Warriors gona feel some pressure for game 2....all it takes is an off shooting night from Curry and they could be looking at 0-2

Boston made 21 threed. That’s why they won

You must've not paid attention to the Celtics' defense in the 4th quarter. That's why they won. The threes were just the icing on the cake.


Don’t engage him, he’s still Butthurt that Miami lost. He can’t comprehend how there’s a chance Boston could actually win this series.

Btw. Just to put it out there....games like this is where having KD is a huge advantage and convenience. The system isnt producing and u can give a guy the ball to operate outside that system.

I love when they pay TV analysts big money to give insightful opinions like “I think both teams will adjust and be ready for game 2”. They’re all trash.

Homer Raps fan hot-take: Even the 5th seeded Raptors would’ve had a decent chance against this Warriors team in the Finals.



i don't think warriors can beat any playoffs team without refs doing magic for them.

Pritchard and Theis actually being able to get minutes against a smaller team is stealth big deal. Keeping Horford and Smart fresh was not an option the last 2 series.

If Celtics shot like this, not even Durant Warriors can beat them....



Clearly... they will never make it to the finals

And there is always some1 that needs to act like an idiot after a win. How did you decide that was a good comment? Im not even a Warriors fan, actually i would like Celtics to win, so even your troll game is pointless...

Those two players are nothing alike. You clearly haven’t watched PP these playoffs he has been lights out from downtown. What blows my mind is that the Warriors weren’t able to attack him on defense. Iggy should be ashamed of himself taking a fadeaway.
Please, pass what ever you are smoking if you think Prichard is a starting point guard. He is a decent player but if you watched b-ball enough the playoffs always over hype role players.

ya, gsw in trouble... the rise of jaylen brown seems to be near... didnt think it would happen this soon but about 5 years ago someone predicted this dude would be a superstar and he may have dropped hints tonight that it could be happening sooner than later.... celtics won this game with jaylen basically carrying.... scary... i still have warriors winning... but im sure there is panic in the gsw lockeroom right now.

In 2017 no. In 2018 yes. The Cavs were very weak that year


yea 2018 cavs were not good, east was really two teams. Celtics weren't anywhere close in 2018 to where they are now IMO.


i would imagine that if cavs win in 2017 kyrie stays to go for a 3-peat

but then again who the hell knows with kyrie

I dont understand this. Cavs won that series 4-3 needing every bit of godly plays from Kyrie/Lebron.

It would have been an epic series instead of the snooze fest that it ended up being. People can try disregard it all they want KD ruined what would have been an amazing 2017 finals.

And i've always said that this Warriors team right now is not impressive. It's easily their weakest finals team they've had. Everyone is a lot older and Green cant even shoot it anymore. He shot the ball really well din 16 and 17. Now he looks like he doesn't even belong on a basketball court.

Yeah 2016 is as close as it gets for a series, easily could have gone the other way. It's been 6 years, things have changed... Lebron lead a team to an 11th seed, Durant was swept in the first round and were using the Warriors losing game 1 of the Finals as an indictment of those teams?

The dubs might be in trouble. At their best I think the celtics are better than the warriors at their best; the celtics really are a "greater than the sum of the parts" kind of team

It doesn’t matter how Tatum plays if your role players shoot 17-26 on 3’s. Many of those being 4th quarter 3’s.


It will balance out. They'll shoot worse and he'll shoot better. Given that they won by 12 they have some room to work with.

The warriors also shot 42% from three, comfortably above their average of 38%.
