The 2022 NBA Finals | (3) Golden State Warriors VS. (2) Boston Celtics (BOS 1-0)

[picko]

Stealing a Finals game on the road is one of the best feelings in basketball. Incredible comeback.

I’m gonna read from page 50 on.

[Castle Black]

Celtics shot 51% from 3 in this game. Warriors get swept if Boston shoots like that every game.

They won’t. And Horford and White won’t continue to have career games. But Tatum (hopefully) won’t continue to be this awful going forward either.

[ITYSL]

Doubtful but the C's got some damn good looks all game. They have the matchup edge in this series. It's all about whether they have the mental makeup to finish the job though.

I'm very comfortable saying they will not repeat this shooting performance the rest of the series. No matter how good of a look they get.

That's not to say they'll NEED to. But tonight won't happen again.

If Tatum actually shows up on offense it still evens out.

Yeah, every game is different, the long Bucks and Heat series showed that pretty clearly. Pointing to one factor (ie. Celtics role players making 3s) as if that's the only thing that will change is simplistic thinking. Tatum probably won't shoot as poorly. Otto Porter probably won't go 4/5 from 3 again. Several other things.

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.

So the Celtics won because of their defense and not because they made 21 threes. I m not even saying anything controversial here.

told folks after the first quarter curry shot his wad too soon, but what do i know

[shza]

Man... I've never seen a star fold in the fourth quite like Curry.

Anyone have his second half stats? Jeeez

He seemed OK. Not missing wide open threes like “first team All NBA” Tatum. His third quarter was weak though.

Atleast Tatum was moving the ball around and got 13 assists.

Curry was really forcing it after the first. Didn't seem him dance around too much in the fourth.

You’re not seriously arguing that Jayson Tatum was better than Curry tonight than Curry, are you? He was like the third worst player who saw the court for the Cs. Props to Horford and White going like 95% from 3 in the 4th. Hard to sustain, but impossible to beat.

Thank you Celitics you just made my night ....cheers

Payton Pritchard is underrated.

Should be a starting PG somewhere else.

Lol omg, here come the Cameron Payne takes (like last year)...smh

He's a Vinnie Johnson of the 3-pt era. E.g., both of them were surprisingly good rebounders.

I assume it is the mic placements by espn but the audio from the swishes was very satisfying

First home loss this post-season.

[meh]

Celtics 8-2 on the road in the playoffs. That is really insane against this level of competition.

Celtics shot insanely well in the fourth quarter but they also held the warriors to just 16 points in the quarter. Both things can be true

So game 1 mvp ,
Realistically JB right ?
Horford scored but more as a supplemental scorer , JB did most heavy lifting during comeback .
Agreements ?

What Udoka said about the ECFs is reminiscent of the 2011 Mavs after they beat OKC. Doris Burke was scrambling around trying to find them to interview and they all just calmly went back to the locker room. And it was because Dirk and company didn't care about the WCFs... they set their eyes on something bigger and more important. They didn't want to celebrate that accomplishment.

Their defense kept them in the game long enough to get hot. GS defense never let them build a big enough lead even when Tatum sucked.

[LukaTheGOAT]

You’re in the House That Curry Built. G1 was always going to be tough.

Condolences regarding the House That Curry Built

[Jkam31]

Curry nowhere to be found after that shoot around in the first quarter

Green had 4 points on 12 shots and celebrated the 4 points like he was going for 60

[davey_wavy]

Draymond got a big mouth for such a small boxscore.
