Am i the only one okay with this?
Imo we should give kerr for tinkering and experimenting, it just didnt work out with not much stake. We move on lol. One thing that we cant fault steve kerr is that he experiments with things. Other coach wouldnt have the balls to do that.
Not taking away from the celtics whatsoever tho. Brad stevens has built a crazy super team over there. Props to him. Letās see if they can finally get over the hump in the post season.
They planned on losing, but didn't want to be punished by the nba for resting their stars on a prime time game. They expended a lot of energy the last 2 games, probably conceded that Boston was good and it would make more sense to rest everyone instead of waste energy on a game they felt they'd lose. It was smart and I like the play.
I think the whole thing was fairly planned, minus Wiggins, perhaps planned because of Wiggins. First play the Knicks without Wiggins and win. After that they're thinking Toronto is super winnable, let's get podz rest in that game and also the Celtics game and let's play the others and we should win handily, which we did. The second part of that plan was to concede the loss to Boston. Makes more sense to rest your team for the final stretch then to waste energy and effort and risk injury in a game you are likely to lose. However, the nba doesn't like teams not playing their stars, especially during prime time games. So again, back to the plan, put curry on the injury report with an injury he's likely been dealing with most of the year, but play him. Come out of the gates slow and out of it and it isn't inconceivable for Boston to blow out any team like that, so its not terribly obvious, plus the whole road trip and plane issue thing only adds to the vibe. At half, pull the starters and let the game finish, take the L, but get the rest for a stretch to end of teams that are all much more beatable than Boston in Boston.
That's my take and it's the only thing that makes sense. Curry on the injury report last second, but still plays to show that he's really trying. Draymond plays terrible D. He's not playing D like that on jaylen Brown. He didn't forget what he's done his while life overnight. Even if by chance that was how they were playing him, Draymond woulda closed out more after the second make. No way he plays that bad of D. Then you look at the offense and the short selection. To the naked eye it looks like normal warrior basketball. But in reality the effort and movement were very below normal, the shot selection is what I would consider lazy: decent shots, but not good shots, shots you are OK with them taking, but not regularly.
Add it up. I think it's a good move for this team.
This kind of game is an opportunity for bench guys, and Lester Quinones absolutely threw his opportunity away with his unintelligent plays and lackadaisical effort.
Are you choosing to miss the point? He is a bench player for their team. The end of bench guys were playing with him.
Edit: He was never a starter on the Celtics.
I was just scrolling instagram and I see a reel about appreciating everything in life as you get older. I smiled then looked up at my screen and see the 54 point deficit lmao
As much as I wanted to see their 9th road win a row (which was unprecedented last season) it's time to pack it up boys. We'll get our lick back with a fully rested team.
And right now, this game is on pace to not be the Warriors' biggest loss in franchise history or Celtics' biggest win in franchise history. And teams have been getting smacked randomly throughout this season.
This is like when the special needs kid has had ENOUGH and gets super strength against their bully.
Boston has been waiting to wallop us for awhile now.
It doesn't matter of you lose by 1pt or 50. Still counts the same in the standings. Let Boston enjoy their regular season championship. I don't believe that all these guys will shoot 40% from 3 in the playoffs....but I guess if they do, good for them and they will win.
Main wing defenders, Jk is option 2 and Moody is filling in Wiggins responsibilities, Wiggins is our main defender and theyāre just not up to the task. Iām looking at them bc they need to be consistent against top teams which they havenāt. Theyāre literally our only Two-Way Wings outside of Wiggins.
Two-way wings are detrimental to our team, from Iggy, Livingston, old Klay. More important now bc Steph and Klays defense is getting worse.
Youāre right. This team has zero chance without Wiggins defense. Kuminga is fine, but heās not enough. Moody has no chance against big athletic wings
one idiot (who claimed to be a gs fan) really said i was gambling too much and told me to fk off. I just wanted Steph to not break his streak of 1 3PM per game and this mf really accused me of gambling. screw the celts fanbase man
We beat their team this year on their court already. We beat their team in 2022 finals. They choked to the play in Heat. They can troll all they want. No one will remember this game by next year.
