriors too much. Be careful what you wish for.

I understand math and assure you I wouldnt complain at that

He's smiled missing game winners this year shooting like 3/15

[Wes-J]

This is gonna be a bloodbath in the second half when the Celtics stop hitting almost every single jump shot.

Celtics don’t play as a team. They rely on the tough shot making of Kemba, Jaylen and Jayson.

May be close but it's only a matter of time before it comes apart with this offense.

Brad's responsible for this mess, can't pin that on Ainge.

Were trailing by 1 cuz they have a much better offensive system than us. Significantly so

Nice. If he keeps going, he might get close to that tonight.

Don't give him any benefit. Once in awhile he'll have a good game and Hit a few games but most games he's absolutely terrible.

Were gonna lose by double digits. Its just the math discrepancy lol

[radcot]

There have been many worse Celtic teams, but this may be the most frustrating. Can’t pass. Dumb plays galore. Bad shots. Perimeter defense sucks.
