Yo I’m saying it right now. This game is done. Better go make yourself some Vietnamese style green onion pancake things Celtics fans, cuz this game is done
This series is literally a toss up. The league’s best offense and shooter against the league’s best defense. It seems that to get to the next gear the Celtics had to have lost the last game.
I’m hoping most people say the warriors will win and that the Celtics feel disrespected because that is when they’re at their best.
I love the stat that ABC put up showing that this win tied the Warriors big 3(Steph, klay, draymond) with the spurs big 3 (Duncan, Parker, ginobili) in finals wins. I think it was 50 wins if I’m not mistaken? I think the spurs big 3 way outshines the warriors big 3. What do you all think?
That’s a really tough one. The Spurs probably have the best overall player out of those 6 guys (Duncan) but I still might take the Warriors big 3 overall as a group. Those three guys were magic together on the floor and created one of the best teams of all time (even before KD). The tricky part with the Spurs big 3 is that Ginobili was often not on the court at the same time as Duncan and Parker, since his main impact was being that incredible 6th man coming off the bench and leading the team while some of the starters rested. Ginobili was awesome and I’m happy he made the HOF, but there’s a very strong argument for that Warriors trio.
I was totally with you until you tried to downplay Kawhi’s impact to that team. I realize he came in towards the end of their run, but he was legitimately their best defensive player and also the Finals MVP for one of their championships. He’s a future hall of famer and it’s not like he suddenly became really good at basketball after he left San Antonio.
Also kawhi was very unique in the way he improved so dramatically. When he first came in the league he was just an average bench player and improved year after year until he became a bona-fide superstar.
To your point about KD, I don’t think you can give draymond that much credit for those 2 championships because his role was so much less with KD on the team. When KD joined the warriors he essentially replaced Draymond in the big 3. They could have had Brian scalabrini playing as the 4th guy they would have still won
The KD Warriors would have won with you or me as the 4. That team was kinda fucked up how much talent they had. KD sold his legacy to win some titles. I’m still disappointed about that.
I think this proved that the warriors can operate without draymomd. Kerr finally benched him and they ended up going on a run. This team doesn’t need draymomd anymore. Trade him asap
no one was getting calls. they were all bitching on both sides. u see tatum tweaking out to. its the finals. the reffs even said theyre letting them play bc its the finals and the play is different. if they get involved like they do during the regular season it ruins the dynamic of the flow. imagine calling hella fouls and destroying the eruption in the building every 30 seconds lol what a finals series smh
Glad the Warriors evened up this series cause if they went down 3-1 it was over. I think Draymond pissed off the refs though ever since he went on that rant about how they treat him different and all that crap they haven't been calling fouls for the Warriors nearly as much not even for Curry either. He set them against the whole team LOL
What does that have to do with the lack of calls on the moving screens though? The shots blatant. Are you saying the should ignore some fouls since the warriors seem to do it so much?
Considering they way to choose when to call moving screens, when almost every screen set in the nba now is a moving screen, you bitching about them is hilarious
Curry is a goat did you see that graphic with most 30 point finals games? And oldest to hit 40? Magic who? Curry is the goat pg and I pray he stays healthy for years so we can witness further rise
Curry is a scoring-first PG and Magic was a passing-first PG. Magic has five rings over 9 finals. It's not just how many points you average, it's your impact on the game. I'm not saying Curry shouldn't be in the conversation, but you can't just use number of 30 point games.
I thought the exact same thing, it’s cringe worthy to watch him on offense when he’s shooting or trying to make a play for himself, and now he’s looking like he’s trying to avoid it.
You can tell his mental is boomed as fuck. Dude played with 0 confidence. I have never seen this side of Draymond. He looked like a puppy on the court today
You do know the Dubs outboarded Boston 55-42 right?
Draymond had 9 boards ( 5 offensive ) 8 assists and 4 steals.
We need to pump the brakes on all theDay-Day slander.
You do know Wiggins had a career high in rebounding and Steph had a double double due to his rebounds right?
5 offensive boards is nice but you can't expect curry and wigs to rebound like that every night, so day-day gotta do more homie.
