2022 NBA Finals | (3) GSW VS. (2) BOS (TIED 1-1)

[Patches Perry]

I am fine with no technicals there, but be consistent. It seems cowardly to look the other way on what would normally be double technicals just because 1 guy would be ejected.

Also, the implication if Steve Javy's statement that officials take into account whether a player will be ejected is that players with 5 fouls can get away with fouls because officials don't want to eject them.

Draymond gets tilted way too easily for someone who likes to think of himself as a chess master.

Is tilt a big thing in chess? Like in poker?

I guess I mixed my metaphors a bit there but yeah it’s for sure a thing in chess. If your opponent can rattle you, then you’re not gonna be sharp enough to win.

[Scoundreldays]

Warriors have shot 11 fts and Boston has shot 7 yet by all of the Boston comments you would think this was rigged like the WWF.

Nah that's just a classic game thread, one side always complaining about the refs (been guilty myself).

[Jfh20]

i love how draymond pisses opposing fans off so badly, lmao its hilarious...

[Marvin Martian]

I didn't realize how far Draymond's game had fallen till this series. He's devolved into a skill-less ref baiting flopper. He should have been ejected from this game twice. At this point he's basically a playground bully running around into people and daring someone to tell him to stop.

Green fell off ever since GS acquired Durant. He used to be above average offensively while playing DPOY caliber defense

[jfs1000d]

Boston.

11 turnovers, 38.6% shooting. They are only down 2. Like this position .

Tatum and White are now collectively 3-15 from 2, but 7-10 from 3.

Will the real Klay please stand up?

Is there a chess version of Bring It On? With lots of funny trash talk? I'd watch that.

[DTP]

I'm feeling a nice Draymond Flagrant coming at some point in the second half.

[itrsteve]

Gotta be worried if I am GSW. Boston stops turning it over they are gonna be a problem .

You can argue though a good amount of them are forced because they're coming off when Boston tries to attack. The real only offense Boston has gotten consistently has been from 3 pointers. That's not a sustainable way to stay in a game. You need points in the paint, it seems like the Warriors have watched a lot of film from Miami on what to do to the Celtics whenever they decide to drive and kick or dish into the paint.

I back this take 100%

Overall great defensive intensity from both. On most drives GSW gets the pick and BOS makes them miss every layup.

At least it’s interesting I suppose.

Serious question...

Are the Celtics one of the best 3 point shooting teams in history by percentage? Cause it sure looks like it this series. I'm expecting all their 3s to go in.

They're just relaxed.

[bearadonisdna]

Obvious question I guaranteed would be asked when you overrate someone .
What happened to Al Horford?
Fmvp front runner ?
Him being a top player in this series not aging well and clear case of prisoner of moment bias

And the dude is going to get into the HOF one day

[Dan Z]

Boston shooting 38% overall but 52% from 3pt lol

Welcome to the current NBA!

Must tougher than old school NBA where players battled down low.

[DoctorX]

Refs have been so bad.

2 clear paths not called for GSW.

Plus the numerous terrible calls going against Boston initially.

Why are they never held accountable by the NBA?

It's called a union. The NBA should be fine with firing a ref, in game, but just like any other union, firing a terrible employee is a nightmare.

You guys have been watching this league too long to think officials are out there just doing what they want. They call games this way because the league instructs them to do so.

I was watching an interview Donaghy the other day he did with Rasheed and Bonzi. He straight up said the league always sends the refs a memo before games on what to do. According to him the memo are vague but will say for example "Keep any eye on player x he tends to travel or player Z hacks too much start calling fouls on him for hacking."

[DaPessimist]

We gotta get something from Klay and Poole.

And hopefully Boston stops hitting every 3-pointer.

[California Gold]

If Klay and Poole wake up, the Warriors can cruise here. Honestly though I have to credit Boston's defense on both guys, they're *really* making it tougher than pretty much any team they've faced all year on both guys. Still though I think one or both guys get going, this will be a W for the Warriors. Might just take till the 4th for them to figure something out.
