Celtics are half playing so it's about even.Im half watching sadly at some dumb xmas party. The call on white is lol bad
How would Al and Rob help us chase Curry and Thompson around their screens and have them actually miss a 3? By hugging the screener?Not shooting great and it is a tough matchup without Al and Rob because Curry and Thompson are punishing the drop coverage on the pick.
Have you been watching Blake? He just sits in the paint.How would Al and Rob help us chase Curry and Thompson around their screens and have them actually miss a 3? By hugging the screener?
He’s scored 20+ in 8 of his last 10 gamesNot worried about a loss if the reason is a washed Klay Thompson having one of his 5 good nights this season.
Yep. And it happens but i was really hoping for a laser focused Tatum that brought his A game after last year. Warriors are in his head. Again, it happens.We got 2022 NBA Finals Tatum tonight instead of '22-'23 Regular Season Tatum.
I think they would certainly play up tighter on the screen and would switch on Thompson every time.How would Al and Rob help us chase Curry and Thompson around their screens and have them actually miss a 3? By hugging the screener?
Me either, but Tatum has to get these guys out of his headNot worried about a loss if the reason is a washed Klay Thompson having one of his 5 good nights this season.
This is true of every team.Not sure where to look this up, but the Nets announcers suggested that sometimes the Celtics half court defense is much better than their transition defense…
The way they’re shooting tonight, those may not be passes.Shoot the ball. They are passing up open shots for cross-court passes.
Empty stats. He doesn't do much else anymore so I don't care if he scored 28 during an 8 point loss to the Pacers.He’s scored 20+ in 8 of his last 10 games
Yeah, as long as Klay stays healthy, he's only going to get better.He’s scored 20+ in 8 of his last 10 games
Well, yeah. But in degree. But I dunno.This is true of every team.
If they continue to be the 11th seed then it doesn’t matter.So is this a one off bad game - law of averages thing against the 11th seed in the West? … or is this a pattern - that we can’t beat this team and won’t when a banner is on the line in June?
Another guy who finished the series poorlyWhite seeing ghosts tonight.
It would appear so.Exactly. There's no compelling reason to have a guy bigger than Tatum out there against this Warriors lineup. Who are we worried about making us pay, Kuminga?
Unless Jim Irsay buys the Warriors they’re not hanging a banner this season.So is this a one off bad game - law of averages thing against the 11th seed in the West? … or is this a pattern - that we can’t beat this team and won’t when a banner is on the line in June?
Hard to get assists without making shotsGolden State has twice as many assists as the Celtics. Which sounds about righr.
That was weird, right?Tatum helping Green up as the play is happening is pretty sickening. I'd rather he kicked him in the dick.
I think my more genuine answer is that transition D is always bad—the question is more about how well you stop transition opportunities before they happen, usually by making shots.Well, yeah. But in degree. But I dunno.
