They always do. You could Stevens a team out of the local Y and he would make them competitive. Snyder on the other hand...

Youre talking out of your ***

I was literally just saying this to my wife and son. We always screw the pooch on either national TV or when our legends are watching in the stands.

Agree. Stockton needs to stay tf out of Vivid.

Don’t understand the Mitchell isolation over-and-over the last five minutes of the game. I get it for many possessions but every. single. one?!? That and the zone did Utah in.

 

[latin jazz]

We need to address outside shooting during the off-season. DM and Ingles can't do it all. I just don't expect the ball to go in when Rubio or Crowder shoot 3s

Simply matching Boston’s intensity would have won this game. No way a team void of any legit playmakers should have scored this much against Utah.

 

[str8line]

Dante will be so important to this team.

 

[Shad]

Tatum definitely played better than Donovan tonight.

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

Utah just got exposed. Stick a fork in em. Was a good run. Their chasing a consolation prize of making the playoffs.

LOL ok dude. We've lost what, 5 out of the last 27 games or something? Tough loss, no question. Should have been a W. But exposed? We know what the Jazz are. A good team now that drops some games against inferior opponents. Stevens out-coached Snyder tonight.

By the way, we actually outrebounded them by 3 or thereabouts.

 

[JazzyFresh]

Playing great then we start to run the clock down to nothing and try iso ball forcing us to take a bad shot or turn it oover.. Makes no sense why we basically went prevent offense.

Exum looked really good tho, his defense could've been useful there late.

Why do you only show up in game threads after a loss?

 

[Jack Strop]

No Horford, no Irving, no Smart, no problem...Jazz simply outclassed by a much better team. I wish I didn't hate the Celtics so much. Ainge has done an amazing job building his team. KOC/DL let player after player walk for no return (except cap space which Lindsey used only once). Celtics hit on so many picks. Lindsey got Gobert and Mitchell but used 5 1st round picks to end up with Brickio as his starting PG.

This loss makes me not want to watch anymore Jazz games this season...

 

[elan_prodigy]

Guarantee the soft **** Utah media dont ask **** all of Quin. Just let him coast through his garbage rotations and plays.

 

[JazzForLifee]

He's doing porn now?!

They always do. You could give Stevens a team out of the local Y and he would make them competitive. Snyder on the other hand...

You're overreacting a little bit. Stevens and Snyder are both great coaches. If you've forgotten it was Quin who got the W in Boston. Brad got one on him tonight, nothing to stress about. Just like players have off nights coaches can too.

Yep and we beat them on their home court without Gobert. We outclassed them and we were the better team then. Funny how that works. Any team can beat any other team any given time.

This is much easier said than done... Terry Rozier is near Gobert levels of intense... Jaylen Brown, Semi Ojeleye, Yabusele, Shane Larkin... Nader... Baynes.. The C's roster composition is several top-guns (and one in training - Tatum) surrounded by some certified dogs...

C's showed a lot of grit tonight in that 4th quarter. That was like a good heavyweight fight the way this game swayed.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Jazz are hitting a streak where teams are just hitting a lot of shots on Utah. Boston shot 58% from 3 and a lot of those were heavily contested.

Meanwhile the Jazz shot 28%.

Also, it felt like Gobert dropped at least 3 offensive rebounds late in the game. Just brutal luck that turned into the worst defensive possession on the final play for the easiest shot of the night.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Rubio/Crowder - 3/14 from 3

Jingles/Mitchell - 5/14 from 3

Jazz shot a miserable 9/32 from 3.

Favors was a +15, but only got 23 minutes. I think Snyder messed up by playing Gobert and Crowder so much - especially when the Celtics has 2 bigs on the floor for a lot of the game.
