I still have them as champions but how come a championship team play that unrecognizable in back to back games of almost any series. One game they hit 20 3s, other day they commit 20 turnovers or something. Neither of these performances is the standard for them and i don't know what to expect at this point. The fact of Horford and White career nights are not gonna happen everynight was obvious. And they didn't have a better plan on offense other than their star players taking though contested shots and pray for them to drop. The reason the Celtics were in the game in 1.5 games of this series is they shot well above their average and that is not sustainable. They seemed uncharacteristic on offense in first 2 games.


Easy. They won't win the championship.

GS increased their pressure on the ballhandler and it created some sloppiness from the Celtics early on. The Celtics need to swing the ball and not force anything...... they will get good looks if they are patient.

Can’t blame the refs on this. Some bad calls early but the run the Warriors had in the third was all them. Credit where credit is due. It will be a different atmosphere in Boston though. Some of those 50/50 calls will be going the other way.

Boston did their job. Got 1 in GS. Now to take care of home court

Imagine how good Poole is going to be when he learns how to run.

Not only the 3 point spamming is annoying but the constant going back and reviewing plays for “malicious” acts. A player can accidentally trip another player and the play will get reviewed.

When both teams expect a long series why wouldn’t it be? If you expect to let up after a win guess what you’ll do?

I can guarantee that won't happen. Boston has been the most inconsistent team the entire playoffs. The only reason they are being hyped up right now is because they stole game one from the Warriors by putting up a 40 point fourth quarter. If there's any team right now that knows how to bounce back from a loss like that one, it's the Warriors.


Boom.


Don't forget, I predicted a Warriors sweep! Both before and after Game 1!

Speaking as not a Warriors fan, Juan Toscano-Anderson is maybe the most likeable Warrior in Warriors history.

Warriors hitting 7 3's in the third quarter was the difference. They spammed the 3-point shooting in third quarter and worked out to their benefit.

Boston also only score 14 points


TBH I haven't been watching this game. I have been doing other tasks but I look at the ESPN live box scores and play by play and saw the Warriors hit 7 3's in the third but also like you said the Celtics are shooting a bad FG percentage judging by the box scores.
