Horford but Brown started the party


Warriors should be down on themselves

Why?

Celtics haven't lost 2 games in a row in 5 months. To win this series, GSW has to win 2 in a row at some point now.
How confident are you in this trend holding up for game 5 family :jbhmm:

A lot of folks singling out Draymond, but he made a number of momentum-changing plays on defense, and that's taking its toll on him where he's not as effective on offense as he once was. Ain't no doubt he needs to play better, but he's an undersized big with a lot of mileage on his body, and missed a good portion of the season because his body is breaking down. That's not an excuse for his play, it's just to provide some perspective on what state he's in.

Breh they were open 3's.

Steph's shots were better contested, he just hit them.
Open is different when the defence has to collapse and when they don’t. It’s the whole concept behind why zone defences can be disruptive. They give up open shots but the ball doesn’t touch the paint, so the D don’t collapse, which impacts the rhythm of the shooter. GSW stopped collapsing and Boston wasn’t able to draw fouls, score at the rim or get good shots off kick outs.

Tatum has never been a good midrange scorer. His fg% from 10-16 feet has gotten worse every year of his career and is 38.2% for his career. His 16-3P% has been up and down and is 39.7% for his career.
I'm not defending him as a midrange shooter, I was just replying to him "going away" from his midrange jumper when he did go to it tonight and it failed miserably.

Steph already has a legacy game on his resume before the finals started. How do people keep forgetting Chef Curry's 37-point performance in the 2015 NBA finals in Game 5 when he scored 17 points in the 4th quarter versus the Cavs? :what:

I swear people need to stop with the hot take and actually watch the damn game.

It’s not us man, it’s the media spouting that for the past couple of weeks. Not a lot of people remember that Cavs game to be honest but people for sure will remember this one as this performance was against an elite defense.

Gonna be interesting to see what Boston does on defense Monday. The plan worked but they got smoked on the boards despite Ws going small and that was the difference

Tatum had to look in the mirror. He left Wiggins dominate the glass.
