I told you all Boston was going to run through them. Still got the Celtics in 6.

I also notice he hesitates to shoot a lot more now when he's getting the ball off the catch. He even awkwardly leaves off one foot on these fakes sometimes. I still want to see him get one healthy off-season before I say he can't be the player he used to be.

I think he can be better next year for sure, but more offensively than defensively. I think the days of Klay as a defensive stopper are long gone.

Warriors defensive woes in 4th has a lot to be with their offense too, or Bostons clampdown defense… Boston got stops and attack warriors in transition… warriors defense never settled scrambling for their lives… not mentioning TOS, which made it snowballing and even worse…

Here is the thing on they won’t go 21-41.

The Celtics have a host of high volume 3 shooters. Will White and Horford go 5-8? No. But could Grant Williams and PP do that? Yes.

Boston has 7 guys who can hit 5 3-pointers a game.

Only 3 out of 6 necessary;-)


Still not beating us 3 out of 6


Boston has already beaten 2 teams that are better than the Warriors this playoffs. Not really that surprising they are gonna beat a lesser team.

Bradley Stevens should give Daniel Ainge some of his 'ship bonus if they win it since he constructed nearly the entire roster.

literally last year, Suns were up 2-0. They were the home team but still, looked like they were about cruise.

1 game is just one game. However, game 2 is a must win

He shoots the ball a bit differently too, still makes them, but also more inconsistent I feel.

He's on the books for two more years after this one. He's not a rental.

Boston was the better team throughout most of the game. The warriors had 5 good minutes in the third and that was it. To be honest the only reason this game was close at halftime was because of Curry. I didn't like Kerrs coaching. He just watched the Celtics turn this game around at the start of the fourth quarter instead of calling a timeout.

As they should. GSW is going to have to do something to win this series that nobody else in the playoffs has been able to do - Win 2 games in a row against these Celtics. This was also the one game GSW was most likely to win, and they couldn't do it.

I dunno why people wouldnt confident in the Celtics. Theyve been the best team in basketball for the better part of 6 months and now have to win 3 games while a worse team needs to win 4.
