the thing i would worry about if i were the dubs is the celtics figuring out which defensive scheme doesnt give up wide open steph threes
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:22 (two years ago) link
i mean the celtics did get hot in the 4th but they also straight cooked the dubs, celtics were getting perfect looks and the dubs were getting none
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:23 (two years ago) link
dubs shooting before the 4th was also hot fwiw
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:24 (two years ago) link
that is true. and tatum was missing absolutely wide open looks. he’s usually hitting 4 or 5 more of those, that’s 10 points right there
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:26 (two years ago) link
yeah if history is any guide hell bounce back next game
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:31 (two years ago) link
pumped to see what the adjustments are from both sides. kerr needs to play the guys 40 minutes and unload the clip. they have 2 days off between games now and this may be their best/last shot at this. wiggins only 35 minutes makes no sense hes been leading the team in minutes all year.
― Spottie, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:44 (two years ago) link
yeah true they need him in there and i almost wrote to be more aggressive but this is wigdawg were talking about hes gonna be himself its just crazy when you see guys who can shoot not hunting threes in this day and age
― lag∞n, Friday, 3 June 2022 17:47 (two years ago) link
celtics shot really well in the 2nd half but i dont think steph is going to get as many open looks again as he did in the 1st either

Tatum and Brown combined for nine of the team’s 12 assists.Celtics on defense—The Warriors scored just 16 points in the period on 7-of-17 shooting from the field as well as 25 percent shooting from 3-point range—Golden State failed to make a free throw attempt for the entire period with Draymond Green missing his only two attempts.—Boston committed just one foul in the entire fourth quarter.—After grabbing 11 offensive rebounds in the first three quarters, the Warriors were limited to just one offensive rebound in the final frame.

a few more bits and pieces i’ve seen- stephen a., at the arena, said that the dubs looked v tired by the end of the 1st. “hands on their hips”. - the refs look like they’re letting them play. colin cowherd says that’s an edge for boston if it continues and it’s hard to disagree- poole will normally get a team’s third or fourth best defender on him. boston’s third or fourth best defender is going to be elite and physical

boston the best at being corporeal

Game 4 vs. the Bucks they had a 4th quarter like that - iirc they only missed 2 shots, hitting 89% or something stupid, which I’m sure was all sorts of records

Maybe the worst draymond playoff game I’ve ever witnessed
― Spottie, Thursday, June 2, 2022 11:26 PM (two days ago) bookmarkflaglink
gotta agree, been consuming recaps and breakdowns and seen a lot of draymond standing in no mans land watching celtics take open threes, a very un draymond behavior
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 June 2022 15:08 (two years ago) link
The league has averaged about 3.3 corner 3s (per team) per game this season. The Warriors have allowed 23 in their last three games.
Overall, the Warriors have allowed 123.8 points per 100 possessions over those three games, the most they’ve allowed in any three-game stretch with Green in the lineup this season.
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 June 2022 15:29 (two years ago) link
Dray has to build content for his podcasts. He’s on the hero’s journey… gotta play poorly and get desperate before the triumphant return to glory.

― that's not my post, Saturday, 4 June 2022 17:07 (two years ago) link
i dont care about the pod thing but people are really mad about it. i think its cool we hear from the players right after games but they def need to be careful not to give the opponent any bulletin board material.
havent really been nervous about any game this year until this one. so hard not to overreact to one game but... i have doubts. the margin for error is completely gone vs this celtics defense. they just cant waste possessions.
― Spottie, Saturday, 4 June 2022 17:17 (two years ago) link
i can certainly see why for most fans of the team the optics of podding right after a loss are…not great.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 4 June 2022 17:47 (two years ago) link
yeah i would not like it if it were my team
― ciderpress, Saturday, 4 June 2022 18:07 (two years ago) link
imo podcasting is harmless and the whole backlash to it is pretty funny its a perfect absurd story, but dray should prob just not do it anyway its just not worth sticking your neck out like that does he really want to have to hear people bitch about his podcast forever if they lose
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 June 2022 21:02 (two years ago) link
tho yeah tbh marcus smart podding throughout the playoffs does not sound great to me
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 June 2022 21:04 (two years ago) link
there was story about how horf is keeping everyone dialed in throughout the offs telling them its a business trip no partying no doing dumb shit and im just imagining him saying no podcasting

yeah prob marcus, maybe jaylen would have one that wasnt about basketball

actually wait its grant definitely grant
― lag∞n, Saturday, 4 June 2022 22:06 (two years ago) link
Yes 100% grant. Yea the podcasting backlash is funny he’s in his hotel talking about hoops I see no harm. If they get swept and he plays every game like game 1 then I might say give it a rest but he’s been doing it through the playoffs and he’s been fine. Kinda cool to get real time reactions beyond the post game platitudes and cliches from someone playing imo. Dubs fans (mainly the curry stan brigade) have been weird about Dray ever since he signed with klutch and started gassing lebron tho. Off the court Dubs are all business for the most part even Poole they say is like a hoop eat sleep and in the gym at all times guy.
― Spottie, Saturday, 4 June 2022 23:02 (two years ago) link
lol i can remember taking the bus home after my junior varsity hoops team lost its first road game and thinking, well, i have to feel really bad now because that's how sports work and i'd totally bought into it
obviously it's a job and successful athletes do so much work that fans know nothing of, and i don't think 'casting is gonna make draymond less prepared for game 2. but puncturing fans' illusions is never worth the blowback

Horford telling you to not party and to praise god before eating the blandest meal at 5 pm when you have 50 million dollars if you win or lose.

It's not all about the money. There's an elation about winning a chip that almost all the best players seek. If you do that, the money follows of its own accord.
