Me too. Dude was excellent at changing the pace of a game, and was a scrappy little defender. Why the heck did we let him go?

No defensive intensity and our live and die by the 3 mentality is getting old! Stop chucking up threes 24/7 and swing the ball around, go to the rim!

Rozier is so damn wild offensively. Still waiting for him to show up this season..

He's just taking better shots. Shoot 3s, attack the rim, go to the post and ask for the ball. That shouldn't change no matter who is around him.

Awful defense.

But it's pretty crazy what we have seen out of Murray, Booker and now Ingles during this damn trip. People are punching wayyy above their weight against us.

Pretty poor defensive effort from the Celtics in the first half. Utah 58 points, 61% shooting and 44% 3 point shooting. Utah doing whatever they want on offense

I feel that way too. This team on the whole, is a mess. Wonder what the hell they were doing during training camp. cant shoot or can't stop anyone these days.

One of two guys with a positive +/- at halftime.

Byron Scott? Blarg.

Jazz was getting so much momentum I was so glad the half already ended. Ingles is a smart, finesse player. Gotta be more physical with him. He's not even bothered by Tatum's length.

Bill Lumbergh · Post #376 » by **Bill Lumbergh** » Sat Nov 10, 2018 3:38 am

Had no idea Tatum had 12 at the half. Very quiet 12 he put up. Efficient, too.

We have the best defense in the league.

We might be the worst team to end halves lately

That was an ugly end to the half defensively

He did this so much last year. That's when he's at his best. When he's not forced to be the best player.
