THINGS I’M LOOKING FOR
1. Focus: I know how much everyone fears a game against a very shorthanded team. The Warriors are going to have trouble running their offense missing so many guys and their defense will be easy to attack … IF … Boston is focused enough to play hard and make this an easy win.
This is a TNT game. Everyone is watching. Don’t put up a stinker on national TV.
2. Shooting: This is a great chance to get the shooting back on track. Without Green, the Warriors defense will make plenty of mistakes. Just put a little pressure on them with drives and when they overreact, the easy kick-outs will be there. Just run the offense and good looks will come. The C’s have a real chance to pour it on.
3. Jaylen Brown: He has been in a bit of a funk. I want to see him play smart and under control. It’d be nice to see a good, efficient game from him.
Follow along with my thoughts as the game goes on. They’ll show up below and in the comments section, so hop in and share your opinion as well.
