2022 NBA Finals - Game 4 | Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics (TIED 2-2)

[Sedale Threatt]

Like I kept telling everyone this isn't over. At this point I think Boston's **** because Golden State isn't losing another home game.

We've seen Boston come back from the dead so many times in the playoffs. The Warriors aren't so much better than them that they can't win another road game. I'm a pessimist so if I was a Boston fan I wouldn't be counting on it. But outside looking in I think they've still got a really good chance.

Yeah this is going to 7 games. Both teams are prone to piss poor play and amazing play. Curry had 43 points the next closest guy had 18. They can’t expect Curry to carry them like that the rest of the way. Even Boston had pretty balanced scoring, it’s just the other team had a guy that went Super Nova.

For sure. We've all seen the Celtics follow up crappy performances with great ones more than enough times during the playoffs to fully expect they'll do it again until they don't. The wild thing to me is how when they lose, it's almost always the same way: stupid turnovers, terrible shot selection down the stretch -- Smart's irrational confidence continues to blow my mind -- and at least one of Brown or Tatum disappears. That's got to be frustrating for Udoka. To keep making the same mistakes over and over again...

I did not think the Warriors could win a game where the Celtics played with that kind of effort. Very impressive win. For Curry to play this well with such an enormouns creation and shot-making burden is true greatness. Wiggins was fantastic as well.

Most random, useless and inconsequential brag of the night is that I looked to my lady right as they asked Kerr at the early timeout interview, "how is Curry able to do all of this?" and said at the same time as Kerr, "He's really good at basketball". There were literally no other words that were going to come out of Kerr's mouth right then, if you get him.

I've been saying that eventually the Celtics poor home record and their poor performances on offense are going to cost them the series. They can clearly get away with poor offensive performances against Milwaukee and Miami, but Golden State isn't going to allow it.

[Ill News]

This is a complete gut punch. Celtics just went back to their habit of shooting themselves in the foot. Warriors held them to 3 points in the last 5 minutes l, rendering the Celtics very tentativr and unsure what to do on offense. Just head-scratching.

Even more demoralizing is the Warriors won an extremely physical game, which is supposed to be the Celtics' advantage. The Cs have got to be kicking themselves tonight; they just didn't make buckets when it counted, and they let this one slip away.

Oh, and Curry was freaking unguardable. Carried the whole team tonight.

[BoatsNZones]

G5 in Golden State is going to be one of the more anticipated games of the past few years. Ditto 6 (and if it comes to it - 7 will be another level).

[TheNewEra]

Watching Tatum and Brown is why I’m happy the clips are trying to add another passer to George and Leonard. Have two focal point scoring wings it’s easy to fall in a trap of taking turns iso

[DonaldSanders]

It’d be really cool to just put away the hot takes for a day and appreciate both teams.

Agreed, this is a hell of a series with 2 amazing teams.

Warriors set multiple illegal screens for curry damn near every time down

Incredible, and so easy to see

[Tottery]

Finals schedule throwing me through a loop. Didn't even know the game was on today. Wife even asked and I was like, "nah no game tonight." Sad.

[Young Stapler]

I'm still amazed at how many people said the series was over after game 3

[Ballerhogger]

Yes !!! 2-2 I’ll take it !

[Ballerhogger]

I'm still amazed at how many people said the series was over after game 3.

If Boston won tonight it was over imo …. 2-2 though

[Clay Davis]

Great series. Thought Dray and Klay were cooked but then they made some great plays in the fourth to win the game.

Have you been watching the NBA much? Every team, including the Celtics, does moving screens now. It's like carrying violations, they just get called when it's extreme.

I can understand not liking this, but this is how it's been for awhile.

[CelticSooner]

C's haven't lose back to back games in the playoffs but GS should be favorites for Game 5. They aren't going to shoot themselves into a loss like Miami can.

Its easy to see because you are looking for it only when the Warriors do it. Moving screens are going on all the time in the nba, and of course its not called much in the playoffs. Also Klay literally got pushed into a screen where Smart flopped and then Klay got called for it. The team that wins at the end of this will win because they are better, not because of the calls.

[Floody100]

Boston’s strength coming into this series is that they could switch 1 though 5 & make it harder for shooters like Steph & Klay yet for some mind boggling reason the coaching staff continue to persist with drop coverage on switches & while it has kind of worked on Klay it’s became like a lay up for Steph.
I’m hoping they make the adjustment but it’s already been 4 games & nothing’s changed.

The biggest part of this brag is that you have a lady. Must be nice. Actually uhh….never mind. That’s no big deal. I totally have one of those too bro