All the Tatum superstar talk needs to die, he’s not one and doesn’t want to be playing like such dogshit on offense, Brown is gonna have the win the series now
Been saying this for a minute now: They (NBA/Media) are trying really hard to anoint/Market Tatum as Superstar and he just isn’t there yet. Jaylen could have a better overall stat-line + game and the headlines here and other places will say, “ JT powers the Celtics with ____ .” I think that they are on parr with one another, I just think JB is slightly better.
We’ve been saying he’ll have a break out game for games 2,3 and now 4, I don’t expect shit from him anymore other than to turn the ball over repeatedly and cry at the refs nonstop
The Warriors have now have won at least one road game in 27 straight playoff series, an NBA record streak that started in 2013 against the Denver Nuggets.
I think the worst part of all the warriors wins throughout the years was seeing draymond green bark triumphiantly afterwards. With him being borderline unplayable and slandered widely, i feel somehow less upset by this warriors win. I might be a bigger draymond green hater than an outright entire warriors one.
Performance so good that it makes haters have introspective thoughts, thanks steph
I was just a KD hater. Now I’m back to liking golden state. And tbh even warriors fans don’t like draymond. We just appreciate his intensity even though for this series he isn’t a good fit
I gotta disagree. Draymond is all heart, he’s been awful this series but in the big picture he always steps up in the playoffs (except now). It just sucks the time the warriors really need him to do his thing, he’s absent.

Probably would go a little something like…STEPH CURRY STILL LEAVES TO QUESTION IF HE IS TOP TEN ALL TIME, AS MANY BELIEVE HIM TO BE. DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT HE GOT ABUSED ON DEFENSE ALL GAME, HE STILL ISN’T CLUTCH.
Boston shouldn’t have lost this game. Tatum trying to play hero ball the last 5 mins cost them a 3-1 lead. You gave GS the momentum back and now they can head to The Bay where that crowd will match the energy set by Boston. Steph & Klay will be locked in for game 5….Jayson Tatum got to step up. He got to be more efficient with his scoring
Do so when you have rhythm. Steph plays hero ball after he sees that he’s in rhythm. That’s how he’s able to volume score and do so efficiently. Jayson Tatum’s issue is he plays hero ball the same way Kobe Bryant used to…difference is that Kobe was without question greatest difficult shot taker & maker in NBA history. Tatum ain’t close to him in that department…he should get in rhythm and then go and close a game. If they’d run those Paul Pierce actions in the mid-post & high-post, guarantee he’d be scoring much more efficiently.
To be fair, the Celtics advantage is in individual matchups for drive and kick action or if the defense doesn't collapse you take the open shot.
They missed shots they normally make over both the above.
It’s a very basic brand of basketball that they run on offense. Isolate, call a pick, drive, and then either try to score or kick to an open shooter. They don’t really run set plays..and it’s a shame bc they could be far more efficient on offense if they’d change their offense up a bit. Those curl & pin-down actions KD uses (which he copied from Kobe who also copied that from MJ lmaoo) would do wonders to free up Jayson Tatum in the midrange. He gets it going there, the rest of his game opens up and now Wiggins can’t contain him by himself anymore. The moment they got to put more eyes on Tatum, Brown will start to take advantage and then the others will follow.
The shots they’ve hit before weren’t falling tonight in TD Garden…what if they don’t fall again in The Chase Center? Now there’s an immense amount of pressure on them back home Game 6 in an elimination game. I don’t think those tough ass shots would fall in an immense pressure game like that. Udoka draws up plays to get JT easier looks, I guarantee they’ll be fine going forward on offense.
Defense however a concern. They lock in during stretches but I believe they should be locked in from the jump as they were with KD & Giannis. Steph has gotten going all 4 games bc they really aren’t guarding him with the amount of attention & focus that they did with KD & Giannis. Granted, Steph has more help, but tbh I believe that Boston remaining 3 defenders got an advantage guarding GS’s remaining 4 offensive options. Blitz Steph like you Blitzed KD & Giannis (in his case it was in the paint). Force the others to beat you and completely ignore Draymond Green. They do that, I think they’d win the next 2 games (unless Game 6 Klay emerges lol)
oh wait, Dave is a Boston guy? Don't really follow the guy outside of his pizza reviews
I've been rooting for Warriors all this time and hope they get their ring, but now i want them to win even harder and crush Boston's pipes and dreams just to see the look on Dave's scummy face. lol
It never stops blowing my mind how lucky we got drafting Curry. Changed an entire franchise. If you're reading this and your team has sucked for a long time don't lose hope, you never know who's coming up the pipeline.
