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

[TheLand13]

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.

Yeah because Irving and Durant haven't won Championships

Youre acting like these Celtics have something they don't cause they won one game. What a joke.

Yeah, they both have in fact won a title. One got carried to one and the other joined the best team so he could be guaranteed two of them.

And they do have something that they don’t. Wanna know what that is? Am upcoming game, because unlike Irving and Durant, they were able to get the job done and advance to the next round.

I’d be more worried about your ruined reputation on this site if I were you.

One thing about the Celtics shooting..... besides Tatum not shooting well.... Grant Williams was pretty bad as well.

So there is a chance his 3 point shooting can replace White or Horford's 3 point barrage.

Ask yourself that a few more times

[Dan Z]

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

My vote would be Derrick White.

[G R E Y]

Lol why are Warriors and Celtics players dapping each other up. It's game 1.

Mutual respect. Udoka spoke of it pre-game in the locker room; Klay spoke of it in a pre-game interview.

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

Shot poorly. There is a difference. He was excellent facilitating.

Shot poorly? Yes, no argument from me on that.

Played poorly? No.

Where does it say in "the basics" that shooting 17% is playing well? His team picked up his slack and theres no other way around it

[BoatsNZones]

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

Condolences regarding the House That Curry Built

Facts are facts.

Long series ahead.

Send a meaningless tweet to Luka for me regarding his dismantling. Mahalo.

[StojkoVrankovic]

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.

Sure whatever works for you.

reality? yup, that works for me

He shot poorly and refused to abuse smaller defenders. Been crowing about it for years now. Yes he was excellent every else though.

Yeah, I wish he would catch it more in the mid-post, elbow or wing and make 1-2 dribbles and attack there. He's so versatile and sometimes settles with starting his playmaking beyond the 3pt line.

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

Yes that would have stopped all the 3s.

Both are Champions no matter what idiotic excuses you make for them getting there. That can never be taken from them no matter how upset it makes you

Pretending they can't be part of winning teams is literally false.

And doesn't matter if Celtics win this year or not. Cause Celtics were sitting at home when they both won titles.

[ORL_on_FIRE]

Hate to say it.. Klay been kinda meh..

[JujitsuFlip]

Turns out, not having that KD release valve and safety net makes things very difficult, lol

[jfs1000d]

Here is my thing. That’s a scary result for Boston.

It was t the shooting. That will come and go. It’s that Brown could not be stopped.

That’s scary to think of Warriors can’t handle him.

I don't think Tstum was particularly impressive as a playmaker outside of the first. Easier to rack up assists when your teammates shoot 20/36 from deep. Celtics run in the 4th started with little involvement from tatum

Huh? Why do you think our guys were open?

I think GSW seem to tire in the 4th quarter... Celtics weren't open because of some amazing playmaking from Tatum, and GSW focusing everything on him. Boston just shots lights out in the 4th whether open or not.

Well it was a 40-16 4th. Nobody is saying Tatum's passing was responsible for that. You've got to be making shots. But he contributed to that. He was getting hounded. You take him off the floor and you're not getting looks like that.

[nikster]

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.

Are they gonna shoot like that every time they're open? Yeah he's a star and he draws attention. I didn't see any particularly imressive playmaking outside the 1st

Idk, Grant Williams has been pretty bad for almost two weeks now lol

Well... in Game 2 against Miami he had 19 points on 7 shot attempts. And he had 11 points in Game 7 against Miami.....

Now whether he can stay on the court against the Dubs remains to be seen......

Bruh this iteration of your Brooklyn Nets are toast, it’s very clear. Time to move past the denial stage. Durant the bandwagon rider will never lead you past the second round…

He also attacks the rim looking for contact like he has Giannis waiting for him but it's somebody like Curry hoping for a foul call.
