Does Grant Williams play defense where he doesn't have his hands straight up? He does realize he could try and block a shot right? The gymnist stance before they start isn't working for him.

That interior pass to Horford are the kind of plays that kill the other teams spirit. Three's are great but dunks that have the defense confused will win the series....
I'm so tired of the typical......

Al Horford is looking to score tonight unlike the other night.

Gimmick Warriors getting exposed by a team that actually can punish them for mistakes. You love to see it

Horford is in some ways the most well-rounded big since Tim Duncan.

Celtics have only taken 5x 3 pointers so far. Most the work being done in the paint. Love to see it

Kerr needs to settle on a rotation. Like where is Jordan Poole if u see Klay struggling and everything offensively is on Steph.

Refs will start to make calls and the Warriors will get back into it. Silver can't afford blowouts in the Finals.

Boston blowing their loads too early.

Unfortunately with Klay limp as he is the Warriors may not be able to capitalize.
Now that's the difference between first and last place.

It’s just a bummer to watch Klay look so washed.

He’ll get called for a foul straight away if his hands aren’t up. I think he’s doing it to weirdly prove a point.

A nice touch by the nba would be to not plant the YouTube tv logo all over the court. Don’t they care about their fans at all anymore?

What can Horford do that Embiid can't?

Very Duncan-like in aspects for sure. Just a really underrated player in all honesty and has been for a while.
