Warriors (3-2) at Celtics (2-3) Finals Game #6 6/16/22

[jpotter33]

Tatum has 11 points in an elimination game at home but let's keep trashing an old Horford though. Tired of seeing people make excuses for the J's for fear of them bolting.

What do you expect Tatum to do - shoot over the double teams? He's got 13 shots thus far with 6 assists. The rest of the team isn't stepping up per usual. They're taking Tatum out of the offense, and highlighting why the rest of our offense simply isn't good enough. Al is finally stepping up and actually looking to shoot, but it looks too little too late.

Cannot run it back next season with this team as constructed. Bench has to be upgraded.

I’m shopping brown this off-season

Careful, I got yelled at for saying we may have to trade Brown. Need a better shot creator and ball handler next to Tatum.

[Who]

17pt deficit is hard to come back from. Not impossible; not yet.

[Erik]

Robert Williams needs to be benched... he’s not pulling his weight last few games and we can’t think defensively if we want to come back here. We need shots.

Lineup should be Pritchard, brown, Horford, Tatum smart. Everyone shoots. Post Horford on Curry and abuse that or kick out for a 3. Pritchard is the best option on 3.

Except Pritchard has been a no-show since game 1. He's complete liability right now.

In the offense I’m describing, he’s in the corner ready to shoot. nothing else. He’s our best 3pt shooter statistically.

[Dchuck]

And can someone tell Brown that you are permitted to follow your shot after you shoot it!

Absolute maddening

Yep.  How many times has GS either followed their shot or at least had 2 people crashing.

We just watch the ball

[liam]

Golden State is pretty comfortably 9 or even 10-11 guys deep.

The Celtics are only 7-8.

6

The bench has been a problem since the big 3 left. It’s never addressed.

[CelticSooner]

Tatum has run out of gas. He’s legs are gone. He’s played the most minutes this playoffs coming off the Olympics last summer.

He's not mentally tough enough for this stage. Maybe one day but that's just the truth.

He, Grant and White have completely disappeared the last few games. Makes it impossible when our 6-8 guys in the rotation don't do anything. Onto the next one

Play other guys!!! What harm will it do???

[BringToughnessBack]

Well, we need a famous fourth quarter comeback like that last one we pulled on them in game 1

Exactly. That would be terrible offense and I guarantee he'd be criticized if he did it and he missed a couple of those shots.

I expect him to be a leader and not hang his head every time he misses an easy layup. No more letting Smart dictate this team starting next year in my eyes.

You are 100 percent correct. He doesn’t have the killer instinct in him yet.

not tonight.  5 deep and that's a bit generous.  actually whole series after game 1
