Either you're just a casual fan or you are **** clueless


I do agree to a point. Joe is useless, but this is the Jays 3rd coach and they're still on this passive/lackadaisical effort bs. Same bad habits going on years now. They don't have that killer instinct needed to win it all.


JB was only one attacking at least. Everyone else settles and I'm far from a JB Homer.

As he always does.

how so? he was cooking the duo of white and jrue. what did jb have to do with that?


What's your point?

He literally disappeared.

It's not a first half game only.

this is so corny. he missed shots in the 4th but was the main reason we were cooking this game. his defense was better than almost everyone else on curry. he also gave us so many chances in the OT. score, fts, and the assist 3 to al. won the minutes without tat, al and jrue. had the block and rebound on klay. helped strip curry but we missed the 3 and went to ot. yall want jb to be bad so bad it hurts you.

Queta should play more minutes than Horford. He grabs boards, offensive and defensive. He protects the rim. He can score if you can pass him the ball in the paint. We already have a million 3 point shooters. We don’t need another mediocre one.

He was last season maybe not as good but he was a beast. I don’t know who tf this Tatum has been the past 15 or so games.


You can’t be one of the greats if you have a lot of games like this. The problem with JT is mental. He’s weak mentally and settles a lot. Doesn’t want to grind it out. **** Joe for his poor coaching. Hauser on his own brought the warriors back in the game, and Joe took his time in bringing him out

One of the other annoying things. They had been pushing the pace and killing warriors playing fast 4th quarter they spend all of it just playing slow trying to attack Curry. Meanwhile clock is ticking down and a lot of time it didn't result in a great look. Just play fast like you've been then if nothing is there attack him, but they made that the whole plan

It's a regular season game in December.


Yeah whatever. Steph and Klay showed no fear….they knew they would win. So did I and I’m sure you knew it too. When we had 5 chances to score and Tatum took that soft as Charmin 3 pointer as the 5th shot…..that’s why he’ll never deliver….he always chooses the easy shot.

Probably had a higher chance of getting Curry to foul out by just playing normally within the offense.

Good game, was just happy the Warriors competed after being in danger of being run out of the building.

If it’s a jump shooting contest, Curry and Klay can still make them as well as anyone. Warriors trapped aggressively to protect Steph so Celtics got a lot of wide open 3s. Those were good shots but fortunately for the Warriors, the Celtics cooled off, except for White.

But hope you guys win out the rest of the road trip.

ok. watch the game again. the only time jb was mediocre was shooting in the 4th. he was driving and dishing all night. still crap from 3. Still tightening up on his man. literally, teams have been finding ways to move him off a guy he is shutting down. and it's beaten us every time. curry and anthony edwards are 2 prime examples and we lost both games in OT as they scorched others.

So the only time he sucked was during the time of the game where they're supposed to be closing it out?

Ya, that's the definition of choking. He is who he is.

He missed shots! Still did other things, enough to win in those moments! I named a few in the game thread. He couldn’t hit his shots but he didn’t force it. He came with some clutch rebounds and a block, assisted steal on curry, got al the corner three he finally made, fts that he hit. There were plenty of things he did at the end but he did miss a bunny.

He missed a shot.... 1 foot from the rim.

What about his egregious offensive foul in the 4th?

It's ok. Brown can handle the criticism. After all he is the highest paid player in NBA history.

Hi all, I come in peace. ^ This. GSW is obviously very beatable this season, but they are still a veteran squad at the core and they have seen it all. Being predictable like this plays into GSW's hands on defense. You got 5 fouls on Curry playing your natural offense. That was the way to get the 6th.

So he missed a shot and bumped curry? Wow… terrible. He does receive plenty but this wasn’t him choking away a game. He did enough in key moments to help us get a win, just needed to score more. Drive to the hoop all game, defended curry about as good as a SF can, rebounded, assisted, and got to the line. Everything you want from him but somehow he deserves criticism in this one because of a missed bucket, he should have made no doubt, and didn’t hit the FEW other shots he got in the 4 and ot?

When he stops choking. I'll stop complaining.
