Steph Curry is about to have more titles than Larry Bird

It's becoming increasingly hard for me to see the legend as a top 10 all time player

Green of course has to be a buzzkill and miss the wide open corner 3 to end the half :lol:

Good half by Draymond though

After zero shot attempts in the first 8 mins, Tatum closed 6/9 from the field. 13 points, 8 rebounds. Just need Brown to start playing

I dont expect another game 1 4th quarter by the Celtics. Meaning they can't lose the 3rd quarter, which the Warriors are so good in.

Bucks with Middleton would’ve dominated the Celtics. They’re pretty overrated and still not ready yet.

Only a 12 point game with a full half left and the Warriors aren't even playing that well so far. This is a totally winnable game for the Celtics, they just need to stop turning the ball over, keeping focusing on D, and start hitting some shots.

This series has come down to Tatum not being able to bully Wiggins, who has basically shut him down.

Btw, Curry’s layups are up there with Irving’s for making some of the most difficult looking shots. He’s freaking incredible.

I will say this. If Celtics don’t have the 3-pointer going they look very pedestrian and beatable. All things being equal GSW has more versatility scoring wise.

24 10 and 6 over a career, with 3 titles, 2 FMVPs, 3 MVPs, ROY, 10x All NBA. His spot in the top 10 is pretty secure.

Warriors defense only has one impressive athlete Wiggins, maybe 2 if you count Payton. Not much length. And yet the defense is very high quality because they know what they are doing.

Warriors don’t need to Klay to be Klay when Andrew Wiggins plays like the All-Star that he is. He’s a game-changer for the warriors.

Loving the defensive intensity by my Dubs! Got to keep it up, get some rebounds, some steals and get out in transition! Lets go GS!
