I'd like to argue the point. I wouldn't say Curry is that good of a real point guard. He's the best SHOOTING guard I've ever seen. Yes. Hands down. THere have been better point guards, and I mean real point guards. The way the position is supposed to be played. Curry coming down and jacking up a 3 as the first option is not a point guard. That's a shooting guard.

And personally I'll never forgive nor forget that punk move of the century of Durant's joining a championship team. He was ring chasing pure and simple. That was punkish as hell. I doubt he proudly displays those rings. He probably has them mounted somewhere but deep down in his heart and soul he knows they were cheap.

Grant really needs to give the team something in this series. He is not even taking his wide-open 3s anymore.

I'm having a difficult time remembering when Grant played well. I don't think it was last series. Maybe it was game 7 against Milwaukee?

Iggy is out. Not a huge loss for Golden State but he had a couple baskets the other night

Been reading lots of analysis articles that think GPII will have a huge impact in this series. Admittedly, I haven’t watched him nearly enough but how’s he going to be offensively coming off a broken elbow on his shooting arm? If he’s another guy the Celtics can just ignore on defense, I don’t know if his defense can have enough impact to offset his offensive deficiency. Also the Jays are significantly bigger than him, is he good enough to defend them?

I don't recall a game since then...

I’m pumped

I’m not seeing how GPII is suddenly an X factor. He broke his **** shooting elbow a month ago. Since when is that a 4 week injury?

GP can be a pest defensively, force live turnovers, and fuel their transition offense. Just be wary of your dribble and passes around him much like you do around Smart and Butler. But without Iggy, I think we see more Porter and maybe even one of Moody/Kuminga.

I predict really good games from the Williams twins. And of course Derrick White, cos nothing can stop him now.

That's because I don't think there's been one. I don't know what to make of grant. He looked like he was playing himself into a huge contract and it's been a 180 since then

Game 2 in Miami where he scored 19. Was a +37 in a game we won by 25.

He guarded Bam all series long so that alone is valuable for us (like with Giannis in previous series). Anything he gives us on offense as a bench scorer is a bonus.

I'm hoping both Rob Williams and his dicky knee are ready to go. But today, Marcus is my spirit animal.
I've got a finals Game tonight, and a lot of ankle pain I'm gonna try and play through. So I'd like him to show me the way.

Celtics need to survive the first quarter. Warriors are gonna be a desperate bunch. Survive the quarter and hopefully Tatum shows up for this game.

Maybe it's GSW who's going to need to survive a big 1st qtr. from Jayson Tatum. :lol:

What are the odds this team finally developed a killer instinct within the past 2 days & comes out hot tonight to try and demoralize the Warriors?
