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.
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.
imagine your team being so irrelevant that you have to brag about your players past success on different teams

I don't think either of these teams is going to be overly phased by prospect of winning on the road, so I'm not too worried for the Warriors dropping this game, however there are definitely some adjustments they need to make.

After playing Miami for seven games, the open looks the C's are getting from the Warriors must be like having weights taken off your shoulders.

If GS doesn't rally Sunday, we're looking at a sweep. No way the Celtics lose at home to these chumps.

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
Offhand, I can recall him singlehandedly setting up 2 makes in the critical stretch when they pulled away. But I agree, it's a combination of drawing the attention and making the right passes, as opposed to him being some master ballhandler/passer.

Warriors are 42-2 in the playoffs under Kerr when taking a double digit lead into the fourth. I don't think it was "typical Steve Kerr"

As is that of the Warriors fans. The laziest cope is always “they won’t shoot that well again!” completely ignoring all the reasons that facilitated that hot shooting. Particularly the fact that the Warriors got stifled by the Celtics defense in not just one but two quarters.
Warriors will lose against a team that is clearly better than them. Just like in 2019. Steph - Klay - Dray + roleplayers is not enough to hang with elite defensive teams with star wings, great defensive backcourts, and a brilliant defensive mind at the 5. 2019 Raptors and 2022 Celtics are eerily similar in team composition and both teams are just straight-up better than the Durant-less Warriors. Frankly I doubt the Dubs would even make the finals if they didn’t get to play two cupcake matchups in the first two rounds, but that’s the way the cards were dealt.

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.
Grumpy Heat Fan wrote:I said the winner of the ECF would go on to win it all.
No idea why everyone was bandwagon hopping the Warriors. Both the Heat and the Celtics are better teams.

That said....Boston is by far the most physical team Warriors have played. Hats off to them for stealing game one.
