the sorry bench came in
and poof, its a game again..
Posted by firstroundexit1 on Mar 16, 2021 | 8:03 PM

Playing Teague and Grant
is abysmal coaching
Posted by firstroundexit1 on Mar 16, 2021 | 8:08 PM

Teague, Smart and Grant together on the floor
Definition of ‘basketball suicide’

Quin will out coach Brad.
Posted by Boborino on Mar 16, 2021 | 8:12 PM

Let’s put Jordan Clarkson
in the category of unexpected Celtics killers
Posted by van_haylem_iii on Mar 16, 2021 | 8:18 PM

This team is embarrassing
Jordan Clarkson looks like MJ.
Posted by firstroundexit1 on Mar 16, 2021 | 8:19 PM

Celts play as good a offensive half
As they can play. & the Jazz will go I at half ahead
Jordan Clarkston is lethal
Posted by MAH007 on Mar 16, 2021 | 8:40 PM

Zero free throws. Zero.
That is not all on the refs. That is because we are not aggressive enough taking it to the hole. Tatum and Brown especially should be getting six free throws a game. At least Tatum wasn’t shooting all fadeaways.
Posted by Agit8or on Mar 16, 2021 | 8:45 PM

True
Rudy G changes the game tho. They are seemingly tentative to take it to the rack with him in.

Kemba u stupid pos!!!! Watch the play!!!!
I cant stamd him!!! Wtf was that?! Turn your head n whine to the refs?! As he begging for a phantom foul call on the three
Posted by CORNFED HARVESTMOUSE on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:01 PM

Love the intensity this quarter… Refs will put a stop to it im sure
Posted by CORNFED HARVESTMOUSE on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:03 PM

Man, I wish Daniel Theis shot the ball as well a Joe Engles.
Posted by HWTT on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:05 PM

Celts have 12 pts on 3
Jazz 36. NBA is a 3 point contest

I too am tired
of seeing smile all the time. It gets annoying.
Posted by Oldutican on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:09 PM

Brad is probably the WORST offensive cosch in the NBA
Posted by CORNFED HARVESTMOUSE on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:13 PM

Celtics crushing Jazz
after 3 quarter 79-77
Posted by JaylenBrownORjustJB on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:26 PM

lmfaoooooooooooo this is what happens when Brad Stevens is your coach
Celtics had a good thing going with Rob to end the 3rd, and Brad sits him. I don’t think there are many dumber coaches in the NBA

This team is lottery bad with this coaches rotations

Brad Stevens: “Hey guys, lets ignore the 3pt line. We don’t like winning”
Posted by firstroundexit1 on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:40 PM

Story of the Brad Stevens era is
to get down big and then wait till 5 minutes left to start trying again. Then come up short but enjoy the moral victory since you “didn’t so called give up” and fought to the end.
Posted by firstroundexit1 on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:43 PM

Were not very good.
Posted by Boborino on Mar 16, 2021 | 9:54 PM

Hey Brad. Ring ring
It’s Indiana U calling. Please pick up the flipping phone and leave! You are killing this team.

Brad stevens after the game
“Im more encouraged than discouraged…”
Posted by firstroundexit1 on Mar 16, 2021 | 10:00 PM

“I thought we played really hard and have a bunch that we can build off”
Posted by firstroundexit1 on Mar 16, 2021 | 10:01 PM

“They’re a really great shooting team”
Posted by spinetingler on Mar 16, 2021 | 10:02 PM

Don’t forget
“Those guys over there are tough” or does he go with”those guys over there are really good”? I got one “those guys over there are better coached”.
Posted by Vaceltsfan on Mar 16, 2021 | 10:04 PM

Gobert finishes +14, we had no answer.
Utah is deep, we are not.

Ughh, stop giving us national television games. I want NBCSB and for games to start earlier than 20 minutes after game time.

NP_3009
why schedule a game when you drag 30 minutes back everytime to show more useless shit no one wants to see

True_Quantity
TNT game so probably gonna start at 7:50 even though shit said 7:30.

dust1ng0ff
Game is on TNT so we’ll tip around 9

256dak
If the game is scheduled for 6:30, I could start banging my wife at exactly 6:30, get finished and listen to Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd 3 times and not miss the tip off.

True_Quantity
Mitchell is shooting 41 percent from the field this season. So let’s hope for a 10-35 from the field for 25 points tonight 🙏🙏🙏. I’m sorry but dude is so overrated.

