Celts Stink Up The Bay, Can't Get the Dub! Loss vs GSW 12/19

[fallguy]

This game shows why going at players in foul trouble by repeated ISO is dumb and most likely results in killing your offensive rhythm.

Agree.

Although there was plenty of other stupid on display tonight.

Basically the Warriors packed the paint and gave us open threes and we bricked 'em. Simple as.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Complete choke job. I at one point wanted to see this Warriors team again in the Finals to get our lick back. But it's obvious we're never beating these guys in a series as long as Steph is in the league. Same **** story every time. Let him abuse Al and our bigs on switches, panic when he gets going and completely fall apart on the other end. This is a 4-2 series in their favor as long as Steph is alive lol. Especially when JT is **** awful against them

It’s embarrassing considering the Warriors are junk this season and won’t get near the finals barring some absurd sort of turnaround.

Pretty easy way to beat the Celtics over four rounds if our only counter is shoot and hope.

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

Even with no green playing Boston is still scared to death of the warriors

[Memokerobi]

Also, whatever feud you might have with JB, its clear that he doesn’t like this Warrior team and losing to them and he tried his best to win on both ends, he was especially great on defense down the stretch.

If Tatum shows half of that competitiveness, the game’s not even close.

This game is just another indictment on this group but yeah let’s keep blaming the coaching and not these losers.

It's 100% true. This team is actively scared of the Warriors, especially in crunch time.

[PierceFan4ever]

Tatum **** can’t explode anymore. Dude struggles to score 25 these days and looks slow and lazy af most of this season.

Started off hot doing the Paul Pierce post up thing but then got extremely lazy the last dozen or so games chucking threes missing free throws taking quarters off doing nothing. Where tf is the player from last season…can’t expect to win it all not against the best players when our best player is always pulling some bs

The relentless emphasis on 'all open threes are good shots' has **** up this team the last two years.

I just think this style is not gonna win us a championship. Porzingis changes things greatly being 10 million times better than Horford on offense but **** Tatum needs to cut out the 3 point chucking. He’s not a good three point shooter. Probably can be if he took quality shots but no. Just screams lazy to me when he doesn’t want to attack and draw fouls or post up over and over like Kawhi would do. Tatum can absolutely do nearly whatever he wants when he drives or attacks from the post up but the relentlessness chucking threes even when you’re struggling is a joke. The pacers in season game and this game the biggest shots Tatum took is a bs three which predictably are bricks.

This dumbass coach has to realize at some point not calling a timeout and letting Tatum dance around only the 3 point line only to chuck has not worked and will probably never work. Call a timeout and be a **** coach and run a play.

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

Well the good news is I learned my lesson never to stay up for a late game again.

[leper-con]

Spoelstra is watching this just cackling and hoping for a rematch.

I want nothing to do with that Heat team ,I’ve been watching them all season, they are an extremely well oiled machine.
We are th exact opposite, we still can’t figure out what to do.

Tatum is a great three point shooter no matter how many he misses.

Or so I'm told.

[ThePigeon]

I’m pretty much done with Joe. Absolutely sick of the let’s get cute and let them figure it out BS. They won’t. We know that. Same old story.

Call a timeout. Run a play.

Problem with Joe is he probably doesn't have one. That's why he doesn't want to call time outs.

I thought this is why they surrounded him with experienced assistants
He still has no clue in close games and probably stubborn as hell

[NYCelticsfan136]

Tatum is such a puss when a team gets in his face physically. He needed to show up once again and he came up small like always.

[Triple7]

So sick and tired of this live and die by the 3 offense. They just waitig for us to miss the 3. Imagine having cp3, steph and klay inside, and we can’t take advantage of their lack of size. Bailed them outby not attacking the rim constantly. Sucked that porzingis can’t play. Horf does nothing but shoot 3’s . Fake big.

Maybe if Tatum plays like himself or a little bit below his normal self, we would have a title with this squad. The fact that Tatum continues to play **** trash against this team is annoying af to watch. Brown has held his own against them but Tatum has not at all.

Read on Twitter

We are screwed. Back to it being a make-or-miss league instead of changing your points of emphasis or adjusting your offensive attack depending on your opponent. This the same **** that happened when we lost to the Pacers who have no interior defense. We also didn't have KP then but threw up brick after brick after brick. Uncanny how we ended up with same percentage -- 29.3% from 3.

[GrandTheftRondo]

Tatum legit played the game like he’d taken 4 valiums pre game or some ****.

I don’t give a **** that he sprained his ankle. What a pathetic cop out.

You see that dude number 30 on the Warriors? That’s what all time greats do.

That dude has also sprained his ankle plenty of times and still had huge games. Remember the 2016 barrage of 3s against OKC where he hit the 37 foot game winner? He rolled his ankle just as bad that game.

Tatum needs to man the hell up. Go and watch some Larry Bird tape and look at what a superstar should do.

[Riverwalk2021]

Tatum shouldn’t have been playing after it was clear he was liability after the ankle tweak. He didnt have it and couldn’t jump and made zero effort on defense. It was sad. The coach should have not played him in the 4th and we win by 10. Also, when it was clear Al was getting cooked in screen action, the should have just blitzed Curry instead of letting him cook us over and over.

Our coach is a math nerd with social anxiety.

[Mr_Mojo_Risin]

Wiggins and Thompson were in good form against Portland.

This game is unlikely to be easy.

Portland has the 2nd worst offense in the league. The W's have been garbage this year, and they've only beaten 1 team with a winning record in their last 20 games. This should be an easy win.

Draymond is the guy that gave them all the trouble. Boston should run rampant on offense.

Hey bisme, where is the poll option blaming Green89 and 165bows for the loss?

C'mon Green and Bows, fess up, the real issue is voodoo vibe cursing from your posts, not the Warriors living rent free in JT's head or a distinct lack of aggressiveness outside JB, White and Queta. It's not that Sam's % hugely decreases away from TD.

Next time guys, no cursing ok?
