Warriors (34-14) at Celtics (30-18) GAme #49 1/26/19

Rozier and Hayward combined for 4 points. Pathetic.

Call a timeout Brad!!

Once again, Brad kills us with his dumb arse decision-making. Have a timeout there on the inbounds play, but you fly by the seat of your pants and let a broken play and chucked three get taken. Effing ridiculous.

So done with him.

A TO was definitely needed.  Our offense was sputtering down the stretch.  Stagnant, tentative, lots of players standing around.  Brad could have worked his ATO magic.

Yep. It was literally the third chance to score that possession. Pretty clear that we could've used a set play there. But noooppppee, similar to his other in-game decision-making troubles, Brad just can't figure this part out. So frustrating, and it's lost us countless games.

He is WAY too reliant on the players to "figure things out," especially with having this many youngsters. Quite simply, he's not doing his job.

Leta all personally thank Kyrie for giving this away in the fourth with his carelessness

Riiiiight, it wasn't Morris shooting 3-12, or Smart shooting 4-12, or Rozier only scoring 2, or Hayward only scoring 2, or our inability to box out a freaking free throw, it was Kyrie's turnovers alone. Give me a break

Smart loses the game with failure to box out

amazing

"You guys are all blind here"

That was Tatum's responsibility as the third guy in the lane. Smart was out past the three point line and, thus, not his responsibility 

It's actually 1 of the 2 outside the 3pt line who's responsibility is to block out shooter. The other usually stays back for the home run pass, but in that situation both shouldve crashed I guess

I'm pretty sure we only had 2 points total from our bench players in the entire 2nd half - Rozier's putback layup.  Can't expect to win like that.

Looney played like a 30 million man than Hayward tonight..thats for sure.

Looney really gave them a boost.

Celts need to rebound better.

It was Smarts. Lol. You just can never blame him can you?

You must be Smart's biggest fan on here by far? Am I right?

In what world is it the job of the guy on the perimeter to box out the guy shooting the free throw, who is literally FIVE FEET IN FRONT OF HIM? That is nonsense. That's clearly Tatum's job.

Hopefully this loss will convince Ainge to make a move.

This Celts team still needs an upgrade IMO.
They're just too dependent on the 3-point shot and they're not a good rebounding team.

yeah, too dependent on 3 pointers. i wish they were more like the world champion warriors and didnt shoot so many of them. 

[Vox_Populi]

16 points from the Brown, Hayward, Rozier and Baynes on 5-19 shooting. And Brown had 3 of those field goals. Warriors bench, aka Livingston and Iguodala, scored 16 themselves.

These guys are good. What the heck is that?

[LarBrd33]

our 2nd best player went 0-5 tonight and we still only lost to a 5 All-NBA player team by 4 points.

[gouki88]

Still have no idea why Brad didn't put in Baynes or Theis (or both) for that free throw. Ugh

[jpotter33]

Leta all personally thank Kyrie for giving this away in the fourth with his carelessness

Yep. [dang] you Kyrie and your.... 32 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. Clearly lost the game for us.

This is a good dose of optimism, but man I wanted that win

[Fierce1]

As well as this Celts team played tonight, I still think they need an upgrade.

Celts need to rebound better and they must not be too dependent on the 3-point shot.

At the end of the game tonight, Celts lived by the 3 and died by the 3.

[celticinorlando]

I just don't know what to say about Hayward anymore. He contributes nothing on offense. He is timid and looks like he doesn't want to be out there. It is a shame he is getting 30 million a year. That money could be used elsewhere.