256dak
Quinn Snyder is a Spider-Man villain moonlighting as an NBA coach.

256dak
Marv Albert looks raw. Someone pulled him off the grill after 2 minutes.

theleebert
Marv got that “ken doll” look going on rn

True_Quantity
Holy shit marv albert is one knock away from meeting jesus.

Rudy Gobert looks as clumsy as a piss drunk toddler

srstone71
What exactly did Theis think was going to happen challenging Gobert?

blitzortung
Fuck Jazz and fuck Gobert

bobmcadoo9088

fearofaflatplanet
Best start of the year not close

Icehorse19
Good TO Quinn

4orgeb
I’m scared for when Clarkson checks in

256dak
We started good and all but I’m still flabbergasted at Marv Albert’s patina.
Looks like someone swapped his facial cleanser wipes with 2000 grit sandpaper.

1337speak
God damn it, hate Ingles scoring off a Jazz OR

MoAz670_
Pain when are we gonna have an Ingles off the bench

dynamicflashy
Not a good end to the quarter.

Luckoduck
Brad really squandered the lead with that lineup

BlakeG3E
Brads lineups are so bad, I don’t understand how it’s possible.

TheAnonymousBadger
Brad, I’ve defended you man, but what the FUCK is a Kemba/Teague/Smart/Grant/Theis lineup supposed to do for us here

fearofaflatplanet
Let Utah back in the game

---

dust1ng0ff
I wonder what our lives would be like if we had a coach who knew how to run a perimeter defense and not give up a 3 every other possession

NP_3009
what would I give for a shooter like ingles

wolverines_17
Clarkson christ

ParquetJays
7 threes already from them jesus

ryandz97
Jesus we are playing bad

dynamicflashy
How do we never get bench players like Clarkson?

Minhas-A
We really gonna let joe ingles and jordan clarkson beat us. Great

luhvrrboy
We always let a bum ball out on us

PhinneyNH
Jazz are absolutely lethal from 3. It’s insane.

potatomanflan
Why the fuck do teams hit every three against us

jtrain7
I fucking hate that every game is a boring ass 3 point contest

BlakeG3E
God I can’t stand Brad Stevens

nedlifecrisis

TheAnonymousBadger
Tbf, you try getting around a Gobert screen holy shit that man is a wall

20wall
How can we be this bad at covering one single guy?

BlakeG3E
Clarkson should be banned from the NBA

Apprehensive-Many-70
Clarkson carries the Jazz

dynamicflashy
Clarkson is like Bradley Beal off the bench.

OrangeKookie
clarkson is literally their entire offense holy fuck

condemncondemn
Quin Snyder is much cooler looking than Brad

DoomdUser
Bruh, Derrick Favors is SUSPECT on defense.

530josh
This Jazz team is literally the same as it was in the 90s, except now every player is both John Stockton AND Karl Malone simultaneously

dust1ng0ff
Brad Stevens standing silently and shouting out zero adjustment instructions as the Jazz hit their 10th three pointer of the half

mikemasse10
SEMI IS AWFUL

deadfeesh
JAYLEN WAT ARE THESE PASSES

ericsharpmusic
Jaylen is the best passer on Utah

not1fuk
Smart this isn’t the Harlem Globetrotters fuck off with that shit

horseshoeoverlook
SEMI YOU DUMBASS CUNT

Ienjoymyself
Yes Theis….. please just stand there and watch Mitchell hit a wide open 3 to get him going.

BlakeG3E
Brad Stevens is so freaking awful man I can’t deal with this dude

Interesting-Move8822
These announcers suck

akaerikka521
Wtf? Are the referees fucking blind?

Billybaja
The nba is pathetic

srstone71
Sucks to outplay them for like 22 of those 24 minutes and to be losing.

pastel-212
How tf we went into the half down only the refs can explain

akaerikka521
NBA becomes to be a sissy game

---

OrangeKookie
Jordan Clarkson vs the entire celtics bench

Apprehensive-Many-70
Clarkson is clearly the best player on the Jazz

simplenicc
Can’t wait for the day that Gobert gets traded or leaves Utah and Jazz fans will finally admit how useless and overpaid he is in today’s game.

Sufficient_Visual_88
Am I watching the same game? He’s the reason the jazz are getting so many open shots

pazzo_cazzo
Enjoy Candace Parker’s insights on TNT.

DemonLlama77
She’s waaaaay sharper than Shaq, for sure.

