Warriors (28-28) at Celtics (30-26) Game #57 4/17/21

[LilRip]

They’re shootings 60% were shooting 48%

They’re shooting 47% from 3 were shooting 31%

We’re only down by 6. I will take that any day. We’re in great shape for the 2nd half. Some great plays from Kemba in the last couple of mins after playing abysmally before that and JT has carried us

JT with 23 on 75% shooting. One of those misses was a missed call by the refs too. Tatum carrying the team in that 1st half. Let’s hope the Kemba in the last 2 min of the 1st half shows up for the 2nd half

What a shot by Tatum! Put up another 50 game!

I didn't see that Kemba was abysmal before the last two minutes. Yes, Golden State forced the matchup of Kemba on a much bigger player and so gave up easy baskets, but that's not on Kemba. That's on the guy's playing behind him to make that defensive switch off ball faster to move Kemba out of the mismatch.

If Boston had kept doing the same thing on Curry after his two early fouls, this might have been a very different first half. But Kerr made an adjustment to move Curry onto bad offensive players to hide him and Brad didn't force the switch so that Curry had to play defense.

it is really nice to have two guys on our team under 25 years old that can drop 40.
but when one of them is out, other guys really got to step up and make shots.
Lucky it seems like we might get 45-50 tonight from Tatum.

More shots for Pritchard that shot from just inside the logo was sick!!!!

[hpantazo]

Kemba with a great job on D in the first half.

[Silas]

Play more Jabbari and less to no Williams.

Yeah, why did they go away from going after Curry. It was working so well.

Kemba with a great job on D in the first half.

Two more charges drawn. He is racking those up, sacrificing his body in the process.

he's always been near the top of the league in charges drawn.

[Silas]

More Kemba

[Ogaju]

Ball movement!

[ozgod]

Little bit of over dribbling with the passing but it worked out in the end

[LilRip]

Great ball movement!

[slamtheking]

thankfully Kemba's still got his shot going.  we're going to really need it.

Walker is on FIRE
