11/16 - NBA on TNT | Thursday Game Thread

[Curry 2 KD]

I honestly am torn between who I want to win tonight.

Obviously im a warriors fan, but we have nothing to prove if we win or lose this game.

If the Celtics win, it will further fuel the narrative that they have overtaken the Cavs as the team to beat in the east, and I really like what they have done since that devestating Hayward injury. I like how they have rallied together. I dont view them as a threat to the Warriors, but I view them as a huge threat to the stability of the eastern conference and LeBrons legacy.

Heres to a great game for both teams, will be must see TV for sure.

P.S. The Celtics ALWAYS play us tough. They broke our 50+ game home win streak during the 73 win season.

So your Warriors fandom is equivalent to your Cavs hatred?

Im still angry we didnt sweep them in last years finals.

After 2016 blown 3-1 lead, the only thing that can truly make me happy is watching LeBron decline, the Cavs completely implode as a franchise, and sweeping them in this years finals in blowout fashion.

Once all that happens, ill be fully recovered from choking that 3-1 lead.

To quote Draymond, "im ***ing mad we didnt sweep them"

would be embarrassing if the warrriors don't win this by 20. i wouldn't bet much on it though, chances are silver called kerr to keep this one close for obvious reasons.

Come on, the #2 team in the league winning (or losing) by fewer than 20 points, on the road, to the #1 team in the league would be "embarrassing"? That's ridiculous. The Warriors are good, they're not that good.

[PhilBlackson]

So no one else is amped to see how TJ Warren and the Suns do?!

[Shady Franchise]

Only one good game tonight. I hope Boston wins.

50% of the games tonight are expected to be good!

[Shady Franchise]

Warriors win in blowout fashion

Show the NBA and Celtics who runs the league

Everyone then realizes no one is ever beating the warriors

And with that said big bet on Warriors -7 for me

They've won their last 7 games by double digits! Curry is back. I took the GS spread too.

Fixed it.

[Catchall]

My normal take would be that the Celtics don't have nearly enough offense to keep up with the Warriors. Should be an easy win for the Ws.

[CeltsFlow]

Holy **** imagine the boards if the Celtics win tonight

Not hard to imagine:

Celtics fan 1: "I **** called Kyrie being the GOAT in 1980 you guys are all retards"

Celtics fan 2: "Why are we so underrated? When is Boston ever going to get some love?"

Celtics fan 3: "Hur Hur Hur you peons proven wrong again. Boston fans are clearly the most intelligent on earth"

want some eggs with that salt?

[Hindenburg]

I think Celtics will put up a good fight, will lead in the first half. Warriors wake up in the 3rd and blow them out. 4th quarter is mostly garbage time.

Golden State Warriors or the Ultimate Warrior, it doesn’t matter. Celtics by 6.

If the Celtics win im not going to be upset. Let them continue their streak, they deserve it.

I have no animosity towards them. If this was vs the Cavs however, I would be pissed if we didnt win.

[Mylie10]

Sorry Dub fans.....I think the Celtics win it tonight, something like 117-112. I see turnovers or some crappy calls doing us in tonight. Maybe some Draymond bias feeding the bad calls.

[Curry 2 KD]

The issue with the Celtics is they routinely go through 3-5 minute "scoring droughts' where they just cannot generate offense.

If they go through those droughs, the Warriors can catch fire and absolutely blow them out within a few minutes.

And this is where we really miss Hayward... as I imagine the plan was to stagger one of him/Kyrie in the 2nd units for this very reason.

I think the goal through the season is for stevens to find lineups that can eliminate the scoring droughts. Those droughs are going to be killer and teams with elite talent like LeBron or KD, can score no matter what kind of defense is played against them and will start to crush the Celtics when those droughts happen.

Once Stevens solves that scoring issue, they can for sure become a contender.

The warriors go through droughts sometime as well, and thats when everyone just gives the ball to KD and gets out of his way and he scores on like 4-5 posessions in a row, after that the team starts clicking on offense again.