Lightingfast31
I know Utah up one and they have the best record in the league but I ain’t a believer they’ve benefited greatly from no covid issues

TnYamaneko
They were clever enough to catch it last season and spread it around the locker room.

Apprehensive-Many-70
Refs trying to get the Jazz to win

Leo_Mushyyy
Stay mad Mitchell while your team keeps getting dicked in the first round

BlakeG3E
Get out of here Mitchell loser, dudes being kind to you bruh.

TnYamaneko
Oh fuck, Gobert just erased Theis great hustle…

yaboy_matt
rudy gobert is evil

BlakeG3E
You Gobert haters in here looking like real clowns bruh

dust1ng0ff
Take a fucking timeout brad.
Your coaching incompetence is staggering.

Icehorse19
Jazz got some damn good ball movement

ssccoottaa
Wow that ball movement by the jazz was sexy gotta admit. Why tf can’t we play like that

LW_2k
Their ball movement is impeccable

fearofaflatplanet
The way Utah moves the ball is what we should be doing. It makes it hard just for the defense to even track the ball because it’s whipping all over the court

TheBlueNote251
Imagine if we had Quin Snyder as our coach?

fiskeybusiness
Imagine Brad with the Jazz roster

TheBlueNote251
Jazz would be dead last
The guy can’t coach defense anymore let alone an offense

condemncondemn
Joe Ingles looks like he’s on a smoke break at all times

---

dynamicflashy
3rd quarter Brad Stevens

dust1ng0ff
He’s a disgrace

Celtickid1285
Call a time out you moron

condemncondemn
Joe Ingles looks like a hungover security guard

colecheerio
I’m having so much trouble telling Ingles and Bogdanovic apart.

256dak
It’s the one that looks like a lawyer and the other one might be an accountant.

256dak
Ingles & Bogdonavic looks and sounds like it could be a real law firm.
Maybe accounting.

Lightingfast31
Honestly its hard to watch the nba now with how shit the refs are every game

Celtickid1285
These nba refs really dictate these games league is fucking soft these days

HailKyrie
The refs are fucking pathetic.

Prestige-W0rldwide
Refs can go fuck themseves

si4ci7
Refs are insecure pussies

BradyGronktd1287
Lol Brad Stevens has gotten exposed as such a bad coach this season. He might be our Marc Jackson and that we need a new head coach to take that next step.

---

srstone71
I think I’ve finally pinpointed the thing about this team that pisses me off – they’re dumb. Like really fucking dumb.

samkifle
The Jazz move the ball so well. I wish our offense was built similar instead of playing hero ball most the time.

mrhjt
Boston has Teague Jazz has Clarkson
I’m not saying it’s why we are a worse team but it’s not helping.

BruinsCeltics1995
These white men can do no wrong in the refs’ eyes Jesus

PhinneyNH
So FUCKING sick of this obvious anti-Boston sentiment where all the bad, shitty fucking calls go on the Celtics and the other team gets away with EVERYTHING. How can the league expect these guys not to complain?

Wayne_Spooney
The one time Gobert doesn’t move we get foul hahaha

mikemasse10
HOWS IT FUCKING FEEL TO BE ROBBED UTAH

fbreaker
Quin Snyder looks like hes about to have a hernia

iAmTheRealLange
Sick of Ingles digeridoo ass

256dak
Joe Ingles looks like a guy that would play pickup ball in Liberty overalls because he came to the park after a day of putting on shingles.
Edit: Joe Shingles Roofing would be his company name.

ryandz97
4th quarter gonna be fun

---

1337speak
Ya’ll think I’m crazy if I think Quinn Snyder is pretty handsome?

GastricAcid
Yes actually

thekingamw
He looks like that dude who always gets those NBC shows that are doomed to fail.