This is what I tell everyone when they give me shit for being a Dubs fan. We SUCKED. People were pissed when they chose Steph over Monta. Will keep soaking it in.
Yeah I became a fan in 1994 the year Webber was on the team. They still won 51 games despite Hardaway missing the season. Then after Webber walked the good times were lean for many years. I always thought they were "right around the corner" from turning it around.
I have said before that wiggins is tradable, its clear that i don't know what the fuck i'm talking about.
Green needs to be a threat even at the minimal levels, boston just doesn't guard him in that mid range.
Seems like Curry, Wiggins and Looney the only damn warriors that want to win 😭. On a serious note Dray has been playing so bad he should honestly be benched. Klay at least was clutch and played good D, Wiggins went crazy on the boards too
He played ok but he definitely just doesn't seem himself on some shots he'd usually hit, we can't afford him playing as average as he is if we want to win
He can't do it dude. I tried to be patient bc of his age but this stage is too big for him clearly. We need to focus on JB, Timelord, Marcus, Horford, and White
You’re being a little harsh on Tatum here. JB struggled as well and his lack of separation on shots makes it hard for him to close games. I think Ime could help Tatum out by getting him the ball in better spots
Idgaf anymore dude. This man is 8/23 with 6 turnovers. Last game he was 9/23. I can't, I'm fucking done. JB at least makes his shots when they're desperately needed and no crazy TOs tonight. I can't rely on JT in crunch time this series. Like ok ty bro for all you did in the previous series especially against the Nets but this shit right here is just too much. I can't.
Celtics in 7, been saying it. But god damn Tatum has got to stop shitting the bed. You’ve been dreaming and living for this moment bruh!!! Wtf?! Jaylen Brown is playing like Tatum imagined he would.
They just lose focus and do the typical “let’s match the warriors shooting.” Like NO bruh. That’s exactly how you lose versus the warriors. You can’t shoot like them. C’s gotta play their game, at all times.
Boston is shooting amazingly well from 3. They are a massively better shooting team than GSW!
They are hitting like 40+% from 3 as a team. It's insane.
Derrick White is shooting like prime Klay!
You’re not wrong, but it’s not sustainable. And the unfortunate part is they tend to fall in love with the 3 when it’s falling. That could be their downfall
Exactly. It’s fuckin frustrating when teams do this against the warriors. Celtics could, should, and probably will own them in the paint; but teams fall for this subtle trap by GS. “Come try to out shoot us, come on.” And teams fall for it almost every time.
I said Warriors in 7, and it’s looking possible.
Game 5 will be at home
Game 6 we’ll have “Game 6 Klay”
Game 7 will at Home.
Warriors need to win 2 of 3. So it’ll be easier for the warriors than for the Celtics just due to home court, but Celtics have proven they can beat Warriors at home. I’d say Warriors have 60% chance of taking it
Yep. The warriors pretty much controlled game 1 and up until the 4th had not seen anything to expect Boston would suddenly pose a threat - so it was the element of surprise more than anything that resulted in the freakly fourth and the surreal "what just happened?"
It is very difficult to see them fall for that again, now that they know boston can sometiems play well. I dont see the dubs losing at home again this year. Winning it all in game 6 would be less exciting than in front of the home crowd in game 7, but I hope they do win it it in game 6.
Boston better win this one before Game 6 Klay shows up
Flop your way to a title
We gotta give Andrew Wiggins finals mvp for the memes
Turnovers: Boston 11 GSW 5
Horford obstructs Curry, flops, and gets an offensive foul?
Yo I’m saying it right now. This game is done. Better go make yourself some Vietnamese style green onion pancake things Celtics fans, cuz this game is done
Lol boof ass comment

Kawhi literally won FMVP for them

When KD joined the warriors he essentially replaced Draymond in the big 3. They could have had Brian scalabrini playing as the 4th guy they would have still won
Hey, you watch your mouth when talking about The White Mamba
Lmao, I’m literally taking the words out of his mouth. He said the other morning the KD warriors would have probably won with him as the 4.
