8 turnovers will do that. Some are us just doing too much. When we settle down, we're gonna take off.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

So far, so good. They seemed to settle down.
Onward.

I like where we are at despite the turnovers. Stifling them with our D.

If we don't turn the ball over Golden State is in trouble. Celtics defense is the stuff out of nightmares for this team.

Really impressed with how we've come out in spite of the refs.

There may be some ugly from the Jay’s, but god damn I love the fight. Think Tatum is 5-12, Jaylen 4-9, but they are putting a ton of pressure on the Warriors defense.

They’ve scored or assisted on 35 of our 40, not bad lol.

And god damn White is a STUD.

It really relies on RW being healthy and in the game. He has altered so many of their shots. I feel like they missed a bunch of good looks while he was out.

So far PP and White have been the better backcourt contributors in this series.

Probably protecting him from a 3rd foul which is the right call I think.

If we win this series it will be Brown getting Finals MVP.

I’ve been skeptical of his ability to create in the halfcourt with his turnovers/loose dribbling against MIA, but he’s making adjustments and playing stellar ball.

Golden State is easily the beat shooting team we faced this run(maybe the best) and yet for some reason I don’t feel as much anxiety as at least the last two series.

You can clearly see the GSW players are not comfortable because the Celtic defense is tenacious.

It's just a matter of the Cs taking care of the ball.

GSW is going to wear out.

No inside presence for GSW is making them one-dimensional on offense.

We’ve got a bad whistle so far, Poole and Green being dirty as hell, committing a ton of dumb turnovers and we’re still up.

Not worried.

Warriors are trying to bait into getting Tatum and brown their 3rd foul so bad. Wiggins not even looking to properly score layups, he’s so focused on trying to get body contact on brown.

If Tatum and brown both come away at the half with 2 fouls then it will be trouble for the warriors. Right now those 2 are playing soft defense to prevent a third foul.

With the way we played to end the first quarter + the refs, I'd be happy just to go into the half with a 5 point lead.

Return to Boston Celtics