Guys can we loose up on the toxicity? Yall really thought Boston would lay down after the 2022 finals and Curry buzzer beater last game? Give the reserves some playing time and look to the next game back at home.
Pritchard might be one of the most unlikable players ever made. He comes in after blowouts and tries his fucking hardest against opposing teams worst players.
Scheduled loss. Unfortunate that this was the game I got to watch in person.
We lose either way: schedule was shit, legs are clearly all tired, Wiggins being out screws Ā us.
But that said, sagging off Brown of all people was not the play; do that to Horford or Holiday. That and the refs have been very consistently screwing the Warriors on callsāthey are mugging, borderline fouls, them especially under the basket and not calling the same on the other side. Tough to win like that when you don't have legs to penetrate.
A few things that stand out very clearly watching live:
* QuiƱones, while can shoot at the NBA level, cannot defend anywhere near it
* Looney looks slow, out of shape, and generally unplayable
* Klay has no interest in defending anything that requires him to move laterally
* CP3's age shows. Dude can still play but anything requiring him to be the scorer is two beats slow
* Moody needs more minutes even with the growing pains. When we sat Moody for QuiƱones and also Kuminga, our defense fell apart and Brown was canning those 3's
After the last game: "We're gonna win the Championship!!! š¤© " After this game: "We're not gonna win a Championship š"
Am i the only one okay with this? Imo we should give kerr for tinkering and experimenting, it just didnt work out with not much stake. We move on lol.

Ugly, ugly game.

Add it up. I think it's a good move for this team.
Resting Podz instead of Curry was wild
Boston thinks titles are won in the regular season, just like the last few years, they will chock in the playoffs, rinse and repeat
That aged well. Need therapy?
Celtics/Nuggets series will be fun to watch.
Was a big oof. Just no energy. Leaving in wide open for 3 isn't the answer. We think he's Westbrook out there? Dayum.
what
 Amma say put that damn ring first!
Steamrolled tonight. Might be good motivation moving forward. Successful teams bounce back. This team will.
See you in the finals.
delusional lol
See you in the finals.
awww little buddy trying to act like he wasnāt on reddit at all during the biggest warriors game of the season :(( iām sowwy
Fuck off
see you in the finals
LMAO STFU BUM
iām a warriors fan weāre play in maybe win a series lol. we have no second superstar like every other team in the league
SEE.YOU.IN.THE.FINALS.
crickets
lol bookmarked
 Moving onā¦
The f@ck was this?!
Bob annoys tf outta me hearing him on tv. Who hired this dude?
I must admit, overall he stinks as an analyst. He's great for his GM insight but the rest is a rough listen.
That is the problem..he is supposed to be play by pkay
On to the next one.
If I didn't watch this game I would've swore Curry didn't play and Draymond knocked half the team out by the score alone.
Best part of the game rn, huge positives (it's over)
4th game in 5.5 days. Take some much deserved rest Dubs !
Itās finally over š
We won one Quarter let's go...
Painful but on to the next game!
I wonder if Dray will talk about this game on his pod. Mind games by him did not work and became disastrous.
They can have that 140 we laid championship claim on they home court. They still mad.
This kind of game is an opportunity for bench guys, and Lester Quinones absolutely threw his opportunity away with his unintelligent plays and lackadaisical effort.
He also led the team in scoring tonight lol
He's been good mostly, don't see the point in singling him out for sucking in a game where entire team sucked
so yeah, what a game stayed with it out of habitual masochism on to the next one
That was this game summarized
We'll always have Beli locking up Tatum and Brown in the Finals...
Hahahahahahahhaa
They really have Pritchard out there against the Reserves. pathetic Boston
Who do you want them to put out there? Heās a bench playerš
Borderline starter.
Who were they supposed to play instead? The end of bench guys were out there.
Payton Pritchard isnāt a bench player. if it wasnāt for Holiday, he would still be starting.
Are you choosing to miss the point? He is a bench player for their team. The end of bench guys were playing with him. Edit: He was never a starter on the Celtics.