TheCastleHasCrumbled
He looks like he enjoys cocaine

si4ci7
He’s got that sugar daddy energy

256dak
I feel like if you asked Quinn Snyder what grill human tastes like, he could possibly give you an answer

EJayRi
Btw why couldn’t we get Ersan instead of the Jazz?

dust1ng0ff
Hey look, another 3 we’re giving up

1337speak
Fucking Clarkson

Ienjoymyself
Clarkson has a super punchable face

TheBlueNote251
Yep the Jazz are just too well coached.
If we had Quin we don’t lose more than 5 games

Dank_Memes16
Gobert getting paid $100m to be the second best big on the floor right now

OrangeKookie
no skill rudy baguette

GastricAcid
Driving baseline on Gobert is not wise

Brad-Stevens
Yeah lets just keep on attacking Gobert and see what happens

Lightingfast31
In what world is isoing the dpoy a good shot and grant posting up wtf was that. Our entire team shot selection is shit

Apprehensive-Many-70
I hate seeing Gobert’s long self

bubsiboo
FUCK RUDY FUCKING GOBERT

256dak
Rudy Gobert isn’t a very intimidating name.
A guy his size should be called Balls Thunderdong or something

eat_trade_lift
Crazy to see Gobert shutting Jaylen down after that switch. The mobility at that size is impressive.

ThrownWOPR
You can’t go up soft on Gobert. Go hard or reverse it.

Photoshop_News
Doesn’t seem like he has longterm covid symptoms to me

iAmTheRealLange
The Covid Croissant can fuck right off

usehername6969
Let’s go super small against Gobert. Brilliant.

fiskeybusiness
Lmao okay I usually defend Brad but lineup would get waxed at LA Fitness

bedroom_fascist
This is depressing.

Ienjoymyself
Clarkson has more points than our whole bench…. overall 45-17 for Utah

cphelp17
If only the Celtics had a scorer off the bench like Clarkson for Utah. Make a damn move Danny

256dak
Balls Thunderdong is fucking us up

FloweredWallpaper
Fuck you Gobert. Fuck you officials.

gagakaba
What the fuck is this line up

dust1ng0ff
Brad Stevens is incompetent

bedroom_fascist
This is depressing and embarrassing.

celtics090
Why do we keep attacking gobert?

alkaline119
how many players touch it on each Jazz possession vs hours? it’s incredible how poorly we move the ball

Millvous
I wish we ran Utah’s offense

_Juntao
I’ve lost my patience with this team. Fuck them. Goodnight

BruinsCeltics1995
Fuck these refs

gagakaba
Why can’t we pass like they do. Damn

acat20
Its infuriating. Theyve had like 3 possessions this game that were better than any 1 possession weve had the whole year.

coolkidwannabe
And hit open 3s like they do

gagakaba
Yeah why aren’t we moving like they do.

_IronGiant_
Gobert is dominating us right now

Photoshop_News
Im so sick of watching us get abused under the boards.

TheBlueNote251
Does Utah win more than 5 games if Brad is their coach?

Armchair-Economist-1
Our offense is so frustrating. Watching Utah drive and kick… getting guys easy shots… vs. the degree of difficulty of our shots

mrhjt
It’s because they are a better team.

Beantown00
Do these guys fucking miss 3s?????

Brad-Stevens
PLAYING ZONE AGAINST THE UTAH JAZZ MIGHT BE THE DUMBEST THING IVE EVER SEEN

tmcuthbert
Quinn Snyder looks unhinged

---

harshvoldy
The only non shooter on any Utah rotation is their all star center. On the other hand, our rotations contain ‘brick it from the corner’ Grant and ‘drive the ball and kick it back out’ Teague.

samkifle
Mitchell isnt that good to me. He’s very fortunate to be playing with all these great players.

Brad-Stevens
HOLY SHIT ITS 8 ON 5

OrangeKookie
fuck these refs

These refs must be Mormons

CHOKE ON A DICK YOU FUCKING SCHMUCK REFS

Who’s fucking dick do we have to suck in the league office to get some fair calls?

I hope these refs step on Lego pieces every day for the rest of their lives.

Snyder can’t have this game go to OT.
He’s got lines to blow.

cmcg18
Used to like Mitchel but if he’s gonna start foul baiting when things aren’t going his way he’s gonna lose a fan really quick

ThrownWOPR
Jesus, their 3 point shooting. Unbelievable.

CumMilkshake
Synder needs to wear his mask correctly

GastricAcid
Fought like hell against the best team in the league, not a bad look

Jaqua92
Utah isn’t the best team in the league. This is how we cope?
The Bucks, the Nets, the Lakers, the Nuggets, the Clippers are all better teams

blitzortung
FUCK GOBERT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

horseshoeoverlook
Fuck this team. They suck ass

donorak7
Christ the refs called it one sided in the fourth to make sure the jazz won. We had so much effort tonight to be blocked by shit calls.

gobucks774
can’t wait for the jazz to get swept by the warriors in the first round

mailliamgreece
get rid of Brad Stevens
