Good estimate. Odds no GSW guys shoot okay.. are slim. At HOME....they are a buffalo stampede.

They WILL be the first EVER to win EVERY home game. If Crowder's not there.. he's always a versatile Chemistry guy, a reason I see good futures for these Celtics. No Crowder.. chances go from slim to...whatever.

THIS ...can be a learning experience. The Celtics have a deep roster,do team effort. They are a STAR short of getting big wins but it's a PROCESS. Boston has picks and Cap $, and a great BASE. They can soon compete for Beast of the East.

So....Any hope to WIN this.. is betting on a donkey to win a Horse Race.....It CAN happen ( slim chances). What Celtics DO is LEARN, this will be vs a team going after "ALL TIME" historic. Boston is building on a similar format. Pay attention.

Bet that Donkey! Bet it hard! Go all in! Bet that ass!

And never, ever forget that the Celtics created "ALL TIME" historic when it comes to the NBA.

The Donkey ran his ass off. Good hustle and a smart game. GSW's main flaw is turnovers and Boston pounced on that. GSW is slow to adjust to Refs.. and the Refs were reluctant and inconsistent. I think Sully,IT, Bradley,Oly get a bit under-rated. I've been watching Boston because I think they can take a BIG step next year.

Also, did Barnes really pull a Smart and chuck a last second 3 when Curry was open?

I didn't think Barnes had time to confidently make a pass. He did travel though. He got the rebound and took a big backward hop off both feet to get behind the three point line without dribbling. But who knows what a travel is anymore?

Good to know you can throw rolling blocks on screens to spring your 3 point shooters!!!! Brad we'll have put this in his arsenal for future use.

Dear Danny, If we don't get Durant, please don't go after Harrison Barnes and offer him the max. That is all. Thank you.

Well done guys, way to rep the East. Crush those weak western teams!

He had enough time to shovel it to Curry, who was calling for the ball even before Barnes got the rebound. And it did look like a travel (three steps before launching shot) upon my unofficial review. (NBA Last Two-Minute Report not out yet)

Can't find AB in that picture. Never EVER leave Curry unguarded for a split second, stay glued till the buzzer!!! Man we dodged a revolver full of bullets, just crazy.

Hahahah I didn't even notice when I screencapped it. WHERE THE HELL IS BRADLEY? Why are we playing 4-on-5 on the last possession?

My theory is Bradley was so up into Curry that he took over Steph's body. Bradley was ready to make possessed Curry miss if Barnes ended up passing to him.

Just looked at the play again. Barnes actually did dribble once (though he still might have traveled). For some reason Bradley skipped out into the backcourt after rushing past the initial Curry shot and never got back in the play. Making a pass for Barnes would have been really tight, but Curry has such a quick release.

Kevin Durant watched this game and made up his mind. KD 2017 THE DYNASTY RETURNS BABY LETS GO

I wouldn't mind Barnes at all, especially if we don't draft a swing / wing with the brooklyn pick...I must agree though that an RFA max would be a little rich.

Turner > Barnes

Unfortunately I couldn't watch the game last night, but what a great win without Crowder. I watched the highlights on ESPN.com and it was basically all Warriors hightlights. If I didn't know who won, I would have thought the Warriors did. Pathetic station.

Avery made a late close out on the first Curry attempt (damn near fouled him) and his momentum took him toward the Cs basket. No chance that he could stop momentum and get back into the subsequent play

Haha. Dude contested Curry so hard that he genuinely flew off the screen and strutted back on when the buzzer went off :lol:

Just watched the game because I missed most of it last night. But, damn even though I knew we won my heart was still beating a bit faster at the end. Here's a couple of mostly related thoughts.

-What does it say about your fanbase that you felt the need to make shirts and banners that say Authentic Warriors fan?

-Gotta love AB, come a looooong way. I remember the first thread I read on this board was about trading the draft rights of Avery Bradley for Rudy Fernandez. I thought that was a bit wild back then because AB looked promising based on his draft video.

-Rozier is going to be a player, he has some sick moves but, is a horrible finisher. He'll get there. Love his rebounding, very very impressive for a guy his size. If he sticks to defense and rebounding rest of the year and doesn't take many shots I'd love to see him in the rotation for the playoffs.

-ET's bizarre clutchiness is awesome. Guy is 100% chill. I mean it's absurd how good he is at the end of games. And his defense has grown leaps and bounds. Sign the beast.

-Love Amir's play as of late, don't think he'll be here next year but, still appreciate it. Rondo would have killed to have a big with hands like him.

-What the **** does it take for Draymond Green to get called for an illegal screen? And the shove down of Amir :lol:

. Would have been tragic if we lost.

-IT is not the bad defender he was advertised to be. Has quick feet and puts in a lot of effort. What he has done despite his height both offensively and defensively is incredible.

-Tyler Zeller was awesome playing left out.

-How is Harrison Barnes being talked about as a max player? He really doesn't impress me that much. Has carved out a nice role there but, if he's one of your best players....uhh

-Finally, hope the Dubs break Bull's record and win the title (unless we make a miraculous run) will make this win all the more special. One of the few teams that matches up great with the Dubs, hopefully Thunder get destroyed by them and KD will start thinking of ways to beat the Dubs 8-)
