Game Thread – Celtics @ Warriors – 5:00PM, Mon, Jan. 20, 2025

[Froob]

Steph deserves better than this dog water Warriors team in his waning years

Counterpoint: **** the warriors

[redslastlaugh]

11/17 from 2PT area tonight, 64.7%
Love to see that level of efficiency

[zoyathedestroya]

JB takes some horrendous shots

JB and JT. Not much has changed in terms of shot selection from 4 or 5 years ago. Just better teammates to pass to and more willingness to pass. But shots are pretty much the same.

JT would be awesome with Magic Johnson running hook driving from the left wing …

[playa-hater]

I have no idea what the stats say but it seems to me we give up more offensive rebounds when we play double big then a typical lineup.

[PierceFan4ever]

Tired of JT chucking so many threes when he’s not even good at it

[bucknersrevenge]

Tell me, why can't Tatum direct traffic and run offense at the nail more? Is there any reason?

[redslastlaugh]

Halftime stats:

7/24 from 3PT for 29%
15/22 from 2PT for 68%

I love the 2PT efficiency

Gets the ball in the post, scores a fadeaway, gets the ball in the post finds Horford for three. Then decides he’s done enough post up and nearly shatters the backboard taking a three. I don’t know if it’s lazy effort or what but he needs to chill on the 3 point shots especially when he’s cold, no wonder his field goal percentage overall is down from prior years.

[zoyathedestroya]

Watch as this lead disappear in the 3rd. POSITIVITY!!

[Shak_Celts]

Solid half, do it again!

There is one and only one possibility. It's coaching or the lack thereof. I doubt very much if a Coach told Tatum to do that he would say no I don't want to..

Three coaches. It’s the player (and his trainer).

Not to beat this horse to death, but JT can’t reasonably attempt a 3 from the nail. I don’t think it’s anymore complicated than that

So what you are saying is Boston needs to shoot more threes

[Shak_Celts]

Month over month we're taking less threes, surprise surprise we are losing in the same trend.

[redslastlaugh]

I’d love a big 2nd half from DWhite, like 15pts, 5reb, 5assist in this half. He’s so due to breakout

[bucknersrevenge]

There we go. Go inside first. Then the 3's will come.

[Fierce1]

Size matters.

This is how it's going to be in the playoffs.

The shooting % goes down and the pace of the game slows down.

[Shak_Celts]

win this and go from there
