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

Yeah, let's hand the trophy to GSW tonight; Curry gets his first FMVP

Not to mention the fact that the series is 1-1 with Boston having HCA, but most people should be able to see that both teams have noticeable flaws and go through periods of sloppy play, offensive and defensive lulls. I would be shocked if we are not tied 2-2. I called a GSW win in 6 or 7, nothing after the first two games has changed that view.

Now it Boston can somehow win both at home, it becomes interesting but this is going to be a long series.

Being down 3-1 is not a death sentence if you have HCA. Somehow I don' think you are getting 2016'd here lol. Taytum and Brown are great but not really close to Kyrie/LeBron overall lol.

For all the talk of Tatum's improved playmaking, he was a disaster with the ball this game.

He'll need to clean it up. The more concerning thing to me is how slow and labored Horford looked. Too much partying from his birthday or is he pulling a CP3? I guess we'll find out.

[GSP]

Warriors 3rd quarter runs are historic dynastic stuff. Its unreal and you cant even gameplan it. They do it every year and you know its coming... Its like Mjs Bulls where theyd have those runs and halves where they turned the other team over 40 times and they were too scared to dribble the ball with how insane the ball pressure was from the perimeter.

I said it after game 1 that his playmaking was the same level its been since the bubble where it really took a jump. Ppl who think he suddenly took a leap now were just focusing on the 13 assist number

Did people actually think this? It took an unsustainable shooting game and pretty fluky quarter for them to take G1. The last three quarters of this game and first three of G1 felt far more telling than the other two. Kinda like the first two games of the ECF.

I would be pretty surprised if GS loses this series if they stay healthy, just way more balanced.

Read on Twitter

even the players cant stop talking about KD

[eminence]

That's just uncalled for, Dray just can't help himself.

[70sFan]

Poor performance from Celtics. Horford wasn't himself tonight and it's clear they needed him at 100%. Brown performance was also horrible, he looked like he tried to prove someone that he can make those shots.

Some posters laughed at me when I said that Klay is arguably the weakest and least important starter on Warriors team and he played like a bench warmer this game, yet Warriors kept being competitve with him playing horribly.

I don't think we can say anything about the end of the series before the end of game 4. Celtics underperformed in the 3rd quarter, but they stole one Warriors home game - they should be fine. We'll see how they adjust in game 3.

[WestGOAT]

green does something technical worthy, now the traditional thing would be to T up someone who has nothing to do with the play like a guy on the bench

Draymond gets away with murder but that particular situation didn't seem like anything to me.

this is where draynond past history goes against him

on one side he is allowed more leeway to be physical than most in regular contact situations

on the other he doesnt get benefit of the doubt for stuff like technicals or dirty plays

Absolute bull, if anything Draymond doesn't get enough technicals. The amount of stuff he gets away while screaming at refs is absolutely ridiculous. He should have been thrown out in the first half of game 2. Game-changing decision.

[Gooner]

Golden State blew them out and they didn't even play great offensively. They are still a better team.

One bad shooting game by Klay and that's supposed to justify the claim that he is the worst player in their starting 5?. By that logic, the whole Boston team sucks because they all had a bad game. You didn't talk like that after game 5 against Dallas.

More like one poor postseason.

I did and it's the opposite - you use one good Klay game to support the idea that he's still amazing. I said this before game 5, after game 5 and I'm saying it right now.

Warriors are better without him on the floor. At this point, I don't think it's a fluke.

He wasn't bad until this series. This Boston defense makes it tough even for better players than him. But he will figure it out.

It's not like anybody else has been great offensively, other than Curry. Klay will deliver in this series when it matters the most, like he always does..

We are in the finals, these games matter the most and he's been horrible so far...

[Dutchball97]

I don't think Klay is playing that much worse than he used to tbh. He's not quite as efficient and he seems to have lost a step defensively but overall this is just who Klay has always been, a very effective role player who got treated like a star because he scored a lot of good teams.

I don't think that's fair to prime Klay. I always view him as very overrated, but he was much better player on both ends of the floor in the past.

Second leading scorer of a dynasty is a role player. Only on real gm you can find these types of statements.
