Celtics (20-5) at Warriors (12-14) Game #26 12/19/23

[SparzWizard]

and the JB drive draws the 4th foul on Curry
that is why we need to keep attacking

Curry's the only one in foul trouble with 4. Everyone else is 1. Wow.

Klay Thompson looks like a shell of his former self. Only 2 points tonight.

EDIT: Wrong statline 

[SCeltic34]

JB is eating Golden State alive.

[CelticSooner]

JB taking it right at Curry 

[Silas]

JB abusing Curry.

[jpotter33]

Oh wow, get him JB! Super smart play there to go after him with the foul trouble.

[ozgod]

Jaylen sonning Steph… but I would refrain from taunting him with too little taunts…you don’t want to make Steph mad and start hitting crazy shots

[Atzar]

Can’t ask for more from JB right now.  Putting a ton of pressure on GS’s transition defense and attacking Curry relentlessly.  Kerr is a dumbass for exposing his best player like this too.

omg stop jacking 3s...holy crap

Every shot was a great look in the flow of the offense.

Yeah, not complaining about those. We just suck shooting the ball tonight haha Horford in particular looks like Druski shooting out there.

so if we are shooting 28% from 3, we should just keep shooting them if we are open?  how many of those makes at 28% does require to over-ride better looks in the lane?

Not necessarily. But the ones Al missed were WIDE open with nobody within 15 feet or so. For a shooter like Al, I think you have to take those every time and just play the percentages. It's the other ones that are just open/semi-contested or earlier in the shot clock that I think you have to reconsider.

ok, ok, I will give Al his wide open 3's, I just get tired of us having something that obviously works, but we keep shooting 3s when we are shooting 28%

I guess the logic is that every shot is its own discrete probability unrelated to what happened before. Just sucks as a fan when you see them bricking stuff all the time and keep doing it

did JB do the 'too small' thing to Curry?  ah man I hope not...just let your play do your talking

[SCeltic34]

Great minutes Queta!

[Silas]

I get it, I mean math / statistics...

but the actual game has guys getting hot and getting not hot.  the basketball gods tend to reward the attacking

[blink]

I really like Q.

me too!!!

[jpotter33]

Queta! But another bad three by Tatum.

[Silas]

Joe, stop the bleeding.
