BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
Seriously though why is this happening to us you guys we are nice?!?
I dunno man. I really don't think the C's had any intention of sucking tonight lol. Warriors defense was that good, especially in the 1st half. I wasn't expecting it and I don't think the guys were either. They blitzed and trapped constantly and the C's couldn't dribble or pass without getting turned over or just having a bad possession. And the whistles were annoying. Very unpleasant!
Fortunately we got it together at halftime, JT and White and Queta etc had big plays, and we gave them a great game... but in the end it wasn't our night. Because of course it wasn't!
Nets Friday, Go C's!

Who cares those losers won't even sniff the finals and will likely lose by 20 in Oakland.

Can’t win em all. Joe needs to show Tatum his defensive low lights in the final 5 minutes of the game. Atrocious

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
The added pressure from making this such a big game put added pressure on both teams.
This was supposed to be another regular season game in November.

Queta 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 blocks, +13 in 28 minutes and also guarding Curry multiple times very well was the lone bright spot tonight.
Tatum and DWhite also played pretty well

True.
Using 12 players in one game is not realistic in the playoffs.
The Warriors are a great regular season team that will not succeed in the playoffs.

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
Al was a massive momentum killer tonight. Got abused on the glass late. JT didn't really help much on the glass all night either and was pretty bad defensively. Feels like those dudes have a mental block against Golden State lol. They are a good team, but the days of fearing them should have been long gone by now

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
Slightly annoyed about how that game went. I guess you have to give Golden State credit. Boston couldn’t really figure out their defense in the first half.
Second half was a little better, but the last five minutes were absolutely atrocious for Boston
Regardless Boston is a better team if they have brown and KP on in uniform

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
Not a loss to lose sleep over. Jaylen plays we win. Bit concerned with Uncle Al defensively, we gave away way too many offensive rebounds, and you cannot afford to do it against a team like the Dubs.
Queta was amazing and worth the price of admission alone !
Off to read the Knicks board for a laugh, everytime they lose its like Chernobyl over there !
Oh and Buffalo better voted into the All Star Game or I am going to boycott watching it.

You want to bet that this scrub team sees the finals? This isn't 2015.

Dude, I’m just gonna say it: Losing to Steph and the Warriors is some PTSD type of bull after the 2022 Finals.

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
Some may say we missed Brown and/or KP. Still have no faith in beating GS either way.
But at least a star was Born.. Queta needs to start every game until KP comes back.

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
Game came down to who would play better in the 4th Quarter:
GOAT Curry or Perpetual MVP Runner Up Tatum?
And you got your answer.
They needed Brown against the Warriors.
Still, a fine performance by Queta, but diminished by some awfulness of Al and Holiday was nigh useless and shaky.
More minutes for Hauser, back to Portland for Walsh, and go with a
Queta - Tatum - Hauser - White - Holiday starting unit. I might also switch out
Holiday for PP, if Jrue continues to offer diminished returns.

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
God I hate losing to these fu*** but it's one loss. Long term, the league is ours. We are gonna have plenty of annoying regular season losses like this. Nothing to lose sleep over.

They killed these guys by a billion points the last time they played them. What are you even talking about?

Re: BUT WHY? Loss vs GSW 11/6
A golden state team with aging curry and green still handling us lol. The fact we need both brown and porzingis to beat this team is embarrassing. Tonight was embarrassing once again. They felt apart in the last 6 minutes of the game as usual against this team.

I like that idea.
Queta needs the time.
He's got to be Coached. not to go for all the bogus stuff.
