The Return -- Celtics @ Jazz 11/9/2019 7:30 pm MST ESPN

Pretty solid game all around.

Mitchell played kind of poorly overall. Felt like his stretch of isos in the early 4th kind of got the Jazz out of their rhythm that was working well early.

Joe/Jae/Rubio/Rudy were all great. Favors was huge for a stretch getting offensive rebounds and he continues his hot streak on 3's.

Exum is just not on Quin's good side right now. I'm not exactly sure what he is doing or not doing, but it's clearly something Quin has a low tolerance for. Exum might be in danger of losing minutes to Neto once he gets healthy.

I thought Hayward looked pretty good too. He was doing some Hayward stuff out there, getting into the paint to find shooters and being physical on his takes. It was good to see.

Jazz got unlucky that Smart and Rozier got kind of hot from 3 there at the end. Jaylen Brown is terrible for them now. He had the early mismatch with Favors guarding him in both start of 1st/3rd and couldnt take advantage.
 
Here’s the lesson learned tonight: Don’t have kids. Or not three+ anyway.

I’m currently stuck in a hotel room with my wife and the three knuckleheads, my daughter in one bed, my wife in the other with our one year old, the baby in a pack n play, and me out on a sofa, with my right leg propped up on the seat of a chair, to make it feel like I have more space, hot as **** because my wife did God knows what to the thermostat.
 
game ball doesn't go to anybody, everyone had a unique stretch that changed the game. I'd probably say the most impactful from start to finish was Rudy-- he had three uncontested dunks so then they started surrounding him on drives. This opened up Joe, who heated up and got separation from Boston right before the half ended (a lead we never relinquished).

Sprinkle in some goodies from Jae's hustle, Rubio's bail-outs, and Favors single-handedly keeping us in the lead when our offence looked like dookie-stains.

A fun, all-around game, very happy that Jae was the one to put a stamp on it.
 
exum was just bad tonight tbh......just piss.

btw, that marcus smart flop at the end was so absurd, can't believe the refs fell for it.

Really happy for the guys... I hate ESPN games a lot... I just do but it was great for Hayward to get some national exposure tonight.
 
This was Rubio's best game of the season by far. He was under control, making reads and making great plays all night.