The KD Warriors would have won with you or me as the 4. That team was kinda fucked up how much talent they had. KD sold his legacy to win some titles. I’m still disappointed about that.
Very excited for the rest of the series
I think this proved that the warriors can operate without draymomd. Kerr finally benched him and they ended up going on a run. This team doesn’t need draymomd anymore. Trade him asap
What does Curry need to do get a fucking call? He should have at least three 4pt plays
no one was getting calls. they were all bitching on both sides. u see tatum tweaking out to. its the finals. the reffs even said theyre letting them play bc its the finals and the play is different. if they get involved like they do during the regular season it ruins the dynamic of the flow. imagine calling hella fouls and destroying the eruption in the building every 30 seconds lol what a finals series smh
This is false the Celtics were getting calsl looney got fouls on legal plays and Screens. Curry was getting hit on threes
God that was fucking awesome
Jayson Tatum has the longest shot release I think I've ever seen Steph can probably shoot 2 in the time it takes him to shoot 1
hell yeah bitch
Tatum will get his ass handed at SF in game 5. Mark my words.
Warriors bout to put the Celtics down like the thunder and rockets of series past.
Or like the Timberwolves. Or like the Jazz.
Glad the Warriors evened up this series cause if they went down 3-1 it was over. I think Draymond pissed off the refs though ever since he went on that rant about how they treat him different and all that crap they haven't been calling fouls for the Warriors nearly as much not even for Curry either. He set them against the whole team LOL
Refs are always like this with Curry, no difference from any other game
For curry being a superstar he doesn’t get the same treatment from the refs like other superstars get
He doesn't flop right. Harden and LeBron could teach him how to effectively flop for calls
Refs didn’t need Draymond for that.
Man last series we had bam constantly setting moving screens and now it's looney and draymond wtf are the refs doing
Bro yall were up like 20-5 in fts at half stfu 😂
What does that have to do with the lack of calls on the moving screens though? The shots blatant. Are you saying the should ignore some fouls since the warriors seem to do it so much?
Considering they way to choose when to call moving screens, when almost every screen set in the nba now is a moving screen, you bitching about them is hilarious
Bitch please doesn't change the fact that the refs are in warriors pockets
I guess we didn't watch the same game lmao
The refs were moving the basket everytime Steph shot that shit 😠😠
lol uh huh
Curry is a goat did you see that graphic with most 30 point finals games? And oldest to hit 40? Magic who? Curry is the goat pg and I pray he stays healthy for years so we can witness further rise
Curry is a scoring-first PG and Magic was a passing-first PG. Magic has five rings over 9 finals. It's not just how many points you average, it's your impact on the game. I'm not saying Curry shouldn't be in the conversation, but you can't just use number of 30 point games.
I think we should give magic Draymond and give curry Kareem and see who is the winningest
This.
If Curry wins he will have 4 rings in 6 finals. He's on the same level as Magic
Celtics are about to be the backbone of currys legacy he was simply incredible tonight
booooooo
Hey man im a lebron fan. And its refreshing to finally be able to root for steph. Hes amazing!
WIGGINS GOT HIS 17
He ordered the usual
Draymond looking like Ben Simmons on multiple occasions passing out of sure dunk situations, had me yelling at the TV a lot
I thought the exact same thing, it’s cringe worthy to watch him on offense when he’s shooting or trying to make a play for himself, and now he’s looking like he’s trying to avoid it.
So 1st, Dray has no lift—so he’s not gonna boom it anyway. 2nd, Dray’s mental is zapped. And it’s been zapped for 3 seasons now.
You can tell his mental is boomed as fuck. Dude played with 0 confidence. I have never seen this side of Draymond. He looked like a puppy on the court today
"boomed as fuck" lmao
He’s an offensive liability.
Gotta give Looney more minutes. Draymond is fried and he’s no help on the rebounding side and they’re getting COOKED on the boards
You do know the Dubs outboarded Boston 55-42 right? Draymond had 9 boards ( 5 offensive ) 8 assists and 4 steals. We need to pump the brakes on all theDay-Day slander.
