This feels no different than 2018 when that scrappy team lost to LeBron in ECF. The same problems are still present.

I will not accept any Timelord slander at all this offseason. Even on like one leg he's been beasting for us these playoffs and also this series

best player in the series for us.  hands down

[PAOBoston]

Feels like they have run out of gas. If Tatum continues to be a total zero/no factor then I’m not sure why he’s on the floor

[Boston Garden Leprechaun]

Stupid choking losers.

look mentally broken

[BringToughnessBack]

God we stopping them in D and cannot get anything on offense. We are running out of time- someone needs to go unstoppable now.

[RockinRyA]

Our defense is actually playing well and could hold GSW to less than 100 but our offense is GARBAGE

True.

Just let Horford and Jaylen shoot the rest of the game, period.

[gouki88]

Those are strange plays where Draymond is wide open but afraid to shoot, passes it to the nearest shooter, then sets a pick since his man is still nowhere to be seen to generate a good look for his teammate who is a better shooter.

I mean ... it works.

We gain very little from cheating off Draymond like this. Allows him to see the floor and playmake relaxed

I'm paying in the currency of my sanity, and I'm nearly out.

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.

what we expect tatum to do is what curry is doing against our D designed to stop him. move without the ball. create space for your shot. be aggressive and offensively minded. be the alpha. unlike curry, he also has length to leverage to his advantage.

if you want to be the man, you gotta deliver the goods.

I’m not sure if you are watching, but Steph Curry has a complete offense designed for him to get open at a very high clip.

Tatum is an iso player, but there is no comparison for the way they are schemed in the offense. It’s like comparing a high school offense to an NBA offense.

the comparison is offensive option #1 for both players. tatum being an iso player is his problem. when he moves without the ball, he gets easy shots, and so do his teammates. that’s how the c’s offense is designed to work as a motion offense. too often, tatum’s penchant for iso is what stagnates his own game, as well as the entire offense. jb does this at times, too. 

like i said, “you want to be the man, you gotta deliver the goods.” as option #1, you don’t just let the other team take you out of your game consistently.

I hate to break it to you, but Curry didn’t win Championships until he got into the right system. In fact, they had the greatest choke job in history in the WCF if you don’t remember. In fact, they became one of the best teams in NBA history with the right scheme.

BEEN Sayin

[jpotter33]

Ime and the bench lost this game for us. The fact that ime let the bench lienups go as long as they did just is maddening. No idea what he was thinking with that.

And then the fact that he tried doing the same thing and benched Tatum to start the fourth, allowing them to stall the run. Idiotic.

Lots to improve upon this offseason.

[SparzWizard]

Smart just exposed this series at both ends. He needs to be the 6th man of this team next season

Lol wait you still expecting him here next season

[CelticSooner]

He's got too much pride for that. Gotta be traded if he isn't the starter.
