Better guard the arc. Find a way to stunt their passing game.

Celtics might do well here because they don't even care about taking the shots that the Jazz force teams into. They are already prepared for 25 midrange shots.

Jazz #1 team in 3PA/possession and #1 team in opponent 3PA/possession. They force the most midrange shots. Not confident in this one unless Celtics are just on fire with their jumpers.

Ooh it would be really nice to get a win here. Jazz are a great team but they don't seem quite as invincible as they did when we played them a month ago. They were taking and making 3's at a historic rate but they've cooled off a bit and lost some games recently. Go C's.

I long for days when our offensive execution in the clutch goes back to this...

Watch on YouTube

This is a set play with Larkin and Semi, off all people, making reads on the fly. Didn't hear many complaints from fans about role players back then. Nothing about guys being too young for the moment. Two rookies, one soph, one 3rd year player, and Larkin. Just guys buying in and playing like a team. I believe this is from the Hospital Celtics season when both Kyrie and Hayward were down.

What a fun group that was easy to root for.

Why you doing this Zoya, making me reminisce fondly of that Celtics team...seeing the likes of Horford, Rozier, Morris, Larkin, and young Brown and Tatum make clutch plays hurts a little :cry:

Miss those guys, and I miss that Brad Stevens. He peaked that year and should've won COTY.

Another test for our team tomorrow against a good Jazz team. They played well against the Nets, only fading down the stretch, so I'm hoping they can keep up their level of intensity tonight. And no more injuries, please.

Go C's!

This bunch w/o Hayward isn’t much fun to watch. It’s a battle of 3 ball hogs vs other teams mostly. I want Barnes but then we’ll have 4 hogs.
Smart is our hope to get this team clicking again I think. The Jazz would be a great win but having Walker, Brown and Tatum either drive into crowds or go iso doesn’t bode well.

Beating the team with the best record, would be a good start.

We should Start Rob Williams.

No Tristan means no double big to start that’s always good. Very excited we played the jazz good for the most part last time except for just a trash like 2 minute stretch of defense late and it got away from us.

Jayson and Jaylen need to assert themselves early other than Royce Jazz don’t have great perimeter defenders.

Celtics badly need a quality win. Seems like it’s been awhile since they got one. Team is getting healthy and winning games of late but this would be big for confidence and momentum.

My immediate reaction was "Wow; we might actually have a chance to win this one."

Was that wrong?
