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

I don't know how GS fans deal with all these reckless turnovers by the team. That'd be so frustrating.

[Atzar]

Jeez, Hauser is having a rough night.

[Silas]

Rough night from Sam is really hurting us.

[SCeltic34]

If Hauser shoots like he normally does, this game is over.  Most of our 3's are wide open.  Golden State is just lucky we're off.  We'd be killing them if we shoot at our average.

The guys will have to dig deep to stop this GS run

[blink]

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 

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

Interestingly, there's quite a few behavioral economists that argue that "getting hot" in sports - particularly basketball - is a myth and is all easily explained by variation and statistics.

Clearly, they didn't play basketball growing up, or at least ever get on a hot streak. There's something tangible that you can "feel" when you're hot, where you can know that the ball is going in as soon as it leaves your hands.

yeah like for example, Hauser does not look hot tonight, he is rushing his shot almost every time.   

[PAOBoston]

Kept them in the game. Curry probably takes their soul in the next few minutes.

Yeah, notice that rushing. Odd, shooting too slow is usually his sole problem

[blink]

cmon fellas, gotta rebound the def glass

[blink]

good hard drive by JT there

[jpotter33]

Just make the dang sidelines wider. Makes no sense why there's so little room over there leading to so many out of bounds calls.

DERRICK WHITE

[ozgod]

Big 3 from White after Steph was starting to cook us

[SCeltic34]

Huge shot DWhite!
