Freaking awesome Game thread for Jazz @ Celtics!

Must be the 0-6 shooting that spaces the floor.

For the record shooting isn't my concern with him and he's defensively better just passing, mental and positioning mistakes. During the games I do ask for Ian Clark, especially after seeing Tinsley shoot or Lucas but after the game I realize most of the time it wouldn't help the Jazz win as he'll just make different mistakes and issues to help the Jazz have the worst PG group in the NBA.

We do have the worst crop. My point is simple, when the Jazz made a run who was playing PG? Clark. He didn't do anything offensively but he did enough defensively to give the team a chance. Same cannot be said of Lucas or Tinsley.

Who was PG when Jazz started the game 16-3?
 
Why did Gobert only play 6 minutes?

Did Ty bench Favors because Favors was sulking? Or was Favors sulking because he got benched?
 
Just watched the game after reading the thread (fast forwarded a lot but watched all if the 4th)

First off clarke was HORRIBLE. Missed a bunch of wide open shots, only one he made was a layup off a nice no look pass from burks on the break. He chucked up some bad shots and didnt pass very well.

Harris sucked also and like someone else said..... favors was just starting to find his groove. Favors should have been in. Harris got his but kicked on the glass as well.

Burks scored 6 pts in the 4th quarter and held bradley scoreless.... he had 2 costly turnovers. 1 where bradley poked the ball away when burks went for a crossover and the other one he was called for a carry and it was a questionable call, definately not a blatant carry.

The main reason for the jazz comeback though was ... A. hayward took the game over in every aspect of it.
B. The celtics just are not very good and they started sucking really bad even for a them (or us)
 
Well check off another team whose young talent is better than ours. Hard to use the "FUTURE!! POTENTIAL! DERP!" excuse when you can't even beat other young teams with supposedly less talent.
 
Wow, I thought it was going to take Hayward another month to find his groove offensively. Hopefully his effort from the past two games continues forward. It's definitely going to take Favors a bit of time.

Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Rajon Rondo... enough said. Those are the best players on the Celtics team and they've all played 5 plus seasons in the league. Their "young talent" is Olynyk and Sullinger, who are not better than Favors/Kanter.
 
Kanter, with that sweet jump shot, is a player you can win a ton of games with. Yes, his D is bad. But i can get better.

Pieces are there, the tinkering starts next summer. Bad news is Kanter extension talks are going to be just as bad if not worse as Hayward.
 
Also, no excuse for Hayward only shooting 2 threes. For as good a shooter he is he has to shoot more. 4 per at a minimum.

If he keeps up what he has been in the first five games, he will just get the max, no question. He is going to be a really good player. I am super excited about Kanter, Hayward and Favors. I wish the Jazz would have been able to get Hayward for somewhere around 4/45.

Rondo?

So all that talk about him tearing an ACL was BS?

How many pts did Rondo have tonight?
 
Hurry and hide Thriller, before they rip you to shreds for calling someone's opposing-team-pimping out
 
I can't see how anyone could find positives after this loss. I guess our guys got some PT. But that shouldn't be the focus. What good is PT when guys aren't executing or playing hard?

With the exception of that 4th qtr comeback when Boston fell asleep... This game was a complete waste of time. From halfway through the 1st to halfway through the 4th, our guys were sleep walking, screwing up, and feeling sorry for themselves. If we hope to get anything out of this season then we need to do better than just "show up" to these games. We need to actually attempt to play with effort and execute something... ANYTHING. It benefits us very little if we show up to these games and play as if they're a chill pickup game in mid-July/August.

Being beaten down by guys like Green and Bass (and the young Celtic players) is pathetic. Bass and Green are 5th options (at best) on most playoff teams. Probably even worse at this stage of their careers.

As bad as we are... Losing to a Rondoless Celtics team is inexcusable.

I get it, we're tanking. But... We were out of this game for most of it... With the Celtics missing BY FAR their best player.

Flip the tables. What if we were destroying between 20-30 pts the Celtics at home without Hayward or Kanter?

I wonder what all those OKC fans were saying when they lost like 120 games in 2 seasons. Bet they were all like "losing to the effing warriors is unacceptable." They still suck though, haven't even come close to winning a title...
