What bothers me is how the Celts lost.
The Celtic players look broken.
We lost a game where we went cold in the final 3 minutes and the greatest shooter of all time made a few..
Not sure why that makes us broken.

It's kind of remarkable we even have 2 wins with how garbage he's been all series. I actually think he played pretty good in game 1 but he still shot terribly. I read a stat that he is shooting something like 27% on 2's?! HOLY S***. Forget superstar, that's role player %. A bad role player at that.
We are literally 4 games into the finals and he hasn't had a single superstar type game. Let that sink in. Not....One. If we lose this series it's on him. We can't beat the warriors with our superstar not playing like one while theirs is going nuts.

Game 2 they looked like they quit in the last 3 minutes of the third.
Had no impact in game 3.
Nothing to see here.

If we didn't get historically hot in Game 1 in the 4th quarter we lose Game 1. So it all averages out. When Smart is hitting his wide open threes we usually win. When he bricked two in crunch time tonight we lose. The officiated was terrible. So one-sided in our favor as it has been pretty much the whole playoffs so I'm surprised we lost. But I said, we will only lose, with us having the refs on our side plus a severe talent advantage, if we are turnover prone or have a historically bad night shooting. Well, it wasn't historically bad but it was bad enough and combined with the turnovers you get what you got. I wouldn't really blame anyone much except maybe Ime. I have no idea why our guys sag on screens giving shooters space. It happened over and over again. Baffling.
Should the Warriors go on to win this series that was an all-time performance by Steph right up there with the greatest.

Hi guys, I come in peace. I just wanted to say that this is a theme that is repeated pretty much every year GSW is in the playoffs. Teams try to target Curry (or maybe some other matchup like Poole), and GS knows it's coming. This predictability in the opponents offense plays to GS's advantage. I think teams need to run their offense organically against GS and take the best opportunity given. Sometimes you will end up with a mismatch you can capitalize on. When you do, it will be because you put real stress on the defense first and put them in scramble mode.
