What the hell are these Celtics players on? Smart lands and turns his ankle 90 degrees. Williams tears his meniscus and just had his knee caved in and just walks it off. What the hell?

jalengreen wrote:celtics 28% on 2pters in the first half. 3pt shooting is keeping them alive but they have not gotten good looks at the rim IMO which is important in the longterm. the warriors have (they just choked a lot of them lol). i'd pick the warriors to hold onto the lead


offense still just was not effective at all. hard to win like that

also unrealistic to expect 2-0 on the road anyway. both teams are fine. still fully expecting 2-2

Feel like this is gonna be a gentleman's sweep. I don't think Boston can keep up offensively.

Boston's lack of reliable dribble penetration really hurts.

Agreed. Writing was on the wall considering how a really injured Miami team nearly beat us and a Bucks without Middleton almost beat us in 6 too.

Steph is the best offensive player of the series by magnitudes. Hard to win a series specially the finals when there's such a drastic gap in offense b/w the best player of the series and everyone else. You need to be a Goat defense like 04 Detroit which we def arent

Thought it was interesting how soon Warriors abandoned their offball movement system in the 3rd. That 2nd half mustve been 90% pick and roll mainly Steph and Poole. Kerr sticks with his system often stubboringly very late into series even going 6 and 7 games into it even if its struggling. He never really went full pick and roll in 3rd quarter of a game 2 before

Had to take a little basketball detox after game 1 lol. It's funny how much I let this game affect me emotionally but what are you gonna do

Anyways, this was a good way to come back to it

Also I can't get over how Derrick White looks like a teddy bear and Robert Williams looks like Predator. Boston really covering both ends of the spectrum

boston passing was completely stopped by warriors tonight, they couldnt get anythingh going offensively at times

and the turnovers and bricks helped warriors offense gain momentum

boston needs to find a way around that issue
