Warriors (23-0) at Celtics (13-9) Game # 23 12/11/15

We may have just won the game for the Bucks

Bucks can't score. GS's B game should be enough to make it 25 straight.

It's going to be tough for them tomorrow. They gave it everything to win

Bucks played tonight as well.

Is it just me, or is this maybe the best any team has defended against Curry this year?

He had 38 points, but it took him two overtimes and he shot 9-27 (33%) to get there.

Yes, and if Smart was healthy, they would have defended Curry even better. On the other hand though, no Klay Thompson meant they could focus their D more on Curry.

I've been pacing for the last 45 min so I don't know what people have been saying about end of game/end of 1st OT.  Am I the only one that was screaming "call a TO!!!" in both of those situations with tie game and time for last shot???

Uhhh, not at all. I was SCREAMING it. This one is on Brad, no question. We have no PP, Lebron, or Curry, so we HAVE to set up a play there. Otherwise, you get those two crappy possessions with IT forcing crap.

I totally agree about the coaching, pretty inexcusable, but overall you sort of have to be proud of what these guys just did, right?

Oh, I definitely am, especially without Smart. However, that is a pet-peeve of mine (along with stupid rotations) that I've always been critical of Brad over. He should realize that we don't have the personnel to run that type of freelance in that situation.

The C's matchup better with GS than just about any team in the league. Especially if Smart was out there bulldogging it. Bradley fouled out late as well.

[blink]

Two other really, really positive notes imo, Kelly Olynyk and James Young are both really turning the corner lately, albeit at different stages of their respective development.

Yeah I was so impressed with KO tonight.  He was taking the tough shots and being aggressive.  Basically doing what all of us have been screaming for him to do since he got here.  Fantastic game by him.  Young is slowly coming around too.  We have a lot of great young players.  It just wasn't enough tonight against the best team in the nba.

Smart is great but ET defended him better than any player I have seen, he didn't make one bucket with ET on him tonight! Not one!

Alright well I take it back then. I hope the Dubs do win I'm rooting for them to win every game at this point... well other than the next time we play them

I am a Stevens fan, but I agree as well.  We are a young team that doesn't have a go to guy.  We need to have the advantage of surprise, and a well executed out of time out play.  I don't know what Brad was thinking.  I mean give us the best chance possible right?

And what makes it worse is Brad has been excellent at drawing up those exact types of plays, too. That was just two absolute missteps by him.

[D Dub]

This game just shows that we are really just one go-to guy away from being really, really good.

We have the system, the mentality, the defense. We just need that talent who can close games when we need it. Isaiah can be that dude, but sometimes his lack of size makes it too hard for him to be that guy.

Great game. I'm back to rooting for the Warriors again tomorrow.

Nah, a team like Philly (for example) is much further along with their rebuild.

We haven't really seen Smart on him either. I think Smart would have given him a ton of troubles, because Steph beats you with craftiness that Smart is usually smart enough not to buy.

Smart drove Westbrook nuts in their battle, I think he could give Curry a heck of a fight.

Ah, I thought he was close. I didn't know he ended up actually getting it, though.

WEEI box score says he got 27-11-8-5-5. May or may not be accurate, though.
