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

[kraidstar]

God, I hate this team. Can't even secure the rebound when playing good D. Just completely fold every time down the stretch.

Yeah, they're a joke. We've seen this script play out way too many times now. They don't have the mental toughness needed to get over the hump. This should have been a blowout but we encountered a Man tonight and the boys panicked. It's ugly to watch.

The Celtics are great at home, but somehow blow on the road.

[PAOBoston]

Blew an 11 pt 4th quarter lead. Can’t stress how much loser’s DNA this team has. Golden State is their daddy.

[celticinorlando]

Oh look…another close game lost

[blink]

Can’t help but feel some things watching Curry shine in big moments over and over against us.  Our guys can’t do that, and it really makes me question the ceiling of this team come playoff time.

it is all mental leftovers from us letting them clock us in the finals in 2022.
we have a mental block against this team.  Tatum turtles like a schoolboy.

[Who]

The mental difference in the two teams was interesting tonight. BOS played like a beaten team who didn't believe they were as good as GSW. GSW played like team that knows it owns BOS and will somehow find a way to beat them no matter what BOS does.

That Championship series hangover on display.

I would have liked to have seen more mental fortitude tonight by our guys against a team that defeated them in the Finals. Just too weak. Mentally weak.

I want someone to break Curry's jaw every time he does one of his cocky taunts.  Put him to sleep when he does that sleeping motion.  So theatrical and disrespectful.

He’s just getting Jaylen back for giving him the “way too small” taunt  when he picked up his 5th in the 3rd…I said at the time it would backfire on us and it did

No, No, Curry was doing that in the Finals two years ago.
The guy really has turned into an unlikeable whiny little punk.

[HankYee]

Choked again.
Same pattern.

[tenn_smoothie]

Dumb, Dumb basketball lost this game.
No other reason.

[celticinorlando]

Steph Curry picked up his fifth foul with 6:07 to play in 3rd.

Played the final 17 minutes without Celtics fouling him out.

absolutely, arrogant pansey

[scaryjerry]

Jayson Tatum is a fraud. This team will win nothing with him as the “leader”. Worst 20-5 team I can remember, they’re as mentally weak and soft as they’ve ever been

[Mahk E Mahk]

been saying it for years: the C’s never win a chip with the Jays. they’re mentally soft, have no killer instinct, and possess the lowest bbiq i’ve ever witnessed by so called stars. we’re six years in and absolutely nothing has changed.

[libermaniac]

Steph curry is the most classless jerk in the game. I despise him.

[angryguy77]

Now the moron calls a to.

I.cant.stand.this.moron.coach

He really is the worst. By far the most talent in the league, and we still fold down the stretch when it gets tight because he's too futile to take his dang hands out of his pockets and do his job.

I mean how do you not have a play ready to go in that situation?

We.all knew what was going to happen.

I'm so.over this..

This guy on the pistons would manage more losses for them.
