I asked Tatum whether he would have issue with game-deciding shots going to other players, primarily Jaylen, on nights when he’s hot and Jayson isn’t: “Yeah (I’m good with that). I ain’t got no ego or nothing like that. I’m just trying to win.” #Celtics – 12:38 AM

This was one of those nights where Jayson didn’t have it and tried forcing it because he’s the star. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to go to Jaylen in these situations. #Celtics #Jazz. – 12:19 AM

Hard to envision a DHO between Williams and Tatum with 5 seconds left when Tatum is standing at the midcourt logo when the ball is inbounded. Williams didn’t have many options there. He could have hit Hauser in the corner. Tatum didn’t move much and neither did Brogdon. #Celtics – 12:04 AM

All this postgame talk about trusting your best player to make a play is nice, but Jaylen Brown shot fairly well in this game. Why not run something with Tatum off ball to occupy the defense and try to get Brown a shot in the mid-range where he’s been a killer? – 11:51 PM

Hardy notes how huge a game like this can be for the Jazz’s young players. Said it was massive for Agbaji to hit the 3, and huge for Kessler to anchor the paint and get that block. “You can’t simulate those situations.” – 11:36 PM

Going 2-for-1 late? Fine.
But going with a Jayson Tatum — who had ZERO second-half field goals — for a generic pull-up 3?
Last play for Redemption Grant? Fine.
But him driving solo into Utah’s trees? Was that really the play?
Some suspect decisions all around late. – 11:33 PM

Jazz are hanging in there with Boston so far — every Utah starter has scored already. Celtics up 14-13 with 6:02 left 1Q. – 9:20 PM

Will there be 3+ 3s in first three minutes of Celtics vs Jazz?
It’s happened in 3 of last 5 Celtics games. C’s and Jazz are 2 of top 4 teams in first-quarter 3PT attempts. Jayson Tatum shot it well in Utah at All-Star.
@DKSportsbook has it at +160 for 3+ 3s in 3 minutes. pic.twitter.com/8Df62cx090 – 9:01 PM

I would have Jordan Walsh in my third pick mix if I were the Jazz

Think of the fact that Brown, one of the most popular athletes in Boston, says he faces barriers against him here. That’s problematic. What about less famous people that look like him aiming to achieve similar goals? – 3:49 PM

Know Sopan, who did a great job with this, wanted to hit a variety of topics. I’m interested in hearing more about these experiences though. They matter for reasons beyond Brown’s future in Boston. I can sense Brown’s desire to be diplomatic, but any truth needs to be heard. – 3:41 PM

Since the All-Star break.
Walker Kessler is the 4th best screener in the pick and roll on offense (min 100 picks)

Marcus Smart will sit and Malcolm Brogdon returns for #Celtics #Jazz. Unless Sam Hauser starts again next to Derrick White, this could be Brogdon’s first start with Boston. I’d like to see him get one this year. Hauser is probably where they’ll go tho – 3:01 PM
