The 2022 NBA Finals | (3) Golden State Warriors VS. (2) Boston Celtics (BOS 1-0)

[TheLand13]

Cool story. We won some fully healthy and lost some fully healthy. They’re tight series, it’s the way it goes.

The Grizz won a game without Ja Morant, does that mean they’re better off without him? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to prove.

Did you even read my post to begin with? It’s pretty clear what my point is. You lost multiple key games while having a fully healthy team while the other team didn’t. I acknowledge that your team had injury issues. They aren’t the reason why these series were closer than they were supposed to be.

Don t try to reason with this guy. He is the worst Celtic homer on this board. He will go to incredible lengths to defend his team. A true fanatic.

To be fair I’ve seen some really bad ones that would give this guy a run for his money.

True. Most characteristic is that they feel the need to attack your point immediately if you say something they don t agree with.

So, it's the team durant ditched to win titles Vs the team Kyrie ditched to win titles.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like the insane amount of length that Boston has will be a very serious problem for Golden State to deal with. I’ve never seen a team with this many players at multiple positions capable of guarding the perimeter.

Called this series the week before the playoffs began. And here. We. Go.

It will be an epic.

I truly have no idea who wins.

[NO-KG-AI]

I think this finals series is interesting because I feel like both teams are really good, but not great, and a truly standout performance by a superstar could completely melt the other team, which isn't always the case when there are superteams that are so good their best player can play like ass half the games and still win.

The NBA is more fun this way IMO, where a team is talented enough to relieve some pressure off their top guy, but they are also built around him in a way where they need him to hold up his end. Can't wait to watch these two teams that preach defense slug it out, because they both can light it up to.

Boston is such a weird team. I don't think I've ever seen a team be in two 7 games series back to back where it seems like the team can completely run the other team off the court when they have to. In almost every big game they needed the Celtics came out with double digit victorys and led big for a lot of the game.

[HiDef]

Picking the Celtics. Have gone back and forth on it, and I don't have any **** idea, so I'm taking the team with size and athleticism.

[Luke Skyowner]

Will Porter be back? He was solid for GSW against Mavs few or one game(s) he played.

[tarantism]

Friendly reminder that these are the two best defensive teams in the league. Not a lot of respect for the GSW defense in here.

Defending the Warriors is not like defending other teams. They will punish you for mental lapses. The Boston offense is prone to go on iso heavy scoring droughts where they brick a bunch of jump shots and GSW will run you out of the gym when that happens.

IMO this series comes down to whether the Warriors man and ball movement can bend the Boston defense enough without resulting in a turnover fest. This isn't about one on one matchups for the Warriors, its about relying on the system to get good looks consistently. If they can score efficiently enough then Boston will not be able to keep up.

Pretty sure the Warriors will have OPJ, GP2 and Iggy available for this series.

You had a fully healthy team in game 6 while Miami was missing Hero and you couldn’t close it out. You had two games against the bucks where your team was fully healthy… and you lost. In fact, three of your four wins in that series was while missing one of those players.

Cool story. We won some fully healthy and lost some fully healthy. They’re tight series, it’s the way it goes.

The Grizz won a game without Ja Morant, does that mean they’re better off without him? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to prove.

Bucks won game 4 with Rob Williams out and Heat game 3 with him out. How about Miami winning game 1 when Horford/Smart were out - another dream I guess. I got your point and I'm correcting it to. Other teams benefited us having players out as well.

Rob Williams was out there running on one leg tonight. He didn't even have a rebound. We're just as banged up as every other team.

You've been here since March and majority of your posts are trolling Celtic fans in the game thread. I don't see how I was attacking his point rather than having an opinion and actually backing it up with facts.

I already know you'll be in the game thread for the finals doing your usual troll job.

[Onus]

People are seriously underrating the mavs defense, which held the suns to 27 1st half points in a game 7.

I wouldn't try to argue right now. Some of these guys are devastated that Miami lost game 7 and now it's time to cause mayhem on a message board in their mom's basement.
Logic and reasoning fall well behind emotion atm.
We're going to the FINALS baby!

The Celtics are not that important to me buddy. I don t feel the need to constantly defend my team against harmless comments. If the Heat were in the finals I could care less about what anybody thinks in terms of injuries etc. Just enjoy your team s success and stop picking fights with people. Remember nobody cares about the Celtics as much as you do.

Well, clearly you do. I'm in a thread about the Celtics, talking about the Celtics. The other guy put something out which just wasn't factually true and I put an opinion and backed it up with facts about the Celtics. Here you are, a Miami fan, in a thread that doesn't involve your team, accusing me about caring and talking about my team? Saying you don't care, then why did you chime in? What was the need for your posts? To troll.

I'm not picking fights either, that's you in every game thread - even when your team isn't playing.

So me opposing some of your takes on the Celtics is trolling? It seems to me you have a very thin skin (to say the least) and lash out at everyone who disagrees with you or says something negative about the Celtics. And I don t even dislike the Celtics team and wished them good luck against the Warriors. Which makes your accusations even funnier.
Anyways I think we have a disagreement on what constitutes as factual evidence. So I ll just leave it at that.

What were you opposing? You came into a conversation that had nothing to do with you or your team and said this.

I mean, it's as clear as day. I'm not even going to waste my time on you anymore. Clear troll.
