NBA FINALS – Gm 1: Celtics (0) @ Warriors (0) – CON'T, 9PM, 06-02-22

Tatum should be embarrassed tonight. This team saved his bacon. He had nothing to do with this win. Nothing despite the 13 assists.

Why? Because he was leader of a team that rocked an undefeated team at home? 13 assists is f’ing huge!

Again his behind got carried. He was a complete no show tonight period. His teammates saved his behind. Had they lost he would have been the story.

That's the whole concept of what a team is though, isn't it? You've got to have each others' backs.

Incredible game win team!
It all came together I

[Tyakack]

This team is special rather we win the finals or not. Run it back.

[moonie_mcgee]

Tatum was perfect for us tonight.
He played to his strengthens.
He was the playmaker.

Edit: He's matured that was everything.

[leper-con]

[Tyakack]

Hmmmm, looks like GS is capable of having absolute terrible quarters too. I don't watch them as often as the C's. Does this happen alot? IDK..

[MaxwellSmart]

Warriors acted like this was a few years ago---that sh*t is ovah....C's are the new kids in town, not gonna play dead for anyone

[exculpatory]

So many of you gave up ..... so many

Just read back through some of the posts before our fantastic run.

So so so so so many horrible takes.

Some are due to emotion - partial pass.

But many of these posts reflect a blatant ignorance of the game.
A bunch of these guys have never played basketball or even touched a **** basketball.
They understand what is going on & who is doing what well or poorly as much as my long deceased dog, Rufus.

Pathetic.

[ConstableGeneva]

Celtics are taking game 1.

I tried telling y'all.

[GreenBloodedC]

Warriors are crazy. Knowing the Celtics, they would probably take the foot of the gas in game 2.

But they gave the Cs so many materials during the post game press conference, and the Cs will be looking to prove Warriors wrong

Derrick White (born July 2, 1994)[1] is an American professional basketball player for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Golden State Warriors' worst nightmare.

Boston Celtics (2022–present)
On February 10, 2022, White was traded to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford, a 2022 first-round pick and the rights to swap 2028 first-round picks.[25] White played his first game with the Celtics a day later and finished with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

In May 2022, during Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat, White scored 22 points on 7-for-14 shooting, alongside 5 assists and 3 steals, in a 111–103 loss.[26] The Celtics would go on to eliminate the Heat, earning White his first Finals appearance in his career.[27] In Game 1 of the Finals, he logged 21 points and three assists in a 120–108 win over the Golden State Warriors. He also cooked Curry in the 4th quarter..[28]

Then you saw me slam it down.

Almost did my obligatory Celtics by 15 take when they're down but I settled for the dub.

Celtics have an amazing opportunity Sunday to really put doubt in the Warriors.

That still don't respect the Celtics, they all were scoffing at the idea that the Celtics can be this success at shooting going forward.

Fine by me, they ain't ready if they don't know that ****.

They were really out here totally disregarding the Celtics success as not sustainable.

For a team that's been there before you would think they have more respect for what the Celtics are accomplishing.

It's the same **** every single series. It's painfully (for other teams' fans) clear that folks don't watch Boston nor know that they've been elite-elite since mid-January. This isn't the same team and they're not going to roll over. A massive run can happen literally any moment.
