I cant believe how overrated Green has gotten that people were considering him a frontrunner for DPOY this season and he was an All-Star putting up 7ppg 7rpg and 7apg? Give me a break.

Jayson Tatum in the playoffs pre-shoulder stinger: 28/6/6 on 45/39/85 splits

Jayson Tatum in the playoffs post-shoulder stinger: 23/8/6 on 40/38/82 splits

He's very obviously not totally physically right out there, and any discussion about his performance without mentioning his injury is incomplete. But he's still finding ways to get it done.

Steph getting targeted and exploited every chance they get. Boston knows they can attack the rim without getting much resistance. Only thing they need to clean up is going under screens. Draymond Triple Single Green needs to play better.

Curry is the best SCORER in the series so far and nothing else! Defensively he's probably one of the worst players in the series (the C's keep hunting him over and over because he can't do anything to stop them). In assists and rebounds - nothing special.
Basically Curry has one (maybe 2) good quarters a game, but he also has 1 or 2 really, really bad quarters a game.
Brown and Tatum (and Smart) are playing much better over-all games. They are giving it all they have on both sides of the ball. To me that is much more valuable than a guy who might score 4 or 5 more points, but hurts his team so bad defensively.

What changed in game 3 had nothing to do with the scorers. It's that the Dubs got a glimpse of the real Rob Williams.

Draymond Green then goes to his presser and proceeds to say about 10-20 profanities with his little son sitting right next to him. Classic!!

If that's where the Warriors mind is at you might as well stick a fork in it.

That's some mentally weak stuff to focus on when you've just gotten your ass kicked.

Celtics locker room has got to love hearing this whining.

There's a chance KD won't be just because his rings don't count.

But Steph and Giannis surely will be.

Don’t want to really get too much into debating All time rankings but idk if I’d put Steph in the top 15 all time either. And Giannis still needs to do more over the next several years before we can put him there. There’s an argument to be made all 3 of them for sure, but as of right now I wouldn’t bet on it


Yeah I don't want to turn this into a player's comparisons board but I'd say Steph is already clearly in it. Best record of all time, changes the entire game and defined his era forcing everyteam to mimic Curry ball.

Steph killed the 2 point game so to speak (well in reality he forced everyone to accept analytics despite really not wanting to because he showed anyone who doesn't will be killed by him). His impact on the game has been immense, the most we've seen since Jordan with everyone after copying his style. Shaq may have been the same if anyone could have dreams of copying his physicality but alas lol. We'll probably see the effects of Curry's impact on this game for at least 2 generations unless the NBA does an about face on the rules and somehow we start getting back to physicality.

I'm shocked honestly. There's no way that bothered them... they're the reinging dynasty surely they've encountered playoff crowds before.

So what it leads me to believe is Klay and Green's wife are concerned/upset about their play or not winning despite their play.

Well the wife maybe not lol, people love believing they're victums and therefore owed multi millionare lifestyles and never paying taxes.

But yeah I doubt the Cs locker room even knows they're complaining and the Warriors lockeroom... it was just Klay taking cheap shots being frustrated despite him and Curry and most everyone other than Green playing well until the 4th... they ran out of gas again by minute 40 and lost the game.

I'm certain they've spent 0.0% time outside of that press conference from Klay shocked and appalled or worried about a playoff crowd being loud when their team wins lol.

Steph was clearly injured on the Horford play. Even if he plays he won't be the same. This series is over. Have a good summer y'all, see you in October.

Curry is fine and Kerr is being dramatic. I am kind of amazed how many people are calling this series over honestly.

If the Warriors find a way to lose this series, what another blue ball effort by another Bay Area sports team. The Giants won 100+ only to get pummeled by the Dodgers in the NLCS. And the Niners got pummeled by the Rams only after people really thought they were the Cinderella team. This would be another big let down if the Warriors found a way to lose - this is after seeing numerous fans around here claim Warriors in 5.

If he was quiet and just went about his game - would he even be as regarded as Al Horford - this year ?

Incorrect. Dude was clearly hobbled. It's the same ankle Smart jumped on back in March. A hobbled Curry gives the Warriors zero chance in this series. You're just saying he's fine because you don't want to beat a team without their best player.

Celtics just need to keep sending these videos to the league office. If the refs let this game turn into a wrestling match, it's a big advantage for Golden State.