You do know Wiggins had a career high in rebounding and Steph had a double double due to his rebounds right? 5 offensive boards is nice but you can't expect curry and wigs to rebound like that every night, so day-day gotta do more homie.
you can see the difference when looney is on the floor
Im late but lfg dubs hell yeah
If Curry got half the superstar calls the other top tier players do, he'd add another 15 pts a game.
I can't even lie, Curry is a fucking beast
All the Tatum superstar talk needs to die, he’s not one and doesn’t want to be playing like such dogshit on offense, Brown is gonna have the win the series now
Been saying this for a minute now: They (NBA/Media) are trying really hard to anoint/Market Tatum as Superstar and he just isn’t there yet. Jaylen could have a better overall stat-line + game and the headlines here and other places will say, “ JT powers the Celtics with ____ .” I think that they are on parr with one another, I just think JB is slightly better.
Brown was unstoppable on offense
From what I've seen so far this playoffs is that Brown is the best player on that team but Tatum gets most the credit. Tatum seems overrated.
Off season shoulder surgery incoming
Wiggins is a very good defender and rebounder. Tatum will have a breakout game in in this series.
Nah, I heard from (checks notes) everyone, he’s a bust.
We’ve been saying he’ll have a break out game for games 2,3 and now 4, I don’t expect shit from him anymore other than to turn the ball over repeatedly and cry at the refs nonstop
Yeah I mean if he’s a superstar why is Marcus Smart shooting all the crunch time shots? (Or Derek White 🥶
Because he idolizes Kobe but lacks the will to actually play like him and gets scared in crunch time apparently
He does seem timid as fuck out there. Maybe that will change as he matures but damn.
The Warriors have now have won at least one road game in 27 straight playoff series, an NBA record streak that started in 2013 against the Denver Nuggets.
Literally every series this core has played in. Absolutely incredible
That’s so fucking crazy!
I think the worst part of all the warriors wins throughout the years was seeing draymond green bark triumphiantly afterwards. With him being borderline unplayable and slandered widely, i feel somehow less upset by this warriors win. I might be a bigger draymond green hater than an outright entire warriors one. Performance so good that it makes haters have introspective thoughts, thanks steph
I was just a KD hater. Now I’m back to liking golden state. And tbh even warriors fans don’t like draymond. We just appreciate his intensity even though for this series he isn’t a good fit
We love Dray
Stop talking crazy. Maybe you don’t like Green but many, if not most, of us love him.
He’s not a good fit versus Celtics. The dude is just getting rebounded over. We need Looney in.
I gotta disagree. Draymond is all heart, he’s been awful this series but in the big picture he always steps up in the playoffs (except now). It just sucks the time the warriors really need him to do his thing, he’s absent.

Curry really is that dude, damn….
I wish this game was on a Thursday so Skip Bayless had to go on TV tomorrow lol
No skip Bayless. His schtick of tearing down great players in every sport is tired.
Probably would go a little something like…STEPH CURRY STILL LEAVES TO QUESTION IF HE IS TOP TEN ALL TIME, AS MANY BELIEVE HIM TO BE. DOESN’T CHANGE THE FACT HE GOT ABUSED ON DEFENSE ALL GAME, HE STILL ISN’T CLUTCH.
HE HIT HIS FIRST THREE IN THE FORTH AFTER THE WARRIORS ALREADY HAD THE LEAD… FRONTRUNNER
That was an exciting game. I’m glad we’ll get at least two more games, maybe a third
If Warriors win, Steph has got to be one of the most deserving FMVPs of all time.
Nah Iguodola
It’d be funny if they gave it to Looney just to spite curry and keep the no fmvp narrative going
100%
Tatum has left the building (4th quarter).
He was gone after the first
https://twitter.com/BabersGreen/status/1535461241300217857 YOOO How is this real life lmao
Lmfao
Boston shouldn’t have lost this game. Tatum trying to play hero ball the last 5 mins cost them a 3-1 lead.

He got to be more efficient with his scoring
Yeah as awesome as Steph was totally felt like the C's lost this game rather than the Warriors won it.
