1/19/2023 Celtics host Warriors: Jiri Welsch is Watching

[scottyno]

When they played poorly- for myriad understandable reasons- against that team in the previous finals, yes.

Tatum had really rough sledding for the MVP anyway: he'd have to have a pretty overwhelming case this year, and he had to get past the Warriors narrative. That shouldn't matter, but it does.

Somehow that narrative haven't hurt Jokic, who has won 2 straight mvps and is the betting favorite to win a 3rd and has 1 playoff series win the last 2 seasons. If Tatum doesn't win it'll be because Jokic or Luka, or maybe Giannis was better, not because of how he played in a very small subset of games.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Hit a fucking shot, Tatum

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Oh its a rock fight

 

[Auger34]

Warriors games are unwatchable with the whistle they get. I'm convinced the officials are scared of Draymond and being featured on his podcast.

it’s honestly amazing. Rasheed Wallace was much bette and got a T for sneezing. Draymond basically knuckles up every game and the refs cower

 

[Dr. Gonzo]

My 8 year old: “Why are there so many whistles?”

 

[jablo1312]

i don't really have any beef w/ those 3 wide open 3's, it just hurts

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Drive one time Tatum begging you.

 

[ifmanis5]

Infuriating to watch this.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Stone Masons on TNT

 

[The Social Chair]

Keep missing more 3s with a full shot clock.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Keep firing these threes guys, not like RWIII had his way inside earlier.

 

[dhellers]

They need Ortiz to give them a hard talk about not letting the opposition make you stupid.

 

[BigSoxFan]

I think I retract my “we win last year with Brogdon” argument

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This third quarter may not end before the start of the late game

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Dubs every time they play the Celtics:

 

[djbayko]

Hallelujah.

 

[dhellers]

I think I retract my “we win last year with Brogdon” argument

To be charitable, the Celts 30+ point player (in the finals) is kind of useless today (J Brown)

 

[The Mort Report]

I love Curry…and I really fucking hate the Warriors. That’s how annoying the other players and the coach are

This is where I'm at too. Kerr is such a damn hypocrite

 

[jablo1312]

if they're gonna launch like this they need to hit the offensive glass harder

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I think I retract my “we win last year with Brogdon” argument

Shush you!

 

[ifmanis5]

Please make some shots.

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Tatum had that offensive board and Brogdon did the stupid tap out move and the C's lost it.

 

[The Mort Report]

Brogdon and Rob care

 

[chilidawg]

Getting good looks, but can't make a shot.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Down seven with a quarter to go feels like a huge lead when you consider that the C's missed exactly 1,765 shots during that third quarter alone.

 

[djbayko]

At least I like the late effort in that quarter. Continue that.

 

[bohous]

There is zero ball movement tonight. They are just driving and kicking it out.

 

[bosockboy]

35% from 3 is our magic number; hit that we are pretty much unbeatable. 26% and missing wide open looks.

 

[mikeot]

Brogdon and Rob care

So does Derrick.

 

[LesterFan]

Need to get hot from 3

 

[jablo1312]

Shot clock was off, would appreciate a bit more awareness from the guys.

More macro, it might be random chance it might be better spatial awareness or something, but it feels like a lot of o-reb tip outs on Warriors 3's remain w/ the dubs, while the Celts either bat them away from each other or to the opponents.

 

[Auger34]

This is where I'm at too. Kerr is such a damn hypocrite

basically wants to be a hall monitor about the integrity of the game while simultaneously sticking up for ans coaching the dirtiest shit in the game…

 

[Tudor Fever]

18 point difference on 3s. That’s what it boils down to here.

 

[Reverend]

Tatum is so hell bent on shooting himself through his slump from the arc that he’s forgotten he has other ways to score.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I think that was a TV error, shot clock only resets to 14 on and offensive board and there were 18-19 seconds left.

 

[ifmanis5]

Please drive.

8-32 from 3.

 

[dhellers]

White needs to take the rest of the night off

I was hoping that DWhite's bigGame hesitance was in the past... but damn

 

[Helmet Head]

Just bench white, he doesn’t have it tonight

 

[jablo1312]

white picking up where he left off at the end of the finals

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Unless the role players stop bricking free throws and open threes they can’t survive the Jays being bad too.

 

[Tudor Fever]

If we can go from shitastic to even average shooting, we can win this.

 

[ifmanis5]

Frustrating to see White continue to struggle offensively against the Dubs. Especially when the Jays are off, he needs to hold his own.

 

[SteveF]

They've sucked shooting from basically everywhere.

 

[LesterFan]

FTs killing them too

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Where is Draymond’s T for clapping?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Man alive, I hate me some Draymond Green.

 

[Ale Xander]

They need to put Pritch in for White

 

[Helmet Head]

Do the warriors just constantly hack and get away with it?

 

[Ale Xander]

If Devi can shoot at these rims, why can’t Tatum?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Lol at letting Draymond dribble make all the defenders run away from a wide open shooter.
