You can see the impact Smart has on the team even when he's rusty

Back to Smart's impact, we are quietly having one of our best games of the year right now, if not the best.

How many times would he have tried to test Gobert in the post?

Thankfully our defense held strong in that 3rd, didn't allow the Jazz to pull away that much.

We can still win this. Tatum and Brown just need to stamp their class on this game down the stretch.

We don't need TT, ground bound player who clogs the lane

The problem is because those players don’t compliment each other. All three are think shoot first players. Celtics could really do with a playmaking starting point guard

Get us a couple of playmakers, Danny!!!

At what point do you start shortening the rotation and play to win?! This 11 man rotation crap isn’t going to cut it

That's such an idiotic play by Brown. He had zero chance whatsoever of getting that shot up over Gobert.

2 mid range shots and 1 forced layup. What a way to start the quarter

This team plays like losers. Jaylen trying to post Gobert. Such an unbelievably low percentage selfish play.

That play by Jaylen showed why Tatum didn’t bother driving against Gobert earlier in the game.

He’s going to shut that drive down 9 out of 10 times.

I like Payton pritchard a lot, but he is strictly being used as a 6' one shooting guard. Playing alongside 6 for toll Kamba. What the **** do you think is going to happen when the 4th quarter starts stupid Brad Stevens.
