Green Envy: What Jazz Fans Said - 11/6
Well, well, well! Who has 30 thumbs and their first win of the season? The 2013-14 Boston Celtics! The victory over the Jazz tonight not only marks Brad Stevens first win in the NBA, but the beginning of a season full of legitimate "Anything Is Possible" moments. Elsewhere in the NBA, the Magic beat the Clippers. Last week, the 76ers beat the Heat. Parquet miracles can happen. So, what I'm saying is leave those duck boats running, Red Sox.
Not a pretty win tonight, but we will take it. In what I am positive will be a trend for this column this season, the fan reaction isn't of the Celtics outplaying their opponents, it is of their opponents out-tanking the Celtics.
A win is a win is a win. See you in the lottery, Utah!
TOP THREE

Ty Corbin's quarter end talk must have been a reminder to the Jazz to remember what they're playing for, which is a lottery pick. #UTAatBOS

PLAY OF THE GAME:
Jeff Green's continued contributions- big (three from WAAAAY behind the three point line) and small (making foul shots and looking calm doing it). THE FULL SLATE:
Where did Boston get this roster? I've seen better at the YMCA. #UTAatBOS

If it wasn't for that 25-min stretch where the Jazz were outscored 60-25, Utah outscored Boston 62-37. #MoralVfortheMoralVictory #UTAatBOS
