Warriors (6-1) at Celtics (7-1) Game #9 11/6/24

[bello_man09]

Warriors might be a threat to the NBA Finals AGAIN. UGH. And I thought the Lakers ended their dynasty in 2023.

they are not getting there. but they will be  a tough out. their main core too old.

[SparzWizard]

Onto Brooklyn. I can't wait until Boston is whole.

Don't like using injuries as an excuse when the path of last year's playoffs involved plenty of injuries favoring us.

The C's could have taken care of the Warriors without Brown and Porzingis tonight at the Garden. Didn't have to let Looney and Kuminga have Michael Jordan nights.

Tatum sure did teach that big bad Kerr a lesson

lol What a nonsensical take. It?s like you don?t even watch the games and just stick to a narrative regardless of what actually happens.

What?s nonsensical about it?
Tatum had a decent game but the narrative since the beginning of the season was he was gonna ?own? Steve Kerr and teach him a lesson didn?t really happen now did it

You and the hot take media are the ones talking about it, not Tatum. In fact Tatum has done nothing but downplay that narrative, so how exactly that?s a point in your non-sensical argument?s favor is beyond me.

Of course Tatum has downplayed it, because he?s a great player who always says the right things?if you think this game didn?t mean something extra to him I don?t know what to tell you.
I also can?t stand people saying this loss ?isn?t on him?
It isn?t on our best player? Ok. He had a very impressive second half but his it can be argued his crappy first half is what lose us this game. Steve Kerr defensive game plan against specifically Tatum worked very well in the first half and basically had him in shambles?check mate Kerr.

JFC...I just can't with you this season.

This was a matter of bad strategy and bad on-court awareness. In no world should our bigs be purposely switching onto Steph curry. And multiple times our guys sprinted to close out trash bag Draymond Green at the 3 point line and gave up buckets getting out of position. The dude had multiple air balls and we closing out on him like hes Klay Thompson, gotta know the personnel at that point and dare him to make that shot

Heh. At least the Warriors can help knock out the Lakers and Suns in the West and give a team like OKC some fits

Now Tatum looked like a joke. Playing them at Golden State is no easy task either

Of all the things Boston did wrong tonight you  focus on Tatum who has 32 on 10 of 19 shooting?

Tatum was good tonight?I couldn?t stand the stupid narrative that?s been lingering since the end of the Olympics that Tatum was gonna dominate the warriors and Kerr tonight

They didn't lose tonight because of Tatum.

Did Tatum dominate the warriors and make Kerr tuck his tail back to golden state? That was the homer narrative since the end of the Olympics.
Nope, Celtics started terribly largely because of Kerr defensive game plan on Tatum to start the game?Tatum had a really good second half but it wasn?t enough to stop Steph from being our daddy

Can't you at least wait until January before bagging on the Cs and Tatum? At least we don't have to hear about how great the Bucks are this year so that is a plus.

You people just can?t take any criticism or you cry. It?s literally painful.
THE CELTICS ARE BY FAR AND AWAY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE. Jayson Tatum is finally a legit mvp candidate.
They were very competitive while short handed and played good in spurts tonight against a good team. Kerr won this battle. Tatum didn?t teach him a lesson or make him regret not getting more minutes in the Olympics. Deal with it.

8 games into the season and you are already looking for a local bridge. The Warriors are 7-1. They have been playing good hoops. The Cs were one terrible review away from winning without over 50 points missing from their line up.

bronny james on the floor for the lakers...memphis beating them.

Yep, let alone putting double bigs out there unnecessarily gifting them the mismatches.

Weeeee JT for three! He owned Kerr! What a joke for not playing him in the Olympics!

I don?t get what your problem is. You crumble is I have any critique whatsoever for this team, my standard for them is they are easily the best team in the league and even while short handed should?ve won this game tonight. This game meant a lot to them. They lost. Sorry for pointing that out.

Oh please. If you want to criticize the turnovers, poor defense on Curry then I am all in with you.
But you haven't mentioned any of that. Just Tatum. Anyway man....you have a great rest of your night.

Naw, just non-sensical First Take-esque criticism based on hot takes and media narratives.

I mean it?s quite obvious the defense on curry lost us this game.
The whole narrative for months leading up to this game was Tatum vs Kerr and if you think it didn?t mean anything to Tatum and the rest of the team I really don?t know what to tell you. Kerr won this battle. I complimented Tatum all second half and even now saying he had a good game, just didn?t quite go as planned considering Kerrs game plan helped win them the game they had no business winning because yet again the Celtics are the best team in the league with a legit mvp candidate.

It?s all I?ve heard from Celtics fans since the end of the Olympics how Tatum was going to go off on Kerr and the warriors and absolutely demolish them?hard not to mention that it didn?t quite happen that way

[Adelaide Celt]

Imagine posting this in game 1 of a historically dominant championship winning season:

This team blows, shocker

I know what game it is More of the same of the last 3 seasons. They blow.

Who wrote it I wonder?