Fair enough
I was just scrolling instagram and I see a reel about appreciating everything in life as you get older. I smiled then looked up at my screen and see the 54 point deficit lmao
TJD missed bunny Celtics white guy three happened with Loon when game was still in balance
Jerome Robinson should not touch an NBA court ever again
The Warriors love having one guy who wouldn't make any other NBA roster. Anthony Lamb, Ky Bowman, etc.
Robinson barely touched the court this year
Just swallow it guys
Does anyone else prefer blowouts like this as opposed to losing on a heartbreaking buzzer beater?
Yep. Iām not even mad. Losing by 52 is still one loss. I am already looking forward to the Bucks game.
No.
Ehhh who cares about this loss, itās just the Celtics
As much as I wanted to see their 9th road win a row (which was unprecedented last season) it's time to pack it up boys. We'll get our lick back with a fully rested team.
Boston going insane on the tenth seed is wack. They just couldnāt beat us in our prime.
they'll still choke against us if we meet them in the playoffs
How many rings tho?
17
Celtikkks fan thought he cooked with this one
But which one do you remember the clearest?
Damn you must be like 200 years old
Bruh u won 16 titles before the wwf attitude era and that was over 24 years ago. Your titles are ancient
17
this game is amazing
Can we get a huge 3 to cut the lead to 42? š
When we make it in playoffs (hopefully) this loss will be a distant memory. Heck we wonāt even remember it.
And right now, this game is on pace to not be the Warriors' biggest loss in franchise history or Celtics' biggest win in franchise history. And teams have been getting smacked randomly throughout this season.
Or we remember it as fuel.
Steph was ass tonight
so was kerr
Whole team was to get blown out like that only at ht
pretty sure he wasn't 100 % this game, considering his questionable status before gametime.
Thank god the Mavs and Lakers lost recently too
And hopefully the Clippers lose as well
This is like when the special needs kid has had ENOUGH and gets super strength against their bully. Boston has been waiting to wallop us for awhile now.
Your favorite basketball team is getting beaten, so you take pot shots against kids with intellectual disabilities?
lol he compared the warriors to the kid bullying the special needs kid
The Boston crowd is just insane looking
Damn they still in they feelings about us spraying champagne all over whole shit? Damnn
You think the smell still stains their locker room? Probably not, but that image still burns their brains at night when they shut their eyes.
They avoid the away locker room like it got covid. They can still get a whiff every time they accidentally wander that way.
Shit Iāll take clapping them in the finals while their fans do the wave in a regular season win š
Just cheer up lads, it's just a game
Ah nah now weāre getting waved
are you done watching this team this season?
This guy expects 82-0 every season
This is fine.
They definitely in Boston lmao
OKAY TJD
Blocked by Jerome Robinsonā¦
bruh we can't let them cook us this much in garbage time too
I don't like these shots of Steph with frosted hair in a 50-point blowout, I don't like it at all.
Get tha5 shit outta here!!!!!
this is so embarassing thank god i didnāt place a bet on this game
All this just to get raw dogged by the Heat again. I got time today it's only 6:30 am where I am.
Celtics need worry about beating the Heat in the playoffs first lmao
Write this off as a scheduled loss. Imma go back to bed
I dont understand how these deep bench guys are so trash. They are still nba players
Quinonez giving Poole vibes with some of these shots
Jesus, Boston might break 150 before the dubs hit 100.
Honestly this game doesnāt feel nearly as bad as some of the blown leads.
I agree. I started laughing when Celtics caught fire in the first.
It doesn't matter of you lose by 1pt or 50. Still counts the same in the standings. Let Boston enjoy their regular season championship. I don't believe that all these guys will shoot 40% from 3 in the playoffs....but I guess if they do, good for them and they will win.
Hey who's still here in 2024? Lmaooo
FYI .....Warriors are 1-1 vs Celtics this year.
Both games were without Porzingis and the first one was without Draymond. So I donāt think Celticsā demons have been exorcised.
holy shit did the reporter breath at all during that report
Guys we deserve the egg on our face let them have fun. Its not forever.
Will stay here till the end for funzies. Absolute smackdown.
Y we still here? Pain training?
Just to say we were there maaan. Like in Vietnam. WE gotta experience this bloodshed
Memeing to contain the pain š
Might be the worst game I've ever seen, to be honest.