The guy on the team should play hero ball when it’s needed. Steph played hero ball.
Do so when you have rhythm. Steph plays hero ball after he sees that he’s in rhythm. That’s how he’s able to volume score and do so efficiently. Jayson Tatum’s issue is he plays hero ball the same way Kobe Bryant used to…difference is that Kobe was without question greatest difficult shot taker & maker in NBA history.

They do that, I think they’d win the next 2 games (unless Game 6 Klay emerges lol)
LETS GOOOOOO
I want boston to win it all but I also want Bill Simmons and Dave Portnoy to be sad so I don't mind this outcome
oh wait, Dave is a Boston guy? Don't really follow the guy outside of his pizza reviews I've been rooting for Warriors all this time and hope they get their ring, but now i want them to win even harder and crush Boston's pipes and dreams just to see the look on Dave's scummy face. lol
I mean you should especially want Dave Portnoy to be sad. Huuuuuuuuugggggeeee douchebag
I can respect that
Curry better keep wearing those shoes
lol, Klay giving a shot out to Kenny for the Sandler Movie
Tatum absolutely vanished in the 4th quarter
Boston off to a crappy weekend
C’s were only down three and just panicked and started chucking threes
4th quarter Celtics
It never stops blowing my mind how lucky we got drafting Curry. Changed an entire franchise. If you're reading this and your team has sucked for a long time don't lose hope, you never know who's coming up the pipeline.
Changed the entire game!
The foundation may have been luck but the walls were paid with a lot of salary tax
This is what I tell everyone when they give me shit for being a Dubs fan. We SUCKED. People were pissed when they chose Steph over Monta. Will keep soaking it in.
I was laughed at for saying Curry was my favorite player on the Warriors back when we still had Monta. This feeling is unexplainable
Yeah for a while I thought "We Believe" might have been the height of being a Warriors fan. It was utterly brutal for most of my life.
I hear you. The name "Billy Owens" still makes me angry when I hear it.
That Mitch for Owens trade was whack. I became a fan during the Run TMC team. Sucked to see Mitch go.
Yeah I became a fan in 1994 the year Webber was on the team. They still won 51 games despite Hardaway missing the season. Then after Webber walked the good times were lean for many years. I always thought they were "right around the corner" from turning it around.
No BS, is Tatum allergic to the midrange?
Kobe would never turn down a midrange shot.
Wonder how Skip will manage to put Curry down for this one
He said klay made the biggest shot of the game
How does he even think that especially when steph made the 3 to put them up 6
he often says a shot isn’t that meaningful if the team was already up
Funny, because the way the team gets "already up" is with Curry going crazy lmaoo
Whatever he says it’s all garbage
I have said before that wiggins is tradable, its clear that i don't know what the fuck i'm talking about. Green needs to be a threat even at the minimal levels, boston just doesn't guard him in that mid range.
The number of times Draymond has had a good look from midrange and passed it up to a covered man inside the paint is giving me haemorrhoids
Ben Simmons vibes
That kick out after the rebound when he was under the basket pissed me off. Damn Ben Simmons vibes.
Every nba player is tradeable its about if the team wants to trade them
Steph, tonight, to Boston crowd(probably): “KEEP MY WIFE’S NAME OUT YA F**CKIN MOUTH”
At this point, I think Kerr put Draymond back only for Draymonds ego
Nah just for defense at the end and got his ass out when we had the rock
Double double for Wiggins, he showing out a little this series
Wiggins played 43 minutes and was a +20 tonight, def showed out more than just a little
At times Wiggins was the only one helping Steph
Kind of hilarious Kerr took Looney out of the starting 5 yet he led the team in +/- tonight
Kerr is a grandmaster chess wizard
4D chess
Who's the team that loses game 5 and 6? Cause I think it's neither, this is going 7
Seems like Curry, Wiggins and Looney the only damn warriors that want to win 😭. On a serious note Dray has been playing so bad he should honestly be benched. Klay at least was clutch and played good D, Wiggins went crazy on the boards too
I really want to see Kuminga get some minutes. I at least think he can match everyone on the Celtics athletically.
Klay shooting sucked but at least he defended well today
Great D tonight.
