A brush with destiny -- Celtics at Jazz 3/28/2018 7:30 pm MST

Why were we so worried about Larkin driving on Rubio... Rudy stayed in the paint and ingles came to help... Rubio was in decent position.

I still hate everything.
 
For all those who complained about him jacking 3s. I sure would have liked to have seen about 4-5 more 3s by him tonight.

Agree. Shooting and ball movement beats a zone. Picks are not really useful. Shoot the three and punish them on the offensive glass.
 
Honestly though it really was mostly just one team shooting the lights out and another team that can’t seem to throw it in the ocean.

Rubio did some good things but so many times when we have them in the blender the possession ends with a Rubio jumper. He had a couple of his WTF turnovers too. I just don’t know what to make of him sometimes.
today he had had a bad shoting night, it´s clear. But if he scores 2 more threes we ´d be talking of a 20/10/8 3/8 3/6 night with a couple of wtf turnovers and 3 wtf steals. But even in this case i´m sure peaple wouln´t be happy with Rubio´s perfomance. That´s a fact.

Anyway this is fantasy, the team lost and that´s is the main important thing.I hope Utah will play the playoffs. Go Utah!
 
Im pretty bummed to lose this one. Despite incredibly hot shooting from Boston we still had plenty of chances to win this at the end. Oh well. Sometimes its just a little luck or unlucky in sports.

I was happy to see Exum turn it around. He was focing things in the first half and then came out and really stepped up in the second.

I got to go to the game with 2 of my nephews. They are big Boston fans and it was their first NBA game ever. So as much as losing sucks it was pretty cool for them to get that experience and it almost was okay to get to see them so excited and see a game winner for their team on the road. That is really what sports are all about.

The Jazz will still make the playoffs. This game among all of our losses might make a slip a spot in the playoffs or it might not matter at all.

Its a make or miss league. Boston made em we didnt. We outplayed them in ever other way except those 3s.
 
How/why do you not go 2 for 1 at the end of a game like that? It's basic strategy in that situation. They had 40 seconds left and stood around and let the clock wind down when they should have been getting up a shot. I put this on the coaches, that should have been a 2 for 1 opportunity at the end.
 
These last two home losses were brutal. We really just blew it here at the end. the 5th seed was ours for the taking, and it looks like we wont get it.
Inexcusable lack of rebounding, and focus when it mattered. Also, a horrible half to begin the game. Really sad right now.

Not sure anymore if I want to make the playoffs, and play Houston. I'm sadly kind of leaning towards a lottery pick, and coming back hungry next year.

We aren't ready for prime time, but we are awfully close. I want another scorer/shooter.
 
Outscored 9 - 0 to end the game. I expect the team will look at why and get back to work. If you guys give up on this team after winning 23 out of 28 games then you don't deserve to watch the games.

Go Jazz!

Typical Jazz fan who considers winning 23 of 28 a victory. Get your mediocre lovin *** outta here!!

I feel like that strategy no longer exists. Jazz stopped doing the 2 for 1 the second Sloan left.

2 for 1 mistake definitely is not on the coach. Players had to recognize that. You can't call a timeout for that.
 
In this last stretch, we get Memphis and LAL twice. Those 3 are must wins. If we can get 1 more, we are definitely in the playoffs. 46 wins should do it.