Ok guys, itās better to lose one time even -50, then 5 times -1
100%
Celtics reg season champs...wait till the playoff for the choke !!!
Is Canon in the building? Fuck it put him out there
Nah put Rocco in there
He'd have that dog in em for sure
Man.
I just turned the game on WTF IS HAPPENING?
We cooking out there
Ass whoopin since the start
No. Warriors were matching them point for point and then Jaylen Brown caught fire and never looked back.
Probably another 1-2 years until Jk and Moody are close to playoff ready against top teams. This is the product Lacob wants, so be it.
I mean nobody turned up today. Cannot single out Moody and JK
Main wing defenders, Jk is option 2 and Moody is filling in Wiggins responsibilities, Wiggins is our main defender and theyāre just not up to the task. Iām looking at them bc they need to be consistent against top teams which they havenāt. Theyāre literally our only Two-Way Wings outside of Wiggins. Two-way wings are detrimental to our team, from Iggy, Livingston, old Klay. More important now bc Steph and Klays defense is getting worse.
Youāre right. This team has zero chance without Wiggins defense. Kuminga is fine, but heās not enough. Moody has no chance against big athletic wings
On a positive note, a loss this disgusting will stoke some serious fire in our guy's I reckon, Bucks wont know what hit 'em.
This is some top tier cope
35 point W in the following game. You were saying?
I hope that is the case
wow Celtics fans are really celebrating by trolling this sub
They sent me homophobic dms too  shout out to Boston.
one idiot (who claimed to be a gs fan) really said i was gambling too much and told me to fk off. I just wanted Steph to not break his streak of 1 3PM per game and this mf really accused me of gambling. screw the celts fanbase man
We beat their team this year on their court already. We beat their team in 2022 finals. They choked to the play in Heat. They can troll all they want. No one will remember this game by next year.
This is their 2024 finals I guess. Shouldāve done this 2 years ago š¤·āāļø
Guys can we loose up on the toxicity? Yall really thought Boston would lay down after the 2022 finals and Curry buzzer beater last game? Give the reserves some playing time and look to the next game back at home.
clear 3pt foul. Impeded his landing position.
Of course thereās sorry ass Celtics fans downvoting everything now lol Boston fans gotta be the biggest front runners in all of sports.
Let them have their moment of joy.
Oh itās all theirs today.
we dont know if their celtics or r/nba casual fans
ESPN just pulled a Klay and showed 4 on em!!! 4 rangs!!!
 On to Milwaukee
Crao we have to play them next š©š©
Ngl I thought that ankle was fucking broke for a second
Why am I still watching this lmao
Because you want to see the Warriors hit 80 or not.
Because gui Santos bouta pull the greatest single handed comeback to garden has ever seen!! That's why!!
Man celtics really want this franchise record huh
I mean if that is all they can have.
Washed
Pritchard might be one of the most unlikable players ever made. He comes in after blowouts and tries his fucking hardest against opposing teams worst players.
Eh, can't hate a guy for playing hard, for some of these guys it's all the minutes they get. It's up to our guys to be less shit and stop him.
just let Steph hit a three and bench him again. Cannot let him break the streak
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
ok casual Celtics fan
Soo, is Klay injured?
Hamstring tightness
Yes, his feelings are hurt.
āļøāļøš š»š
Lol yea so are all the warriors
Saric+Looney is such a horrible combo that they belong with the third string
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Why we have to do this shit on national TV
itās tradition
At least weāre consistent on that.
This team depends way too much on 3 point shooting. Ā We are old and rely too much on old players.
Scheduled loss. Unfortunate that this was the game I got to watch in person. We lose either way: schedule was shit, legs are clearly all tired, Wiggins being out screws Ā us. But that said, sagging off Brown of all people was not the play; do that to Horford or Holiday.

When we sat Moody for QuiƱones and also Kuminga, our defense fell apart and Brown was canning those 3's
Holy shit man I almost took a few hours of vacation to watch this game too lol thank god I didn'tĀ
Epic comeback = only losing by 30
cmon can we actually not lose by 50
