Missed the game because I had to work.  Glad the C's took care of business.  I'm about to watch the replay.

We've looked uninspired for quite a while now, but I still think we're the team to beat in the East.

Wow they actually eviscerated the Warriors AGAIN like last season. This time in front of their fans.

Lovely

I still think Cleveland is, but yeah I'm hoping some of our recent struggles is just us being bored and coasting as opposed to there potentially being real drama or internal struggles/locker room.

D White only took 4 3pt shots today 2/4.  He had been averaging 9 shots a game.  Perhaps he realizes that he needs to cut back until his shooting % gets back to around 40% from his current 36.9%.

Love PP under the basket.

He?s so crafty. 

He doesn't turn it over either, he actually has a 3.3 to 1 assist to TO ratio. And the rebounds.

BBIQ is off the charts, too.

Except when his teammates don't throw him the ball and Mazzulla doesn't call timeout and ask the team why the hell are they not feeding a hot hand in the 4th quarter of a tight game, like maybe against the Atlanta Hawks, just to name one possible opponent ?

Hoping Mazzulla does his back-to-back resting of Porzingis and Horford on the first night vs Clippers.
Beating the Lakers is always good for our psyche.

I'd be fine with that

I have a feeling other starters may sit out a game too. It?s a 3 games in 4 nights thing.

It's actually a 5 games in 7 nights thing too.

Apparently we?re one of the teams that have blown other teams out the most, I think we have 11 wins of 20 pts or more. When we?re good, we?re very good?when we?re not good we lose by 4-6 pts, when we?re bad we lose by 10 or so, but because there?s such a big delta between our being good and being not good/bad it makes those losses more painful.

Then obviously we all compare them to a team that they will never come up against this year - their previous version of themselves from last year.

Still, in a 7 game series I would back us to beat anyone (except maybe Atlanta  ). Winning 4-3 is still winning

I am sick of his pull up 3s...yes their great when they go in but hes missing them a lot..so maybe reduce them and pass a little more.

BOS scored 41.6% of their points in the paint.  This is up from the season average of 35.9% (worst in the league).  Still 48 3PA, 41.7% made.  Only 26.4% from 3 for GSW.

[Phantom255x]

Warriors took 53 3s compared to our 48. GSW also started like 1-16 from 3 to begin the game

We're going inside more than before and attacking which is nice. But it's also nice to see another team actually miss 3s for a change, feels like every game the past month the other team starts like 8-10 from 3 

I do find it ironic though that no one in the media is criticizing GSW for throwing up so many 3s, but if this were the other way around Boston would be getting torched for it and there'd be talks about "changing the rules"
