Celtics (40-24) at Warriors (52-11) Game #65 3/8/17

Jaylen, Kelly and Rozier are leading the =/-

once Rozier gains consistentcy, he is going to be a good player... his patience/passing has really improved

I think he may be good as well but he is very frustrating at times. He's playing well tonight....

How do the C's get Jaylen more involved? Does he have to be more aggressive? Does Brad have to design more action with Jaylen in mind? It seems like every time he gets the ball something good happens but he's just not getting enough touches.

The Celtics look much better after IT comments!

I probably would've been far happier tomorrow by staying away from this game, but the score has me locked in to watch the 2nd half.  FML, I love these guys.

Not bad. A miracle shot by curry and a missed layup bu smart. Change those and it's a tie.

I reallly like how the Celtics are getting their hands on warrior passes, breaking up the i offense.

He makes that cut to the basket, that Horford hit him on tonight for the and one, but no one ever hits him on it. He gets open a surprising amount and has his hands up for a pass but no one hits him. I guess it's rookie syndrome. I think the kid will be a weapon on both sides of the ball in years to come.

His comments didn't do anything.  This is how they would've played if he hadn't make those comments.  They're going against the best team in the league, that's enough motivation.

That crossed my mind. The vets just don't trust him yet, which I guess is understandable.

He had a slow first half against Phoenix too and then got more involved in the second. I'm hoping the same happens tonight. For Jaylen, that is, with a different final score, of course.

Well, here's the good news:

Smart, Crowder, and Bradley are a combined 3-17 in the first half. Even IT is 3-8. We committed 9 TOs, and had 8 shots blocked.

Yet we're only down 4. A good second half and this is our game. We SHOULD beat this team without Durant, and we're going to.

Seems like the whole team is playing harder, maybe just up for Golden State....

Should have taken the Celtics for a kidney at +8.5.

Yea i think Stevens should draw plays for him

He does good things with the ball when he gets it, he has two assists already tonight.

Just hitting him on those cuts he makes to the hoop would be a start.
