3/7 - Catch-22 in Mile High

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

They have missed what feels like all their open looks. Its really seems like the delta.

Game ain't over yet.

 

[chilidawg]

So many missed opportunities. A couple wide open 3's for Jrue that he missed badly, then the turnover on break. Not gonna win this one that way.

 

[Euclis20]

And Holiday should've caught that, but Tatum made it way harder than it had to be. It's a 2 on 1 when the 1 is Jamal Murray, attack the rim and pass it only if he 100% commits to stopping the ball.

 

[Helmet Head]

You're blaming Tatum for that? It was a dime.

that was a tough one. Thought Tatum should have drove but didn’t thing the pass was all that bad

 

[Deathofthebambino]

If you mean Tatums pass then I disagree. It’s low and too hard and puts him under immediate pressure. Wasn’t a good decision to pass it there

I agree with you. One more dribble by Tatum and that opens up more either fir him or Jrue.

 

[lars10]

PP vs Joker. Nope

Joker did hook PPs arm to be fair

 

[Nator]

For Christ sake the free throws are killing them.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

The FTs and turnovers, many of them unforced, are disguising how close the game has actually been.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

LFG

 

[Just a bit outside]

Where is the T on Joker?

 

[teddykgb]

JM should have trolled us all and had JB take the technical FT

 

[Kliq]

Haha, that was an epic reaction from Jokic.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Joker is magnificent, but he really complains a lot.

 

[Ed Hillel]

These are the 2 best teams in the league.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Denver feels like a better version of the Celts because they have the best playmaker in the world.

And the Celts haven't stopped the choking narrative in the last 72 hours. Missed free throws, missed bunnies, missed open threes, bad decisions in the heat of the moment. The execution has not been great.

The refs have been brutal. Front and center in all the worst ways.

 

[CJM]

And Holiday should've caught that, but Tatum made it way harder than it had to be. It's a 2 on 1 when the 1 is Jamal Murray, attack the rim and pass it only if he 100% commits to stopping the ball.

It almost seems like the Nuggets have been playing the 2023 Heat defense against us, Murray in particular. Disrupt passing lanes, play handsy, and get under guys. Murray's been getting into Tatum's shit all night.

Jokic is just the saltiest motherfucker alive.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Lol, that foul call on JB was complete horseshit

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

God, I hate that throw the head back shit. The worst part of the NBA.

 

[Mooch]

Jokic is unreal. So tough to stop.

 

[chilidawg]

Hanging in there somehow.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Jrue to SoSH "taste it". He's helping them stay in this on both ends. They are tuff.

 

[SteveF]

30 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and zero turnovers.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

God, I hate that throw the head back shit. The worst part of the NBA.

That was such a classic NBA moment. He was drawing a whistle there unless he cold-cocked his defender in the face.

They had just won 11 straight and beaten Golden State by 96 points.

 

[TripleOT]

if Boston can’t get over the hump here, they will regret giving up five points at the buzzer in the first and second quarters, and missing 8 of 20 FTs, while Denver is 19-20

 

[lars10]

Joker is magnificent, but he really complains a lot.

If Sosh fans think Tatum complains a lot all they need to see is this game.. Murray and Jolie have complained all game.. getting almost every call.. while being ahead almost the entire game.

 

[TripleOT]

good job hustling to box out Gordon there, Tatum

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Man Jaylen getting tripped or whatever happened that last possession was a killer.

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

That was cool

 

[chilidawg]

Tatum just spectating.

 

[bigq]

Jrue for three!

 

[Kliq]

Thank you Jamal Murray for launching a quick three.

 

[ifmanis5]

Why are they even checking that?

 

[teddykgb]

Tatum just spectating.

For much of the game it’s been closer to sabotaging

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

that's outrageous - Cs are white hot and they stop play to check a three where he was a foot behind the line? wtf?

 

[Nator]

Let's bring the game to a grinding halt for a needless replay.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Thank you Jamal Murray for launching a quick three.

I hope everyone took note of that awful awful shot for the next time anyone wants to complain about a bad possession here and there by the Celtics.

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

That was cool

Ditto

 

[The Mort Report]

Jrue telling SOSH to SUCK IT!

 

[Ed Hillel]

The narrative tonight will be Tatum if they lose btw.

 

[Brand Name]

Especially impressive given consecutive road cities, time zones, and oh yeah, altitude. To say nothing of the fact it's a team of Denver's quality.

 

[bigq]

You're blaming Tatum for that? It was a dime.

Game thread immediate reaction. I could be wrong and it may have been a perfect pass.

Holiday again!

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

That was not cool.

 

[lars10]

Joker has gone from being fun to watch to ridiculous cry baby tonite

 

[ifmanis5]

Jrue heat check.

 

[CJM]

DAMAJA

 

[Just a bit outside]

Think they need to double and make someone else beat them.

 

[TripleOT]

Celtics playing dumb

 

[ifmanis5]

Tatum needed that.

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Oh, JT. That wide open corner three....
