Celtics (21-5) at Warriors (13-13) Game #27 12/10/22

[johnnygreen]

This team has some serious daddy issues, when it comes to Golden State, Chicago, and Cleveland.

[Atzar]

I hope Al and Rob are the answers we need against GS but I really don't think they are.  Either JT is going to learn how to attack them or they are going to continue to be the monster under our bed. 

Disappointing loss.  Doesn't look like we learned a thing after that June series.  That said, bring me GS again.  Wish we could play them 30 games in a row.  There's no way around.  Only through.

Apparently GWill had been ejected for punching thr ball into the stands. Apparently he didn’t know the rules

For a guy who often gets praised for his intelligence, he does an awful lot of dumb things on the court.

[SCeltic34]

We're going to smash GS in Boston.  Book it.

Safe to say we have enough evidence to conclude tatum is a frontrunner.  He has the talent to be what we thought he is, but he is not there yet.

Disagree a 24-year old that took us to the finals last year.

24 yo that has been to how many conference championships....

Age isn't an excuse anymore when a guy has that much playoff experience. He's good player, but he's not the guy.

This is a game in the middle of a long road trip before the holidays as the team has been clearly the best in the league and just thrashed the western conference leading team last game. I would not rush to judgment based on this.

So he's been so successful at 24 that there's no excuse for a bad game in the middle of a long road trip? Got it. We were never going to win them all.

[celticinorlando]

Reality check tonight. Come back Monday vs the clippers.

Players don't overreact to one regular season game. Fans on the other hand.....

This is a massive overreaction tonight... LOL

How many times do we have to see a big game or series and say "If tatum just showed up how he normally does"?

The Warriors are still.plain better and that isn't going to change barring injury.

We just going to ignore that the C’s are missing two starters? 

Pretty sure the warriors are missing a starter as well….it’s no excuse ?

I don’t think most of us are over reacting to losing, we are reacting to the lack of mental focus and effort.  That shouldn’t change at any time.  It isn’t season detailing, but it was a chance to make a point and we just shriveled.  And this was a team issue not just a Tatum issue.

Golden state coming out of the west is Boston’s worst nightmare

I really hope they don't

They’ll be without Curry or or somebody else just watch.

[Silas]

Tough loss, the worse game of the year.  Luckily we play again Tuesday.

They play Monday.

You're right, my bad.

[Yuckabuck33]

And Tatum couldn't wait to go joke around with his buddy Draymond. No heart. Not a winner. Everything he said about the Finals loss motivating him was bull.

No. He still looks as bad as he did in the finals vs this team. It’s a pattern.

Yeah, I mean, we completely folded tonight, but we are missing 40% of our starting lineup, particularly bigs that have a better chance of containing the PnR without the extreme droppage. Also, GS is a much different team at home than away.

We'll blow them out in Boston. But JT still is going to have to figure out his issues with GS, because it's got worrisome.

He didn't slide his foot under a jump shooter otherwise known as the Golden State rule!
