2022 NBA Finals | Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics (BOS 2-1)

Lmao Mrs Draymond was clutching her pearls about the Boston crowd cussing at basically the exact moment Draymond was doing his post-game presser on live television with his son sitting next to him and cussed in his very first answer to reporters.

Try wearing a Dubs shirt and a Yankee cap. Then you'll really hear something.

Boston fanbase has a history of being classless.

Its the finals in a professional sport.

Nah, it's a great chant to teach all the kids in the crowd, which is probably how the crowd learned it in the first place when they were kids. Keep that tradition going!

lmao at Warriors fans. "It's a mans league"....right?

[BigTrade92]

Were Warriors players/fans always this soft?

Imagine complaining because a hungry team/fanbase is making the atmosphere in a championship round tough for you to play in…

No sh*t Boston fans don’t care about you or your team. Cue the Kobe soft gif.

[GSWFan1994]

Unfortunately I couldn't watch the game yesterday.

The thing about my Warriors, though, is what I've been saying since the start of the season: many times, they play without a sense of urgency.

Many possessions are taken off. The offense is not executed very well for long stretches of time. The defensive rotations are not as crisp from time to time. Someday, all of this would add it up and cost us a series.

When we are good, we are very good. When are bad, it's terrible, disgusting. It happened on some parts of the season. In game 1, we threw the game away at the start of the 4th, when Draymond and Iguodala basically wasted multiple possessions by doing whatever they wanted on offense.

It's do or die for us on Friday, and I'm honestly not that optimistic.

Must have been all those bad words that the Boston crowd was saying that distracted Curry.

[FrodoFraggins]

on one side sure

Hahaha.

Let’s hear your argument for anyone remotely close to him, forget better.

He is the Finals MVP down 2-1.

Let’s hope it does not come to that.

The point he was making, and the one you apparently missed - is that Curry is being hunted on the defensive side. It's hurting the Warriors.

Curry is the best player in the series though. Saying "buy far" is a huge stretch though considering he's being abused on defense and ghosting in the 4th. Celtics have probably the next 4 best though. So what's your point?

Some people only look at offense and neglect to deduct for being a negative on defense. Hence his "by far" being a bit much. And yes that was my point.

[Triple M]

I don't understand why people are calling for more Looney. The Warriors were obviously looking for more offense because the Celtics were turning it into 3 vs 5 in the half court

[Dan Z]

Klay Thompson has been in the league for 11 years....the crowds in Boston shouldn't surprise him.

[Triple M]

Was Curry abused on defence in game 1? I genuinely don't remember. I think yesterday's game had more to do with being in foul trouble, which is an intelligent thing to exploit. However, Curry has shown more physicality defensively in previous games. Another difference might be that the Celtics stopped fishing for fouls and had a decisive mentality.

[bb22]

Klay and Dray have to step up in game 4. They (mostly Klay) usually show up when it’s do or die. Don’t think Steph will drop a 40+ game on the road in Boston.
Should be a fun one.
Hopefully Tatum can recover, since he’s been less aggressive at the rim with the bum shoulder, and Steph is healthy.

[Gomes3PC]

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.

How so?

The Celtics clearly have the physical edge in this series.

The Celtics have fared very poorly in games with a loose whistle for the last three series. Their biggest weakness on both ends is becoming turnover prone, as it kills the O and takes them out of their elite halfcourt D.

When the game is called tight they still defend really well but other teams can't handcheck, swipe, grab and jostle their ballhandlers, which limits their risk of live ball turnovers. None of their top guys have lockdown handles; Smart is honestly the closest thing.

Further, Tatum especially falls out of his game when he feels he's not getting whistles. Milwaukee bumped him a lot, PJ Tucker turned it into a wrestling match, and now Draymond is trying to do the same. Tatum is getting better at avoiding getting caught up in lobbying the refs but Ime constantly has to remind him to get back and defend vs complaining to the official.

[Green89]

Boston fanbase has a history of being classless.

When Draymond says post game how the people in the Boston area must have low IQs, anyone wearing yellow and blue in Boston is going to hear it. The GS staff should tell Draymond to shut up and maybe he wouldn't incite that kind of anger. Taking a shot at New Englanders IQ is pretty low, just because he was pissed off that a reporter asked him about his sissy little podcast. What a cry baby.

Don’t have a horse in the race, just want to see a competitive and fair series between both teams, the officiating from last night’s game was very disappointing.

Getting Curry switched onto Tatum or Brown is absolute money in the bank for the Celtics. I’m sure their coaches are keenly aware

LMAO. Now show Green guarding Brown or trying to re-injure Tatum's shoulder.

[jfs1000d]

My stance hasn't changed: Boston in 7. Give me Golden State (unfortunately) in Game 4 by a fairly wide margin.

I hope I'm wrong.

If Boston doesn’t turn the ball, this series is over.

Boston is too powerful, too versatile, too young and too athletic.

I just don’t see in what area the warriors are a better team. Curry gonna have to elevate his game
Even more.

Warriors look cooked. Had to stage a crazy comeback to win game 2. Been playing behind all series. Unless Kerr does something different they done. And Kerr whom I never liked just really rode on the coattails of KD and the natural development of klay curry draymond when he took ove— plus the cavs injuries in 2015

It's way too early to say this. Golden State just has to win one game in Boston and they have home court advantage again.

Green will play better, Curry will be amazing as always and it looks like Thompson is back. Tomorrow's game will easily be the toughest game of the season for Boston.

Lol. Game 6 at Milwaukee with Giannis and Jimmy Butler Game 7 in Miami say hello.

Game 4 at the garden up 2-1? Lol.

So sober now, let's look at Tatum and Curry's raw stats:

Tatum: 22/6/8 on a 34%% FG - 48% TS (2.9 TO/G) 109 O-rating - 114 D-Rating

Curry: 31/5/4 on a 49% FG - 64% TS (2.5 TO/G) 118 O-Rating - 112 D-Rating

Alright points stand, onto G4.

I don't think anyone has said that Tatum has been better than Curry this series.

Curry has played swell. Tatum hasn’t shot well. That doesn’t really bode well for GSW. Celtics up 2-1 and Tatum hasn’t had an A game yet?

Boston’s ceiling is so high.