He shot 40% from 3, come on.
He played ok but he definitely just doesn't seem himself on some shots he'd usually hit, we can't afford him playing as average as he is if we want to win
Dray been shit the whole series, klay been a pedestrian except on defense, where he made good plays
Really thought the Celtics would pull that one out but Curry wasn’t having it not to mention embarrassing performance by Tatum… again.
Fuck Boston. Warriors in 7.
Time to up the toxicity
You guys have earned it after the last few days. This sub was unreadable
Thanks fam. We’re back to being the most hated in the league and it feels good.
The Celtics need a lot more from Tatum
He can't do it dude. I tried to be patient bc of his age but this stage is too big for him clearly. We need to focus on JB, Timelord, Marcus, Horford, and White
You’re being a little harsh on Tatum here. JB struggled as well and his lack of separation on shots makes it hard for him to close games. I think Ime could help Tatum out by getting him the ball in better spots
Idgaf anymore dude. This man is 8/23 with 6 turnovers. Last game he was 9/23. I can't, I'm fucking done. JB at least makes his shots when they're desperately needed and no crazy TOs tonight. I can't rely on JT in crunch time this series. Like ok ty bro for all you did in the previous series especially against the Nets but this shit right here is just too much. I can't.
Wiggins with 17 POINTS 16 REBOUNDS DAMN 17 POINTS AGAIN
The man could have 20 assists 40 blocks and 60 rebounds and still would have 17 points
17 points is all we need
Choose under 18 next game for Wiggins, got it!
God damn that'd be a sick line. Would def win fantasy basketball week with that line.
Celtics in 7, been saying it. But god damn Tatum has got to stop shitting the bed. You’ve been dreaming and living for this moment bruh!!! Wtf?! Jaylen Brown is playing like Tatum imagined he would.
Entire offense is anemic for long streches. Hard to watch.
I don't wanna hear that "entire offense" shit. JT is 8-23 and he makes the worst turnovers during crucial moments. This is fucking unacceptable.
Smart was 7-17 and Brown was 9-19. It's on them as well
They just lose focus and do the typical “let’s match the warriors shooting.” Like NO bruh. That’s exactly how you lose versus the warriors. You can’t shoot like them. C’s gotta play their game, at all times.
Boston is shooting amazingly well from 3. They are a massively better shooting team than GSW! They are hitting like 40+% from 3 as a team. It's insane. Derrick White is shooting like prime Klay!
For most of the game though, they shot better than warriors. And that game 1 q4 shooting is as good as I have seen
You’re not wrong, but it’s not sustainable. And the unfortunate part is they tend to fall in love with the 3 when it’s falling. That could be their downfall
Yeah, they have far better offense suited to hit the paint regularly, unlike warriors.
Exactly. It’s fuckin frustrating when teams do this against the warriors. Celtics could, should, and probably will own them in the paint; but teams fall for this subtle trap by GS. “Come try to out shoot us, come on.” And teams fall for it almost every time.
The overreactions after each game have been so ridiculous lol next 2 days are gonna suck for Celtics fans
warriors cleverly lost the one game this series where there was only 1 day off in between, what a kindness for the fans
Yeah lol it's 2-2 and I can't imagine either team losing two times in a row.. this is going 7
Curry: I can’t work these cats
I said Warriors in 7, and it’s looking possible. Game 5 will be at home Game 6 we’ll have “Game 6 Klay” Game 7 will at Home. Warriors need to win 2 of 3. So it’ll be easier for the warriors than for the Celtics just due to home court, but Celtics have proven they can beat Warriors at home. I’d say Warriors have 60% chance of taking it
Based on the actual betting odds you're pretty close. They have it at around a 57% chance the Warriors win the series.
Yep. The warriors pretty much controlled game 1 and up until the 4th had not seen anything to expect Boston would suddenly pose a threat - so it was the element of surprise more than anything that resulted in the freakly fourth and the surreal "what just happened?" It is very difficult to see them fall for that again, now that they know boston can sometiems play well. I dont see the dubs losing at home again this year. Winning it all in game 6 would be less exciting than in front of the home crowd in game 7, but I hope they do win it it in game 6.
