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

Wonder if they try some small ball with Grant at the 5. The drop coverage is killing them.

[slamtheking]

thing that mystifies me is GSW has no real rim protectors but they're stuffing us on drives when bigger teams haven't been able to stop us

[celticinorlando]

Maybe guard Thompson at some point

[SCeltic34]

Ugh.  This drop coverage.  Griffin has to step up at least a little bit and contest Klay's shot.

[blink]

Blake!

[jpotter33]

Atta boy, Griffin!

[Atzar]

Simple screen to get Jaylen open is a much better option Tatum should do the same instead of shooting with people in his face

Something about GS pushes Tatum into some of his old bad habits.  Lots of iso, not enough off-ball movement, taking too long to make decisions with the ball in his hands.  He's even making uncharacteristic mistakes on defense tonight.

It's not even a results thing - just missing shots or whatever.  He just isn't playing the same way that has made him an MVP front-runner.

Tatum trying too hard to get himself going

Attack the basket and try and draw some fouls

[celticinorlando]

Tatum killing Boston tonight. He just shrinks vs GS

[jpotter33]

Joe is absolutley killing me with this drop coverage. It killed us in the Finals, and it's killing us now. And we're WAYYYYY down on every single PnR. Makes no sense.

This time its personnel. IMHO its better to just play Grant at C so we can switch. Blake and Luke can only play drop

Yeah, certainly no more Luke. Not a game for him. Unfortunate that both Horford is out and Timelord still isn't ready.

[CelticSooner]

Why do the C’s play like they are racing to 100 against this team?

[slamtheking]

that looked like bogus call on Brogdon

[blink]

Our dumb play on def makes Thompson seem like all world.  He isn’t.

[celticinorlando]

Same garbage as the finals. Boston won’t beat GS in series. It’s mental

[CelticSooner]

C’s do not know how to defend this team.
