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

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

I'd vote Derrick White......

Great game Boston, their physical defense was just what i was worried about. Brown carried the team until everyone started warming up, we needed to get someone more physical on him. Iggy has some good moments, but dont know how much it helped changing up the rotation we have been using this whole playoffs, it really limits our outside shooting with him and Draymond out there at the same time. Well this is the time the coaching staff has to step up and bring some adjustments or its not going to be a long series.

Absolutely. He got them back in it early in the 4th.

I think the biggest thing tonight showed us is why it’s very important to have high basketball IQ players who can impact the game in multiple ways.

Tatum, Smart, Green, White, Horford, all found ways to be impactful by reading the game as it went on, making crucial adjustments and playing winning basketball. So many people want to give endless praise to the Kevin Durant and the Kyrie Irving’s of the game. THESE are the players who deserve that praise. Guys like Irving and Durant play to score. These guys play to win. Having guys like that is how the warriors rose to prominence in 2015, and tonight, we’re witnessing it now with Boston.

First home loss this post-season.

12days of rest off is never good for any team

Really bizarre how the Celtics won.

Lights out shooting from Horford and Derrick White. Tatum was bad and Brown was a little off.

I won't buy the its not sustainable BS though. Every game is different. Tatum/Brown will play better.

Whole team gets mvp.

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%.

Warriors will take Tatum playing better on high volume than role players shooting 65% on nearly 30 3’s. Warriors shooting was far closer to “normal” than the Celtics.

Great game by the Celtics, huge heart. Warriors need to change their tactics/rotations a bit next game.

Al/RW3 34pts on 16 FGA
Green/Looney 8pts on 16 FGA

First home loss this post-season.

Celtics gave Heat first home loss as well SMH. Ya'll better bring it home haha.

[Ballerhogger]

It’s almost like the warriors need actually big man to pair with looney …. Didn’t I say this all year ???!! But no

I think this is Horford. Came in when we needed him the most. JB a close 1b.

Incredible game Dubs fans! Steph is a menace lol. Your crowd is great. See ya Sunday.

That crowd was the the rowdiest by 3x orders of magnitude of anybody Boston has played in the previous playoff away games.

[ITYSL]

I'm rooting for the Celtics, but it's really not fair that God is helping Al Horford again.

Praise be

[Triple M]

The Celtics survived their 5 min lawl by stopping GSW for 5 mins, and it coincided with their offensive explosion. Their defence was a feedback loop because it led to some easy baskets which led to a set defence.

[ORL_on_FIRE]

Other than Curry taking advantage of Robert Williams.. I didn't see a whole lot out of them.

[TheLand13]

Anyone who thinks Tatum played poorly tonight need to go back to learning the basics of basketball.

[PierceFan4ever]

The warriors defense looked like Swiss cheese compared to the bucks and heat. I was frustrated with how many open shots the Celtics missed in the first 3 quarters especially Tatum.
