I think we are getting better looks than them so far, we just aren’t hitting them lol.

I don't mind this pace and score. Keep it low. Keep em in the half court.

Can we please make some threes though. Ime needs to set up something for Tatum where he gets the ball back after he gives it up.

White really needs to find his 3 ball, dreadful shooting since he got here

Wtf White. Not impactful at all on the court for a lot of these games. Starting to get worried about team’s doubling Tatum and daring others to beat us. It worked for the mavs and we should be up way more on the warriors if guys can make their open shot. Need JB to be JB and need White to be the Spurs version and Grant needs to go back to knocking down threes. Timelord, Smart, and Horford are doing their job fine

holding this warriors team to 17 in a quarter. nice job

I love that the announcers can call out Boston as the 1st defensive rated team then 22 seconds later say GSW had an “uncharacteristic” low scoring quarter.

Our defense held strong there, making up for our pretty ass offense.

They really should think twice about doubling Curry, especially with Draymond on the court. Draymond will ALWAYS find the open guy. We talk about 0.5-second guys, well, he's a 0.1-second guy. He will punish us.

I’m whatever about White missing shots, but his defense has been lackluster so far.

We're 3-11 from 3 and they're 3-15

The first team to start hitting their 3s will win it seems.

In order to make that not the case we need to find some way to get points when Tatum is out of the game, I don't like that bet for us and our shooting talent. Great defense for sure though in the first.

White not shooting it with confidence. Love what he brings but we need him to be average from 3, he's been getting wide open looks

we didn't get him for his shooting.

he should regress to the mean eventually though. shot 34% from 3 the previous 2.5 seasons before getting here. shooting 24% from 3 so far in boston on tiny sample size - only a matter of time till he raises it back up to the 34% range. NBA league average this season is 35%. white will be fine.

Ill News · Post #115 » by **Ill News** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:38 am

While I like the looks from three that we're getting, and their ball movement should be applauded, they really should start hitting them soon. An avalanche of misses will affect them mentally. I don't want another 4-42 shooting game :lol:

GotDaSauce · Post #116 » by **GotDaSauce** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:38 am

Theis comes in and refs cant wait 10 seconds to call a foul on him! Lmao

HOLY **** HE'S PLAYING THEIS

Ime said he would but I just assumed it was coach speak.

Okay Theis pick and seal with Tatum please let's generate easy offense

BleedGreen1989 · Post #119 » by **BleedGreen1989** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:39 am

Yeah. Again I ask, how much better is Derrick White than Josh Richardson?

Jaqua92 · Post #120 » by **Jaqua92** » Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:39 am

Too little shots for Tatum so far.

Teams are locking in to our offense. I hate to say this, but I think our roster is being exposed. Tatum seems to be having a tougher time playmaking.

We just need more consistent shooting threats.
